Validated Free Parking is provided at 650 King, with an internal bike cage. There is also street parking.

In the event of a "sell out' crowd those who have preregistered will

be allowed to enter first, and anyone who registers at the door will
be allowed in on a space available basis. 

ADOBE Systems at 601 Townsend is wheelchair accessible and much easier to navigate for anyone with mobility issues than our previous meeting locations. Hope this makes it more enjoyable and easier for everyone to attend.

SF Cutters is the World's first Apple Final Cut Pro User Group forming in March of 2000.

That's right, the concept of a DV User Group, complete with networking, screenings and tech info centered around Apple Final Cut Pro was born right here in San Francisco. Currently there are 66 chapters of Final Cut Pro and ProApps User Groups based upon our model. We are proud to be the founders of this exciting movement, dubbed in 1999 as "The DV Revolution". Viva!

SF Cutters meets monthly in San Francisco and the Bay Area Feb thru Oct, the schedule may vary from year to year.
