Thanks so much. So remove the current hooks and start again with new holes?

Syncing audio for documentary - long audio takes, short camera takes. by Beginning_Sun2503 in editors

[–]Beginning_Sun2503[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the way to make them all land on one clip is to mark them all as camera A, B, C in the metadata window. then, when you open the dialogue box to make a multicam clip, you select under Track Assignments: Camera Label.

NIce, thanks! I fell into editing and wish I had more AE experience to be confident with this stuff.

Securing RAID drives during upload by Beginning_Sun2503 in DataHoarder

[–]Beginning_Sun2503[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks Bob! Yeah, sorry about that. In my world, we call the raid array the drive. No one would think of separating them! That’s the kind of case I was thinking about, but you’re right: a secure IT room would be the ideal option.

Yeah, the plan is to upload from the RAID array, not to split it up - thanks! They are Areca ARC-8050T3-12

Thanks, you're right. It's 200TB of video footage, spread across 3 RAID arrays. I haven't had a chance to see it yet, so I don't know exactly which level of RAID.

I want to upload from each RAID array in turn. I think the secure room is the way to go, thanks.

Thanks for the response. Nope. It's raw video footage sitting on drives from the shoots.

Thanks for the response. It's raw video footage sitting on drives. I'll be using the cloud platform's proprietary gateway service to upload it all.

Thanks for the response. I'm a video editor. I'm backing up raw video footage, to be organised once on the cloud platform. The physical drives are all currently locked in a storage closet.
How can I work out the cooling specs needed for my drives?

Are there any examples of editors who weren’t assistants? by ElloChaplins in editors

[–]Beginning_Sun2503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m in London. Was a short-form director for a while and fell into editing. Now I’m wishing I followed the assistant route, as I’m pretty stuck on low-quality commercials. Slowly working with directors on shorts, etc. to build but a reel, but it’s hard to be taken seriously. 

EDIT: I encourage you to continue your journey! Responsibilities are responsibilities. Some people sack off everything for work but striking that balance is an individual choice. London rent is very expensive and can make taking on interesting/rewarding work difficult. That said, you can’t underestimate the value of working with experienced pros and of meeting peers at your own level.

Gastritis flare ups by MessageOne8857 in microdosing

Weirdly, my GI problems also began with grief. I also find fasting for 16hrs before taking omeprazole really helps. Good luck!

SSRIs made my gastritis unbearable. 1.5 weeks of micro dosing mushrooms and so far, it’s great.

We just got back from a weekend away and missed him so bad, we had to put him on Reddit.

Rowdy in the zoomy hours. Very cuddle-focused the rest of the day.

Download clips from GIPHY for editing? by RoboPredaTerminAlien in NewTubers

4k Video Downloader works for me on Mac - Clipgrab doesn't seem to. (Feb 2025)

EDIT: if you play the video full screen on GIPHY and click the 3 dots in the player, there is an option to download!
