Attendees included editors and assistant editors of the Motion Pictures Editors Guild, digital imaging technicians from the Local 600 cinematographers union as well as production coordinators, post production supervisors, music composers, and members of the Producers Guild (PGA). Networks and studios represented included CBS Television Studios, Warner Bros., Disney, Relativity Media, 20th Century Fox, AMC, A&E Networks, and the Los Angeles Film & TV Meetup Group, all current DAX users as well as many DAX first-timers. "Amazing turn out - great to see such high interest in our perspective of the future in cloud based post-production workflow," said CEO Patrick Macdonald-King. "We believe the key to tomorrow's industry jobs is understanding the industry's new digital business model and mastering its emerging technologies, including our widely used digital workflow platform. We look forward to bringing this training to more members of Hollywood's production and post-production community as well as hosting a session in Toronto in the late spring." Session attendees learned DAX 4.0 new features such as the Dashboard, which provides an easy way to view "new and unseen" content available to the user, the new Forum style, time code-based commenting system, updated review and approval tool, updated and more robust search and metadata tools, and the new DAX|MOBILE application which puts in place the DAX 4.0 features in the iPad application. Instruction also included DAX basics such as the tools to manage, ingest and review digital assets and metadata from pre-production, dailies from production, cuts and sequences from editorial and post, through the distribution of video, images, and documents. Instruction also covered DAX|MOBILE™ with iDailies®, a mobile iPad application distributed via iTunes. The mobile application brings all the production tools and features of desktop DAX to the iPad.
