The Department of Cinema & Television is proud to present a discussion with Producer Amy Scholder about the making of Disclosure, a Netflix documentary featuring Laverne Cox which explores how Hollywood’s stories have influenced how Americans feel about transgender people, and how trans people are taught to feel about themselves. The discussion will take place on Wednesday, October 14th at 6:30 pm and will be moderated by FMTV Professor Ben Kalina. Participants must register at the link below and can pre-submit questions in the Questions and Comments section of the registration form. This event is open to the entire Drexel community.

With the installation of Adobe CC 2019 in the CineTV labs, there is now a new process for licensing all Adobe software. All students must login to Adobe CC prior to using any Adobe program. If you already have a username and password for a personal account, you can use your current credentials. Please note that this will not effect any subscription plan you have with Adobe. If you do not have an Adobe account, you will have to create one. You can do so by clicking here. 

Avid Media Composer will be offline for maintenance on Friday, May 17th from 12AM to 8AM. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Due to an issue with the floating license server, Avid Media Composer is temporarily unavailable on all lab computers. Thanks for your patience as we work to resolve the issue.

UPDATE: Media Composer is back up and running. If you experience any additional problems, please be sure to report them. 

Some students have reported compatibility issues between Avid Media Composer 2018 and previous versions. We are working to find a solution, but it is recommended that you hold off on upgrading until the issue is resolved. Stay tuned for more updates.
