April Meeting - Edit Further, Faster with Adobe

I am SO happy to announce our first in person meeting since 2020 – that’s right, it’s been that long. And for this meeting, we’ve got something VERY special planned. Adobe is sending some of their A-list team down to show you what’s new in Premiere and After Effects, as well as Frame io and Firefly, their generative AI tool. Plus, they will have a AMA time, so come with those things you’ve always wanted to ask.

Join Adobe as they recap and demo all the recent NAB Show announcements including Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Frame.io and discuss the company and video team’s approach to AI. Give your input on the future of Premiere Pro, ask your questions to product experts, and get your feature requests heard. Attendees will be entered to win a free year of Adobe Creative Cloud or other swag.

Folks – this is going to be one of our best meetings, so plan on joining us. Let’s show the fine folks at Adobe a great San Diego welcome by coming out and showing your support.

The meeting will be at San Diego City College in Room AH 306. The room is in the AH building which is located at the corner of 16th and C Street. SD Media Pros will have signs up to help direct you once on campus. There is plenty of free street parking, or you can pay to park in the SDCC parking structure located between 15th and 16th street near Broadway Ave - there is an entrance on either side. Just be aware - you must purchase a parking pass from a machine or the mobile app, and the machines ONLY take cash - $1or $5 bills. If you don't purchase a pass, you could be cited with a ticket. If you have ANY issues parking, please come find us and we'll do our best to help.
