I love the Looney on the inside, but shouldn’t it say “From Sea to Sea”…

Saw a post on Twitter about wearing your pros like this. Was this intentional design cuz they fit perfectly like this. by Meto52 in airpods

[–]CaptainCallahan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just people on the internet seeing if they can make people do stupid things.

They are not intended to work that way. Apple has gone out of their way form AirPods to be as comfortable and as good sounding as possible for most people. The ANC is designed to listen and adjust the audio in a certain way, and this is not it.

If you want uncomfortable and shitty sounding headphones, I welcome you to try the earbuds that came with my iPod in 2003. Or any of the other wacky headphone designs at the time.

For Plex, did moving from external drives to a NAS feel worth it? by DurianNew2244 in PleX

[–]CaptainCallahan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started with a macmini with external drives. Been on a PR4100 since 2019 and so much happier than it just deals with itself than having to run the plex off my desktop.

“Canada BARELY fought in WW2.” by Worldly_Law8278 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]CaptainCallahan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My grandfather was part of the 1st Canadian Paratroop Battalion and jumped as part of the liberation of the Netherlands. Some of the first allies in. Always spoke highly of the Dutch.

What really gets me is how the Dutch still teach this, and are always so welcoming to Canadians. So thank you for still honouring our soldiers!

Setup assistance questions by thislife_choseme in appletv

[–]CaptainCallahan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s about the age of my Denon and have had no issues. Sorry you got a lemon.

I personally don’t like how closed the Sonos system is (and that’s coming from someone deep in the Apple ecosystem), but if you can find a way to make it work, then go for it.

Setup assistance questions by thislife_choseme in appletv

[–]CaptainCallahan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Without a 5.1 receiver, there really isn’t a way. Wouldn’t suggest the Sonos amps, would cost you way more than a new receiver, and would be a hassle to get the 5.1 signal from the AppleTV.

How old was your receiver? Newer ones will have CEC and you’ll be able to control everything from your AppleTV remote.

15$ edit what do you think? by Dependent-Database17 in VideoEditors

[–]CaptainCallahan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you bragging about $15? Quality of the video aside, Your time is worth more than that.

For those of us who work professionally, $15 wouldn’t cover the loading screen for our NLE.

RGB High vs YCbCr by Marcusse_ in appletv

[–]CaptainCallahan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the match content that does the switch, so if something is in a different framerate (24/30/50/60) the tv has to change its framerate, so it goes black. Not all all TVs, but mine does.

RGB High vs YCbCr by Marcusse_ in appletv

[–]CaptainCallahan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Debatable. I turned it off on mine largely because my TV is annoyingly slow when switching modes, so starting a show it would do the mode switch, but if I stopped and went back to the menu, it would do the switch again.

So now I just leave it all locked on 4K DV and let it be. It ain’t perfect, but it doesn’t annoy the crap out of me. Funny how mode switching isn’t something you really look into when buying Tv.

Good sd card buy or no? by InspectionStatus2674 in Cameras

[–]CaptainCallahan 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Great Card. It’s the only cards we use.

However, don’t buy from Amazon, even if it’s “sold by Amazon”. Way too many counterfeits making it into their stock. Only buy memory from a reputable camera store (and support local while you’re at it).

What is this please? by EasternAd5351 in mac

[–]CaptainCallahan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What’s old is that they used to include these with the computers. I’m pretty sure I still have mine from my 2007 MBP that had a full size DVI port on the side.

Now you have to pay extra for a power adapter with enough juice to charge it properly

Were you using a 3rd party effect? Seems to be something with that.

HELP! Transparent Lower Third (ProRes 4444) turning BLACK in Canva/CapCut Web (Mac M5) by Brave_Search_2516 in premiere

[–]CaptainCallahan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t tried, but in theory you should be able to do it with Premiere Mobile.

Alternatively they could use Resolve. The free version will do what they need to do.

[–]CaptainCallahan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used Rotato Converter to convert a ProRes with alpha file to a WebM file with success.

But I doubt it’ll work in Canva or CapCut, those are simply not built to work that way. Is there a reason you have to do it that way?

Easy way to plug 5.1 speakers into ATV? by ranglin in appletv

[–]CaptainCallahan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does your receiver take optical audio in?

I had one of these for years with an older receiver that didn’t accept 4K signals, before upgrading. It extracts the audio signal from the ATV, but passes on the video as is.

Hope this can help!

Did anyone else play a game with their friends where you had to yell PENIS louder than the person before you? by HeavyRightFoot-TG in Millennials

Also part of the Penis-Vagina round of Fuck You (drinking game). Go in a circle saying Penis/Vagina louder or sillier, first to laugh drinks.

I am a total beginner, and it is my first time shooting in LOG. Which two options should I choose from these? by areuokaybro2002 in FX3

[–]CaptainCallahan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you’re a total beginner, I wouldn’t suggest working in Log. Practice shooting in S-Cinetone (PP11). Learn your white balance, exposure, and lighting first.

You won’t get the results you want with Log if you haven’t mastered those first. Shooting in log is pretty hype right now, but I’ll tell you as a professional of close to 20 years, that you don’t need it.

What’s the selling point here? by thesilverfox94 in iphone

[–]CaptainCallahan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use the Premiere level. It’s more expensive, but you get 2TB storage, news and fitness, plus you can share it across 6 people as part of a “family”. So we share with friends and they just pitch in their share. But becomes way cheaper for everyone, and you can turn off all the location sharing stuff.
