This Thursday, February 25th, at my Final Cut Pro users group meeting, I will be demoing Aperture 3, Apple's latest revision to it's professional photo management and editing software. Why am I showing a photography application at a video users group, you ask? One of the killer new features, and there are many, is that it now supports video and audio clips. Aperture can import, manage, and even edit (as in trim edit, not change-the-look-of-the-image edit) any Quicktime compatible video format. I think this has the potential to be a great video library application, making it easier to catalog, keyword, and find your video when you need it. That is the functionality I will be focusing on at our meeting Thursday night. If you're in the area and are interested, please stop by and join the fun!

In the coming week, I will write a detailed article describing those features here, so if you're interested be sure to check back next week.

If you're more interested in the photo capabilities of Aperture 3, I will be speaking at an upcoming Killbuck Photo Guild meeting (not sure when yet) and showing off all of Aperture's new tricks.
