Casablanca expert Chet Davis is returning to Davenport, Iowa in March 2010 and offering this special, advanced session of his popular hands-on workshop to folks who may also be attending the March Get Together! Chet will provide you with an opportunity to be coached in advanced Casablanca skills and techniques! 

This special 2-day workshop is scheduled to dove-tail with the MGT 2010 agenda -- we'lll kick off the  morning after the MGT at 10AM Friday (time for local folks to drive in without another hotel night) and we'll conclude Saturday at 5PM.

You bring your Casablanca unit and a monitor.  Chet will supply the class footage as AVI files on DVD for use with Disk Transfer.  You load the footage onto your Casablanca editor and follow along with Chet as he leads you through two days worth of exercises to help raise you on the ladder of video enlightenment.

Registration for this two-day advanced hands-on training is just $149.00 per person for MGT attendees - $199 if you're coming for just this workshop. The registration fee includes workshop footage on DVD, expert instruction & hands-on training, lunch both days... and you'll receive a DVD set of the workshop for you to review back in your edit studio! This year I will be distributing the Workshop DVD at the conclusion of the event for efficient delivery!

NOTE: When registering, make certain you select the proper category/ticket -- there is a special reduced rate for those also attending the MGT 2010 (this is possible as Jim Meeker/MGT is kindly  subsidizing the hotel classroom rental fees).

* Your Casablanca unit must have Smart Edit 8, SE9  or Bogart SE OS 2 or OS3 active as well as the following 3 add-on software products installed and activated (not in Demo Mode) Disk Transfer, PowerKey and DVD Arabesk 4.

Other software that must be active or installed and in the 'demo' mode includes: Candy Factory, Audio Effects,   You will be provided with the Disk Transfer DVD upon set-up on Friday morning. We will load the workshop footage as part of our first day activities.

The Casablanca 2010 Hands-on Workshop host (CAM Audio, Inc) will be available at the MGT for software purchase and for those interested in hardware upgrades, etc.

NOTE: With the expected release of new Operating Systems Smart Edit 9/Bogart OS3, I will be teaching how to get the most from the new benefits of this software in this workshop!
