Learn All About Casablanca Editing in New Tutorial DVDs

I am really happy to hear that the first few folks have received their brand new tutorial DVDs on the Bogart V4 Operating System and they are very pleased! I have three new Tutorial packages to help my colleagues learn all about video editing in the Bogart V4 platform.

If you've been working with the Casablanca Bogart OS already, and want to make sure you are making full use of the time-saving and production expanding new benefits in the Bogart V4 OS - then the Volume 9: Whats New in Bogart V4 is the right training for you.

If you are new to the Casablanca video editor or have upgraded from an older Casablanca Smart Edit to the Bogart OS editor, then check out Chet Davis' Casablanca Foolproof Volume 8: Bogart V4 Intensive.

You are invited to view my short 5-minute video below that will give you a good over-view of the differences in these packages.

New Casablanca Bogart V4 Tutorial DVD Bundle

Bogart V4 and The Kitchen Sink

The Bogart V4 Tutorial DVD Bundle is a collection of the Casablanca Expert's helpful tutorial DVDs that will help you fully understand the power and efficiency in your Casablanca Bogart Video Editor.

This package is ideal for the person who is either new to the Casablanca video editing platform... or even for someone who has been using their Casablanca for awhile and has made the transition to the Bogart OS platform.

For those colleagues who want just the Bogart V4 Intensive Tutorial DVD set (6 DVDs) - see this page: Bogart V4 Intensive.

If you are already comfortable with the Bogart OS - you might prefer the tutorial DVD titled 'What's New in Bogart V4' - click here for details.

 

Chet Davis has nick-named this bundle 'The Kitchen Sink' as it contains not only the Bogart 4 Intensive tutorial DVD package (with 10-1/2 hours of instruction), but also includes comprehensive tutorial DVDs on DVD Authoring with Arabesk 4, Chet's intensive tutorial on the Casablanca Media Manager (built into your Casablanca Bogart editor), Chet's lesson on the options for archiving (saving your video projects in the Bogart OS).

Plus you'll receive an extra DVD with three shorter but equally valuable lessons: Store N Share (an add-on program that enables you to edit to/from an external hard-drive), PowerKey (the add-on program that provides a lot of keyboard shortcuts), and Disk Transfer (Import/Export video files via DVD media).

This package is provided in a 3-ring binder with the DVD lessons and printed hand-outs that are companions to several of the lessons.

Wrap-up of last evenings Webinar, Reminder of Resources for Bogart V4 OS

Thoroughly enjoyed presenting an overview of the contemporary Casablanca video editor experience, using the Bogart V4 Operating System last evening.  The webinar - offered in conjunction with Draco Systems Australia - attracted participants from California to New Zealand and across Australia.

The recording from the session will soon be available as a public resource - in the meantime I wanted to remind colleagues who are new to the Bogart V4 Operating System that I have several resources to assist you with the transition to the newer OS.

If you already own a Casablanca Next Gen editor (S4000/Pro, S2000, or S4100) and are upgrading from an earlier Bogart OS version - you can read my step by step experience as I installed the new Bogart V4.1C OS version on my S-series Casablanca editor: Installing the Bogart V4 OS Software

And for those who are ready to learn the intricacies of the new functions of Bogart V4 I have assembled what I am calling a 'Quick Guide' which highlights the newest, most powerful (in my opinion) features of the V4 Operating System software. You can download your 8-page PDF guide here: Bogart V4 Quick Guide.

I am nearly complete on my latest tutorial DVD, Bogart 4 Intensive - a three disk set of thorough instruction on the system software. I will announce the product's release here which will be for sale from Macrosystem US, Dalco UK, and in my online store.

What Do You Want to Learn To Do (better) on Your Smart Edit Casablanca?

Are You Choosing to Remain with your Smart Edit Casablanca?  Me too...What Can I Teach You? 

I do have a Casablanca Next Gen. Editor running the Bogart V4 Operating System but I also have a Casablanca Renommee Plus that is running Smart Edit V9 and it remains a work-horse for me.  

It's getting a lot of my video editing work and does a great job still...I have some planned tutorials and webinars for the next months that will be of benefit and interest to both Bogart and Smart Edit OS members of our Casablanca family but I wanted to reach out and ask you -- what can I help you learn? 

Is there some operation or software you would like to learn how to use better, more efficiently or more creatively?  Please give me some guidance, some feedback - your opinion truly matters to me! 

You can visit my Facebook page to post your suggestions or reply to this topic below in the 'Comments' section - simply click on comments and log in with your email address, put in your suggestion/s and click 'ok.

Thanks!
