"By bringing Digital Video Expo East back to New York, we're committed to providing thousands of creative professionals with unparalleled educational opportunities on production, post-production and delivery, right in their own backyards. To accomplish this, Digital Video Expo East has created a top-quality conference program centered around three main components: DV Expert Series Classes-Industry masters will focus on such topics as Lighting Tips, Compression Tools, DVD Authoring, Color Correction, Maximizing Success with DV Cameras, and Making Video Look Like Film; DV Certified Hands-on training in two of the industry's hottest applications, Apple Final Cut Pro and Avid Xpress DV, provided by a team of certified trainers from Moviola, and sponsored by Apple, Hewlett-Packard, and Petrol; and DV Intensives-Full-day workshops on Lighting and Shooting for the Digital Image, as well as Audio Essentials: How to Have a Great Soundtrack. In addition, the event will feature an energetic exhibit hall packed with more than 75 of the industry's leading vendors unveiling their latest products and services, providing attendees with the first opportunity to try next-generation tools from such companies as Avid, Adobe, Canon, Canopus, Discreet, JVC, Matrox, Panasonic, Pinnacle, Sony, and more.
