On April 24, the theme day "The future workflow of digital video" took place at LAI, the leading Apple Authorized Training Centre in Europe. More than 50 visitors came to LAI in Schiedam for the theme day to take a look into the future.

IT professionals, editors, cameramen, and IT managers from various media companies were present early. The great diversity of the audience was not surprising given the different topics that collectively make up the digital workflow. Consequently, it was always different visitors who sat on the edge of their seats and busily took notes.

After a brief introduction to LAI, Philippe Vié [Owner - Cam-a-lot] took the floor. He spoke at length about the capabilities and limitations of the REDONE. Maurits Sanders [Lecturer – LAI] delved deeper into the problem of storing the enormous amount of data and demonstrated the power of the Xsan solutions using several examples.

During an extensive lunch at the nearby restaurant, there was plenty of discussion about the REDONE and the solutions Xsan can offer. New contacts were made and the necessary practical experience was exchanged. After forty-five minutes, a group of enthusiasts was already standing at the door of the hall.

After lunch, it was Bart Verdult [Lecturer – LAI] who enthusiastically demonstrated how to edit data in Final Cut Pro and REDCINE. Bram Elderman [Senior Systems Engineer – Apple] subtly followed up on this by demonstrating the necessity of a good workflow. He did this, of course, using Final Cut Server.

At the end of the day, everyone went home satisfied and feeling good. In addition to a complete handout, they received a set of three different bottles of Ketel 1 as a souvenir of Schiedam—a quintessential Schiedam product.

LAI has been providing training for IT professionals in seven different countries for over 20 years and has mastered the art of explaining complex subjects in an understandable way. LAI responds to market developments and continuously adapts its portfolio accordingly. For instance, Final Cut Server training courses were recently added to the training offerings.
