You can join Casablanca expert Chet Davis in the southeastern U.S.  Chet will provide you with an opportunity to be coached in intermediate/advanced Casablanca skills and techniques!  Our workshop will be just at a beautiful retreat like setting in Hillsborough - just between Greensboro and Durham, North Carolina (nearest airport is RDU -- Raleigh/Durham)

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 hands-on training is just $199.00 per person. 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 entire workshop for you to review back in your edit studio! 

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

New Option: If the absence of  Disk Transfer (or the expense of purchasing it)  is the obstacle keeping you from registering for this work -  I have a remedy. I am happy to offer to send you a miniDV tape of the workshop footage that would need to be loaded in & split prior to the workshop. This makes sense if Disk Transfer is not something you see a big need for apart from this workshop. Contact me directly via email (chet@chetdavis.com) once you have registered to take advantage of this option.

Other software that must be active or installed and in the 'demo' mode includes: Magic Lights (or Magic Lights 2), Video Spice Rack or Ultimate Spice Box, and Candy Factory.  You will be provided with the Disk Transfer DVD upon set-up on Tuesday morning. We will load the workshop footage as part of our first day activities.

The workshop host, Interactive Learning Systems, is offering an event special 20% discount on all Casablanca software for those attending.  Contact Nancy (see below) to take advantage of these special Casablanca software prices.
