Mercedes Benz hosts the next meeting of the New Jersey Final Cut Pro Users Group on Tuesday January 24th, 6:30pm at the Mercedes Benz head-quarters, 3 Mercedes Dr in Montvale NJ.

I will demo the Black Magic Design Ultra-Studio3D, the Promise Pegasus Thunderbolt Array, and the Panasonic Z10000 3D Camera.

Ned Soltz will present "Beyond The Boards -- Grading Options For FCP X" as well.

Should be a good meeting. Hope to see you there.
