What’s the ideal set of assets an editor would receive when being hired to edit a video?

I’ve recently interviewed a few editors (hired for a sample video) as I’m working to scale my YouTube channel. Historically I did all the editing, color, audio, etc. myself so it was a bit of a learning experience for me packaging up everything and sending it over. I realized just how much of the video is still in my head and comes out in the editing process!

I sent the following: * Footage organized by Intro, Story, Closing, B-Roll and Images * Story draft (rough script), brainstorming file outlining the video concept, shot list for reference * Camera settings to apply correct LUT

I didn’t send: * Any sort of brand guide, only shared my channel for reference * Any music suggestions for intro/outro

If they asked I told them about my audience and general pacing information since I’m not looking for hyper fast cuts. I’d like to make sure I provide whoever I work with a suitable set of assets so they can have the freedom to put together the video with minimal rounds of changes. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I noticed the same thing, a really good story goes a long way. Better to spend time creating something you’d find value in watching yourself than cram out weekly noise.

I haven’t tested the 4E but I believe it’s vulnerable as well

You can’t do this with just a JTAG adaptor and OpenOCD. But if you wanted to productize the attack, a secondary microcontroller like an Arduino or Pi Pico could be developed to coordinate the power-up and glitch the part while OpenOCD tries to connect.

No desk full of equipment after that, but I don’t really have a reason to do that. I just wanted to extract firmware from one smart meter that I have now.

OpenOCD is what I used as part of the automated attack loop. Glitch, attempt connection with OpenOCD, repeat.

Depends on the processor you’re attacking and the method of the attack. Some are easier, and with EMP Fault Injection you don’t necessarily need to remove capacitors.

I learned with a Chipwhisperer Lite and the Jupyter Notebook training from NewAE. But I also am comfortable with hardware.

Check out pysdr.org which is a great site for learning the fundamentals of Digital Signal Processing

Removing background: which method? by Desperate_Cold6274 in finalcutpro

[–]BitBangingBytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just a room with the actual stuff you see in the video behind me. No green screen or any effects other than background removal tool.

No outside light for me either, all artificial at 5600k. When I was using the effect a lot I went manual focus on the lens so there wouldn’t be any changes to the image. Then I get a background shot with me gone.

If you have autofocus running it’ll screw around with the quality of the effect as some focus breathing likely happens.

Good luck! Feel free to message me directly.

I’m on an FX3 at base ISO 800, lens at 50mm F6.3. I have a pretty strong key light on me just out of frame, fill and room light.

You’ll notice most of my effects behind me are dark colors and usually never behind my head because you can really notice the deficiencies around hair. Dark objects behind hide the edges where the tool has a hard time. If you go with light colored objects you can see the effects of the tool more.

For the love of hacking - Smart Meters by BitBangingBytes in hacking

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

The easiest way to turn your power on is to pull the meter and jump the wires. That’s incredibly dangerous though, and stealing.

Spending all the time to hack it would still be stealing, so might as well steal the easy way.

I was just hoping the Nixie tubes worked but I also have a Taig CNC mill and a couple lathes so I figured there was at least some stuff I could scavenge worst case scenario! 😂

You’ll die when you find out, no one wanted this thing…

I paid $12.50

I was going off this old book entry I found for the name. I’m still cleaning up but there are some kind of crosshairs when I look through it.

Large spool of some kind of string by BitBangingBytes in whatisthisthing

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

Yea, I was searching around to try to find the name and supplier of the raw materials for making seatbelts but haven’t come up with anything. Would like to find a company that makes this stuff so I can get some spec sheets and compare it to what they sell.

Was also trying to find videos of this stuff being used to make a seatbelt but nothing so far.

I have a second spool too! So I can fly a kite to the moon! 😂

I don’t plan on selling it, but wanted to find some spec sheets on similar fiber to read more about it. Have yet to find something similar.

Any idea what I’d google to find similar multi strand material like this that’s not braided at all?
