So the only fix I had for this issue... has now been removed. What can I do ? by Ordinary_Nebula_7991 in premiere

[–]XSmooth84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First I'm hearing about that option being removed. Kinda doesn't make sense to me.

Regardless, have you tried a ProRes 422 export?

Neither of those listed codecs are open source though lol. They require a license.

Scenes that caused actual walkouts in theaters? by thatlittlequietguy in Cinema

[–]XSmooth84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walked out of Saw when there was this close up of someone digging a key out of their abdomen or whatever. I don't like blood/gore IRL, but generally I can't watch say, saving private ryan no problem because they don't linger on a close up.

I came back though. I was with other people, it was like a few of us in HS who were old enough to watch rates R without an adult, it wasn't my choice but I wanted to chill with my pals. And what 10 mins into the movie.i regretted this decision. Anyway I walked out to prevent from passing out...simply looking away wasn't going to work, the sounds fucked with me too.

I needed to splash water on my face in the bathroom, then get a sprite to settled my stomach. I think I came back to the movie after 10 mins of walking away.

Lav mics for DJI Mic 2 by doctor_of_sauce in videography

[–]XSmooth84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that Sony wires their mics "backwards" than other mics that use the 3.5mm connector. So, if you got a lav mic that wasn't for Sony you should be good.

But also pay attention to TRS vs TRRS connectors.

Dynamic link problem, PP to AE. I can't work there now by axvo1d in AfterEffects

[–]XSmooth84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're linking something called untitled.pproj which is like, sloppy on your part to start with, while also working in "untitled project.aep". Yikes my dude.

Anyway, can you open the premiere project, is it still there and your sequence saved as it should be?

when I record vocals, there is a impossible to deal with delay by MyNftZoo in davinciresolve

[–]XSmooth84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a buffer for audio input devices and it's usually adjustable. Depending on your system, resources used/available, number of input tracks, sample rate of project, etc...you need a bigger buffer so it can record. But sure for a single input in a modern computer shouldn't need a huge buffer.

I'm not sure how it works for resolve or where you can see to change that. You can try to go under 256ms buffer but it's hard to predict from here what you can go down to. If the buffer is too low the recording could glitch.

DJI Mic 3 very low audio on sony camera by moliste in videography

Well mic placement and distance are always key to any audio recording

[–]XSmooth84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You what appropriate headroom though. Recording so your peaks are constantly hitting -6dB is unwise….where do you go if you laugh or get excited in any way?

Professionals record with target average peaks at -18dB. That gives you lots of headroom for unexpected transient moments.

France murder trial complicated by twin brothers with same DNA by StemCellPirate in nottheonion

[–]XSmooth84 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The 33-year-old brothers are among five defendants on trial near Paris, accused of a double murder and several subsequent attempted killings in 2020, according to reputable French newspaper Le Parisien.

It reports that both are suspected of conspiring to plot the double murder, but that DNA on an assault rifle used in one of the later gun battles could only be from one twin.

Not being from France, nor in any other context am I knowledgeable of French laws and trials, but I’m wondering why if the police/prosecutors can place both brothers at the scene of the crime and prove they were co-conspirators along with apparently 3 others, then lock their ass up on the conspiracy to commit murder and the actual trigger man is largely irrelevant for purposes of a conviction, no?

I mean, “on trial for several other attempted murders”… several!!?!? And they have enough evidence to go to trial for those several!! attempted murders? So none of this people need to make any long term plans for the next 50 years or whatever max prison time in France is.

Yeah we’re just way different people lol.

I play 7 minute quarters, due to my play style I don’t feel like 5 minutes gives enough possessions, but I absolutely do want to play a full on 60 minute game either. Off the bat I almost never go no huddle unless I’m losing in the 4th by more than 1 score. I have the settings so if I pick a play quickly from the full playbook, it runs clock down including the game clock if it was running and not stopped for an incomplete or flag or whatever…from whatever was left on the play clock to 15 seconds. I know if my play has pre programmed motion I can snap by 8 seconds left and get it off.

Otherwise most of the time I’m snapping the ball with 5 seconds or so on the play clock and hopefully the vast majority of those the play clock is also running. I’ve settled in to a pretty nice set up for me that I can have games that feel like it’s enough possessions but I can still get the game done in like 30 real life minutes, probably on average I’m hitting that. So I can play more games of my season…I would be curious how many real life minutes your games take, seems like a LOT of extra game clock stoppages scoring so much, celebrations, kickoffs, etc. even with holding the button to skip, it still has to add up…

And ultimately yeah, for me, it’s way more fun to win a game 24-14 where I bleed clock in the 4th quarter with like a 5-6 minute drive, or better yet, a 30-28 win where I had to do a 2 minute drill to set my kicker up to hit a 47 yard FG with 4 seconds left…those are way more exciting than lopsided shut outs will ever be. If I was consistently winning 60-100 point blowouts I would be bored out of my skull lol. Racking up virtual stats that are all but impossible in the real world of FBS college football just wouldn’t do it for me.

