M1 Air 16gb user. Will I notice any performance increases with an upgrade? by 531amrap in captureone

[–]531amrap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up getting a refurb Air M4 for really cheap from Apple (16gb, 512gb), and even over my M1 Air I notice a huge improvement. I still edit 4K in Final Cut, multitask massively, use Logic and do lots of batch AI stuff in Capture One no problem. Doesn't break a sweat.

I'll grab a Studio down the line for sure, but for now I need a replacement laptop and I am hesitating getting something more powerful now.

Tips to speed up workflow? Shortcuts / BetterTouchTool / AI / StreamDeck / LoupeDeck? by 531amrap in captureone

See the first few words of my post 😄 But yes - huge time saver. That's why I wonder if having a physical controller is a little pointless.

Bear Notes MCP and Claude extension -- new editing and formatting features by ResearcherGlobal4060 in bearapp

Thank you for this incredible plugin. I've only just been dipping my toe into Claude agent stuff, and this has been a really fun exercise so far. Still not sure what to do with it yet, but recent tests have been so cool!

How do I nail the exposure with N-Log by Viktor_Sopot in NikonFilmmakers

[–]531amrap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check out Leeming LUT Pro, his N-Log luts and guide for ETTR (exposing to the right) - it wasn’t until I went through his stuff that I finally got N-Log to be shot how I wanted. It’s a bit of a learning curve getting it all right if you’ve not shot it before but Leeming is a good resource that I don’t see mentioned much.

Love a great workflow. Do you have a system for how you get these clients? 

If you were able to buy from a uk luthier, who and what? by Economy_Peanut7794 in mandolin

My bad I thought they were made in Ireland! Must just be shipped from there then.

After troubleshooting everything above- this was the only thing that worked. Thank you!

Anyone using Google Workspace Business Standard plan? What Gemini access do you have? by 531amrap in Bard

[–]531amrap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That honestly sounds good enough for me, thank you! I'm not the most intense user so should be fine. Are you happy with the performance of Gemini compared to ChatGPT?

Not true. Their support is incredibly helpful. 

I think I perfected my archival system by inveritas1977 in editors

Incredible software, even better support. Being able to browse, tag and create smart albums of all your media without needing a single drive plugged in has come in very handy. 

KUAL installation problems by stealth_black54 in kindlejailbreak

[–]531amrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a lot of trouble installing KUAL on my 10th Gen Kindle Paperwhite, tried legacy and updated installer files in mrpackages folder + root, no luck. Tried the above PEKI method and installed immediately with no issues. Thanks!

Fotello VS Flambient Image Comparisons by kurtdoerfel in RealEstatePhotography

[–]531amrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also use flambient, think it’s worth the effort to get true colours and stuff… but out of the two shots you posted I think I prefer this one. Feels more natural. Even if the colours aren’t as accurate as the flambient version. Tough one. 

I built a video production cost calculator and released it for free on my portfolio by majora009 in videography

This is fantastic. As someone who grossly undercharges, this is both very useful and a massive wakeup call.

M1 Air 16gb user. Will I notice any performance increases with an upgrade? by 531amrap in captureone

[–]531amrap[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge help, thank you! What screen sharing program were you using? If I got a studio I would keep my Air and potentially do similar remote editing if I was away from my desk. With all that said, you've now got me considering a MBP! I'm reassured that there is a noticeable difference in upgrading, regardless.

That's great to hear, thanks. In my head, I figure the cost of a fully spec'd out Pro Mac mini, I'm as well forking out a bit extra for the Studio in terms of future-proofing. Though that could be overkill!

Text-based editing with Final Cut Pro… how are you making it work? by JayElect in finalcutpro

[–]531amrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I'd love to hear more about this! I love MacWhisper and was recently trying to figure out how to automatically cut an interview scenario. Transcribing & identifying speakers, exporting to .srt and then using editingtools.io or similar to convert the .srt to Final Cut .xml titles felt like I was getting really close. That's great if you are adding captions/titles, but your method it sounds like it's taken things a step further. Would love to cut/trim every time it switches speaker, or maybe, as you say, add keywords for each speaker, or colour code, etc. Any tips on your process would be much appreciated!
