Featured Meeting


The first-ever implementation of the Western New York Post Production Group in Rochester will be held at WXXI on Thursday October 15th at 6pm. For those of you not familiar with our meetings, we are a casual group of professionals/enthusiasts who get together about every three months or so to discuss postproduction topics and share workflows. We are officially endorsed by Avid - less as a means of selling Avid products and more as a grassroots method for Avid to learn the needs and desires of actual users. However we cover far more than just Avid, so users of ALL postproduction tools are encouraged to attend. For more information WNYPPG.org.