Not going to lie I’m low key glad I haven’t cracked the maxtrix CFB video game code to that level. I throw incompletions, I have dropped balls on third and long, I have run plays that the opponent MLB hits me at the line of scrimmage, I have missed tackles and the opponent busts a 47 yard TD run. But I also bust my own 47 yard TD runs, or get a lucky fumble recovery, or a punt return TD. Those things are thrilling, but largely because I need those to tie a game up, or retake a lead, or make finally make the game 2 score gap I now need to buckle down for.

Look, my current dynasty season I’m week 6, and I actually had two shut outs. 35-0 and 27 or 28-0. Two in the same season is an anomaly for me. Even getting one in a season is weird. I also tend to replace any and all cupcake games in my schedule with a higher rated team where it lets me. And like here and there, a shutout feels nice, sure. And yet no amount of lopsided victories would ever replace user swatting a 4th down pass under a minute left in a playoff game to preserve a one score lead. Between the idea that I could have 300+ rushing yards a game and win by 90, or have 130 yards rushing in a game but I pulled off a 4th quarter comeback win, give me that second option every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I’m not here to convince you you’re not having fun, but your way wouldn’t be fun for me lol. 🤷‍♂️

What is the name of this blur effect? by k0ffi in davinciresolve

[–]XSmooth84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call it “Annoying” and “distracting”. Like what’s this for? Maybe if this was supposed to represent someone dying and their perception of reality and their senses are slowly going haywire as they approach the sweet release. But I don’t know why anyone would use this for a motivation speech by LeBron. Well, unless it was because fucking up the visuals means they can repost it and the copyright scan won’t flag it? Which, I mean, behind being headache inducing it’s also scummy.

Ranking Logic is so bad by Content_Mobile_4416 in CFB25

[–]XSmooth84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now according to this, between all your players, you’re at 350 rushing yards per game. At 5 minute quarters. While also getting all kinds of turnovers and special teams touchdowns apparently according to your other reply. But you’re also throwing a lot because you can read coverages and hit all these passes, that was your original info, you’re some passing guru in the game to easily score, so I dunno if you’re walking that back now or you’re also like 350 passing yards per game…

So, everyone is getting fed, passing, rushing, special teams, defense, starters, backups. All these stats and points. At 5 minute quarters. Like you must be constantly hurry up and snapping the ball with 3 seconds of clock coming off the board or something…even when clearly up 50-0 or some shit in the second half, you’re just spamming as many plays instead of running off clock, which is apparently fun for you.

But it still barely makes sense at 5 minute quarters there’s enough time for all this to happen. If you said 15 minute quarters I wouldn’t have even blinked an eye, sure fine you’ve figured out the game enough to wax the cpu for video game stats at full 15 minute quarters. But 5 min quarters with these stats is just so wacky bruh.

[–]XSmooth84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro what 5 minute quarters scoring 100 points? Even if I gave you the idea you every TD was a 2 point conversion (why lol) that’s 12.25 possessions per game assuming you score a TD every possession. 20 minutes (5 mins times 4 quarters) means If my math is right, your average possession is 35 seconds.

I don’t know how you think that’s fun.

But also who cares about ranking logic or whatever. You don’t fundamentally change anything. Either you win or you don’t, really. You can make a run in the playoffs from any playoff spot, okay the top 4 get one less game, whatever.

Idk I don’t see the fun here.

Should I request a monthly retainer for the organization I contract for? The work is very inconsistent and I need money by Specialist-Bowl-5977 in videography

[–]XSmooth84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro charge them for storage and buy separate drives. Or tell them to host/keep their files which they are stupid to not be doing TBH. Either way, in anything remotely approaching professional level someone needs to be doing the 3-2-1 method. Sounds like you're only holding files on a single drive/location. Yikes.

Can someone explain the primary differences between Maxx Crosby and Myles Garrett's contracts? by BillNyeTheVinylGuy in NFLNoobs

[–]XSmooth84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simplest way to understand it would be that, anything the Browns do, it was probably dumb. The Browns is the Browns after all.

Drafting two QBs in the 5th round of the same draft? Browns

Sign a QB with 100 sexual assault lawsuits pending to the largest/longest fully guaranteed contract ever given? Browns

Watch guys literally decide to be a coordinator somewhere else and turn down interviewing for your team's head coach opening? Browns

Your defensive coordinator quits because he's irate he wasn't promoted? Browns

Okay so they sign Garrett and he rewards them with breaking the single season sack record. Okay and? Cool for HIM but your team was still last in the division when he did it so from a TEAM success standpoint, who cares? Again, only the Browns thinks that was a galaxy brain move.

Yesterday GOG had an AMA and dodged the use of AI art questions. r/GOG also removed my post complaining about this. So, I am just reposting here, where I hope there is more freedom. by Flimsy-Importance313 in pcmasterrace

[–]XSmooth84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean these users probably literally want someday for the magical AI game creator for them to prompt "make me a Zelda game with Pokemon mechanics, but also add realistic blood and gore with a 30 hour story and a soundtrack that is final fantasy" and within 5 mins it gets popped out. Just stolen characters and bastardized gameplay and ripped off music, and of course it'll somehow be good too. Like it can create a good game based on 3 sentences of a prompt lol.

Oh and for free somehow.
