Free Public Webinar: Introduction to Today's Casablanca Video Editor
Members of Club Casablanca have likely received their Bogart OS 4 packages, others wishing to upgrade to this new Operating System for the newer S-series Casablanca video editors can do so after the July 4th Holiday.
There are a wealth of resources on my website for those considering or planning to upgrade, here's some tips & assistance for you (if that's you)
I have assembled some notes and links to my articles/tutorials to help folks upgrade smoothly - from archiving your codes to backing up video projects. You will find this article in the public section of my website: Preparing for Upgrade
When you receive your copy of the Bogart V4 OS disk (and activation code) 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
I have assembled what I am calling a 'Quick Guide' to help Casablanca colleagues who are familiar with Bogart OS 3 to get familiar with the new functions in the Bogart V4 Operating System. Website members can download your 8-page PDF guide here: Bogart V4 Quick Guide
And be sure to check out the free Public Webinar this Thursday, June 30th as I take you through the new features & functions in the Bogart V4 OS (details below)

Learn to use Casablanca Filter Pack Software in this Streaming Video
I am pleased with the very positive feedback concerning the recent Casablanca Expert Webinar where I presented the options and settings in the Casablanca Filter Pack software. This software is compatible with both Smart Edit & Bogart OS editors, and has ten different 'operators', some with many variable settings.
You will find the streaming video recording of this session in the Public Webinar Archives here.
On this page you'll also see a link to download the 7-page Filter Pack Manual/Guide produced by Macrosystem (PDF document).
This 47-minute video will remain in the public viewing archives through July 9, 2011 and then become a members only resource.
