The UO Cinema Studies Program is pleased to offer a new kind of new media laboratory, open to anyone in the university community (that’s you) for digital editing and image creation. On the second floor of Knight Library, the lab is available seven days a week (and well into the night) during the academic year for students, faculty members, and instructors with the need to cut, tweak, filter, and deliver any type of project involving sound and picture. For your producing pleasure, the lab is stocked with 24-inch iMacs fully geeked out with Apple’s Final Cut Pro Studio 7 and Adobe Creative Suite 5 including After Effects.
