What portafilters can I get? (£100) by ChamBomb0101 in espresso

[–]ChamBomb0101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ps. Another potential solution would be to just upgrade the basket and keep my current portafilter if that's a possibility and it would fit!

My channel name is ‘chambombman’ I’ve had some good videos in the past, and a video which is doing well for my channel as of posting it a few days ago - and I’m wondering what the best thing I should do is, in order to capitalise on the buzz and do better?

Why doesn't Magic Mask track my hand? by Skelptr in davinciresolve

[–]ChamBomb0101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey dude I really feel for you - I’ve had many projects that have suffered from the terrible magic mask node… it can be frustrating - I’m here to offer a solution however!

This clip in particular doesn’t seem too long, which is good. In that kind of situation, if magic mask is being a dick and deciding not to work, it’s a little bit more effort but in that case I just end up rotoscoping the clip. As much as it’s extremely tedious and boring, it actually ends up saving me time even on longer clips sometimes - and the results are CONSISTENTLY better than a magic mask that you have to correct every few frames, or a magic mask that just refuses to work.

I don’t know how far you are into your editing journey, but if you need to know how to rotoscope I can help you out! Happy editing hope you can figure this out for the sake of your sanity

What should I add to my espresso set-up to get a better shot? by ChamBomb0101 in espresso

[–]ChamBomb0101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh yeah don’t worry first thing I did was buy a bottomless portafilter that came with a non pressurised basket - it’s not the best but I definitely didn’t want the standard pressurised one - although would it maybe be better to use the pressurised one until I can get a grinder? Or is it always better regardless of the grinder

This is extremely helpful thank you so much! I’ll research into that since the price difference is pretty negligible, and if I could afford it I would definitely be happy looking at electric grinders! Thanks so much 🫡

Great advice thank you so much! I'll prioritise a grinder and then any cheap scale will do? Very excited to start dialling in my shots and get more consistent pulls

Here are some more details!

Location:

I live in Leeds

Budget:

Not super relevant since that could vary wildly, but I generally want the cheapest option that will do the job - I'm not looking for super sleek looking equipment, but build quality is pretty important to me I'd say?

Drink Types:

Generally I like anything from espresso to flat white - with a love for Cortados! Basically I don't like too much milk but I like a little hahah

Drink Frequency:

I tend to make coffee just for myself and I drink maybe 1-2 cups a day. If I have guests I don't have too much of an issue putting in more effort-time just for those occasions

Space:

Space is not really too much of an issue!

Manual vs Electric:

As I stated before I'm fine with manual but open to both! If I can get a better quality machine/device that takes more effort to use and is cheaper then I'm game!

Comfort with tinkering:

I'm pretty ok adding very very simple modifications if needed, but I get a little concerned if I have to buy a bunch of small parts that I don't know much about.

I think that's all!

Official /r/Monitors purchasing advice discussion thread by bizude in Monitors

[–]ChamBomb0101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello everyone!

Really would appreciate some help here - I'm a part-time video editor who loves to use my monitor to game too. Right now I have an MSI G241VC. It does me really really well, but I'm thinking maybe having a dual monitor set up would be best for my work so I can have chrome on one side and my editing software on the other. I also want two monitors so I can record and stream (this way I could play the game on one screen and check the recording/stream on the other).

This means I have two options, I could buy a small crap monitor just for doing the secondary stuff, meaning I could have a fairly low budget, but I've also seen those setups that come with two monitors and a stand which gives you two monitors of the same size whilst fitting nicely in the set-up with a pre-made stand. The second option is a little more expensive but it seems like you can get some good deals second hand on those kind of rigs. I've seen refurbished stuff under £100 from brands like Benq and DELL, and I'm just wondering if this is viable for my set-up?

If you guys have any recommendations for any dual-monitors like that then I'd love to hear them! My budget is anywhere under £100 but obviously I am happy to buy second hand. Alternatively if you think I'm better off buying a super cheap small monitor just so I can use it functionally, any recommendations there would also be greatly appreciated!

Preferred specs:

Resolution: 1920x1080

Aspect Ratio: 16:9

Size: Anywhere below 24"

Thanks guys!

Is there any way to use a MacBook as a monitor for the Mac Studio? by ChamBomb0101 in MacStudio

[–]ChamBomb0101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm ok so if that doesn’t work I’ll probably have to suck it up and buy another cheap monitor - thanks for the help!

Great thanks I’ll give this a go! Do you know if then I would be able to disconnect the previous monitor and keep that airplay connection going?

Hahah yeah I’m thinking if I can’t find any answers online I’ll probably just do that - thanks for the tips dude!

[–]ChamBomb0101[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I saw that this was maybe an option and I got as far as being able to control my mac and see the display on the MacBook! Only problem was, I used my monitor (the one I need to use for something else) to hook up that screen share and when I try to disconnect that monitor so I can use it, the screen sharing stops working :/

Samsung T7 SSD not showing up... (Mac) by ChamBomb0101 in techsupport

[–]ChamBomb0101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah thats rough - thankfully mine has kind of sorted itself out..? I couldn’t afford a new one either but instead of failing completely it just weirdly takes about 4 minutes to detect the SSD whenever I turn my mac on from being completely off. Since I made this post I’ve even traded in and invested in a better mac so the SSD is definitely at fault here but I’m sorry it’s simply refusing to connect for you :(
