Sarles worked on the editorial staff of two dozen feature films as an editor, sound editor, and assistant editor. These films include:
Philip Kaufman’s "Henry & June" and his Academy Award winning "The Right Stuff", Herbert Ross’ My "Blue Heaven", Randa Haines’ "Children of a Lesser God", Frank Oz’s "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" and the ‘80s dance film "Breakin’."
Sarles co-edited the MTV Video Music Award winning Legs for Warner Bros. recording artists ZZ Top, the break through three time MTV Video Music Award nominated video Longview for Green Day, as well as a score of other music videos for top rock, rap and country artists. Formerly the head of the Commercial Editorial Department at the acclaimed special effects company Industrial Light & Magic, Sarles edited a number of television spots, including award winning commercials directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and James Cameron for clients like Nike, Reebok, British Petroleum, Toyota, KFC, NFL/United Way and Miller Beer.
Since 1995 Bob Sarles has produced and edited over twenty-five artist tribute films for the annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. He has directed and edited DVDs that have been distributed world wide by Time Life, Image Entertainment and Eagle Vision. Sarles edited and co-directed the concert film Phil Lesh & Friends Live At The Warfield, directed and edited the concert film Elvis Costello & Clover: Our Aim Is True, and edited the concert film Lucinda Williams & Buick 6 at El Rey Theater. Sarles recently produced and edited a nine DVD series for Time Life, directed a PBS pledge break special hosted by Paul Shaffer.

Digital Heaven - "Loader" NEW in SF Cutters Raffle value $49

Drag, Drop, Done.
Loader is smart because you only need to choose the media destination folder on the first drop. After that, the folder is linked to the project making importing even faster and reducing the chance of misplaced media. If you've ever moved a project to another system and had problems with missing source files, you'll appreciate the way that Loader keeps imported media together in a single folder.

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 over 100 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 regularly in San Francisco and the Bay Area Jan thru Nov, the schedule may vary from year to year.
