The next meeting of the Hershey Apple Core will be held on April 9 at the Hershey Public Library from 6:30 PM – 9 PM.

Video will be at the top of this month’s agenda. Whether you’re watching or creating, video remains on of the hottest Mac topic around. The latest version of iMovie, iMovie ‘08, brought with it a ton of controversy over what it can and can’t do. We’ll take a look at iMovie ‘08 from a project perspective, showing you how to access some of the new features and how easy it can be to take even rough footage and produce a polished video product.

If your video habits tend more to “watch” mode, the odds are that you don’t just sit at your Mac to do so. We’ll also talk about preparing video for your Mac, your iPod, your Apple TV or for the web, including a look at several utilities that can help you do it, and the Elgato Turbo.264 hardware utility that can turn almost any Mac into a video converting powerhouse.

Don’t forget to bring any items you want to sell in the GarageSale Nano part of our meeting. Just be sure to check the guidelines before you do.

(We happen to know that there will be at least a LaCie, 52x CD burner w/USB + Firewire cables and an iMaingo iPod speaker system on the table.)

We’ll also have our ever-popular Question and Answer session, our “Meeting-After-The-Meeting” dinner and more.

Spring may or may not have sprung, but you can always count on a night with your HAC friends as being fun and informative. Hope to see you there.

Our next meeting will be held on March 12 at the Hershey Public Library, starting at 6:30 PM.

We’re excited to have Apple Senior Systems Engineer Dave Marra return to HAC. Apple has been quite busy over the past few months, and Dave will bring us all up to date, with a primary focus on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.

If you’ve seen Dave’s dynamic, rapid-fire presentations before, you know this isn’t a meeting you want to miss. If this will be your first dose of Dave, you’re in for a treat. Mark your calendar now and don’t miss the March meeting of the Hershey Apple Core.
