Press Release - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
____________________________________________________________

Video Editing On OS/2 Lecture At Warp Expo West

You'll learn how to set up your own OS/2-based video editing system,
so you can splice together movies, tv shows and anything else, when
you're a part of Warp Expo West.

Multimedia expert Jerry Rash will have his own video editing system
on-site for you to inspect. And in an extended multi-period session of
lectures and interactive demonstrations, you will learn how to easily
and inexpensively add video editing capabilities to your own OS/2
machine.

Jerry will show movies and other video clips, and will explain the
proper techniques for video capture using OS/2's native VideoIN and the
alternate program Main Actor. You'll watch as he goes through the
editing process, connecting different video scenes together using Main
Actor's splicing functions. You'll learn how to do this on your own
business and home OS/2 machines.

Jerry's lecture will cover the video cards you can use for capturing
from camera or vcr including the extensive testing he's done on many
cards, the chipsets that VideoIN supports and the one video capture
chipset that seems to work best, the tricks for avoiding dropped frames,
and the methods of successfully converting between the many various
video formats including AVI, Indio, Ultimotion and the proprietary
Microsoft ASF format. You'll watch Jerry as he does video editing
on-screen, connecting scenes together in true Hollywood fashion. You'll
find out which Fixpaks to apply for best performance and which new
Fixpaks to avoid.

And during the additional interactive time period you'll get a chance
to actually try Jerry's video editing system yourself.

Video editing on your own machine is now possible and it's
inexpensive. You'll learn how to do this when you attend Warp Expo
West!
