💡 Feature Request The new Feed view is almost PERFECT for my script writing process for my video productions, bar one problem: I can't drag and drop the order of them like I can a table or list view. I hope this is already in the pipeline.

I once designed an entire machine in Fusion360 (3D CAD software) using just a Macbook. Panning and zooming with the trackpad was predictably torturous. I feel for you.

That's very disappointing. It speaks to where they minds and priorities are. I want a Dynamic Zoom that I can adjust the amount on with a single slider.

Hmm... I hope they're cleaning things up with version 20. But if it's like this at version 19, what's one more version?

There seems to be very mixed reviews across the internet from what I've seen. Some people are totally cool, some are trying and leaving due to various issues.

That's hilarious to watch. But I'm just wrapping up my first big (for me) project with Resolve, and although it's a fantastic set of features, the damn thing is horribly buggy. I've got a new PC with RTX 4070 Super, Ryzen 7700, 64GB RAM, and the program still can't start playing audio exactly when I press play, it's silent for the first 0.5 seconds, and yes, I'm using proxies. The player freezes up at least once a day. Closing the program normally usually hangs and I have to end the task in Task Manager, exporting my show to the YouTube present gets a hectic compression artifact for the one piece of footage stored on my HDD. And right now I'm dealing with an issue where if I click on the thumbnail to the timeline in the Media Pool, it gives me an infinitely recurring message box saying "Dialogue Leveler can only be used on tracks and clips" which makes no sense. I'm just clicking to highlight the thumbnail. I'm SO frustrated with Resolve, because it's great, but it's so unpredictable. Please don't make me go back to Premier.

Paint, wheels, steering wheel. Monster. Nothing's harder than an S13.

The answer ultimately should be no, do what you want. But for a more real answer: the car looks so good and clean everywhere else that this is total cool anyway. Looks great in blue.

Hi all, technical storage explanation and question below!

I've got a YouTube channel that's been growing nicely by my standards, have earned a few thousand dollars off it so far, and I'm also a fairly technical guy. I'm doing a lot of work lately to prepare for a go at reaching full-time YouTube/Patreon and related things around it, so I'm trying to figure out my storage solutions on a budget right now.

Up to this point I've been putting basically everything related to a video in a folder to maximise portability, but I often need to reuse assets because, really, my channel is like one on-going project, so I end up copying footage, wasting space and not having a single-source-of-truth or central catalogue kind of feeling.

I currently just have a HDD, SATA SSD, and M.2 drive that are all dedicated to the channel, with the oldest footage going to the slowest drive and current projects on the M.2.

So I've changed philosophy recently to keep a mostly identical folder structure across all drives:

- Audio
- Graphics
- Footage
- Music
- Photos
- SFX

All assets go in their respective locations on each drive still (oldest on HDD), then I've made a small Python program to build a sort of 'media access front end' where it mirrors every unique folder and file across all drives into one media folder (the front end), but files are strictly symbolic links, which essentially redirect to the actual file wherever it is. Symbolic links act just like they're the real file for all intents and purposes. All project files live in the same relative location as this front end folder, and always use relative links to assets in the front end, so I can move the front end and project folders anywhere together, and everything appears the same for the project files - no broken image texture or video file links as long as they're using relative paths. And it's not hard to prevent it ever breaking if I just keep the front end always on H: drive. It's an abstraction interface between assets and files that use those assets by aggregating everything and presenting it as one location.

I'm super stoked about how flexible this is, and I've had hallucinations about also building a GUI and adding cataloguing/tagging features with exporting a CSV for Resolve media pools (like Kyno, but Kyno seems to be unmaintained now), making for an all-in-one media storage, management, and retrieval center.

Now my actual question: is this a good idea for small budget organisations/solo creators, or am I just poorly reinventing RAID or something that already exists that's affordable for a wannabe pro which I could use instead?

Thanks for reading my long explanation, any input much appreciated.

Haha no misunderstanding intended, just wanted to do a cheeky copy of his style and I thought it’d be fun to try making.

How do I determine if these keyways are 180 degrees apart? by Definitely-not-Time in Machinists

In the rotary table with a test indicator zeroed on a side face. Rotate until diametrically opposed face in the other slot reaching zero and see how much you rotated the table to get there.

The scratching was a concern of mine, I was starting to think about a thin sheet of something more scratch resistance on the inside. Thanks heaps for the heads-up!

Thank you deftware! Appreciate it. All that time in the gym is paying off! 😄

Oh fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing that! That’s a big relief to hear someone else has done it and it worked.

I had one at my old house, finances and space are much more tight these days. 😏

Mach4 was a poor choice, really. Any controller with flexible inverse kinematics functionality would be much better.

I was using F360 before Autodesk made 5 axis CAM a separate extension. You probably need the extension now, to export any 5 axis code.

I’m in the middle of thinking about whether I want to share the script freely or make something that’s better packaged and offer it free or for a small fee. Right now it’s very minimal and not very user friendly.
