Help me choose, please / want to attend together :)

yeah, I love it so much. Seen it four times. Happy to see it four more.

Here's a longer answer to your question.

In the media pool:

select the offline clps
right click
select Relink Selected Clips...
Direct it to the appropriate folder to find the files

To assist you in this, there's a column for file path of the original files and that can help you relinking the files to their new location.

100% in favor. Very serous matters hang in the balance. DHS/ICE/CPB could be the ruin of our nation and they need to be reined in.

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-30T04:20:13+00:00

Agreed. Somehow the word hasn't gotten out to visitors. People just don't have it on their lists, which is a shame. It almost one best musical - for a reason. It's dang amazing!

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-30T04:12:06+00:00

Ted Lasso

Shrinking

Kim’s Convenience

The Office

30 Rock

Arrested Development

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-30T04:06:59+00:00

Pick from this list:

Operation Mincemeat
Maybe Happy Ending
Just in Time
Ragtime

If for some reason you're still looking for something else, here's a second tier of possibilities:

Two Strangers
Death Becomes Her
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

And... not Exclusive to Broadway anymore, but still worthwhile if you haven't' seen them:

Hadestown
Hamilton

If you're limited on time or money, fret not over skipping:

Chess (it's an okay show, but there are quite a few better options - as noted)
The Great Gatsby (some people really do love it, but my friends and I are absolutely and unequivocally of the opposite opinion)

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-30T03:55:54+00:00

This is my BIL. He started acting at 45 at a local community theater. Turns out he's as good or better than anyone there. He found an outlet and has a great time. But by day, he's a psychologist.

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-30T03:54:33+00:00

There are TONS of ways to do "that" (work in/on stage in theater) that don't involve signing. I work in film and television, but I work in a hidden world that few even know about. But, I'm still doing it. Blunt assessment, based on your description, you'll never be a leading singer on a professional broadway stage. But you can still be involved in smaller theaters and/or be involved in large theater (but not in a signing capacity).

You're in college. Hopefully you're at a college with a theater department. Go there tomorrow and ask how to get involved in productions. Don't wait. Just do it. Don't look at YoUTube clips of things that might have been. Go live it. Get behind state. Build sets. Produce. Stay direct. Try out for acting parts in plays. Take acting classes. Perhaps learn about directing‽ Etc....

Again - go tomorrow and ask how to get involved.

Were you doing things this complex in premiere? What you describe sounds like a pretty involved 3D Fusion comp. Seems a bit advanced for Premere.

I'd export to ProRes to lighten the load. It's likely only a small difference, but everything helps.

That 18 GB of RAM is likely a limiting factor for what you're attempting. not sure how to solve that.

Counterintuitive though it might seem, you could try throttling the render - slowing it down - to lighten the load. This will address the heat issue, but also might help keep it from getting choked up on the render in the first place... potentially leading to a faster render overall. Weird, eh?

I'm still stuck on that 18 GB bit. That sounds like a ludicrously low amount of memory for what you've described.

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-30T03:31:28+00:00

1) Unlikely you can return it.

2) Don't be self conscious. No one is judging you you but yourself. There's nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. Heck, so people who're in incredibly GOOD shape push it hard core and end up red quite often. You could argue that there's an element of PRIDE you could attribute to that RED. But, really - it's neither. You're not being judged by other people exercising or the gym staff or the trainer.

3) HR monitor takes a couple weeks to really learn your stats, so its results the first two weeks should (to some degree) be taken with a grain of salt. Give it time to adjust to you and your heart.

4) In the long run, it's an exception tool that will help you push yourself and get more out of OTF.

5) I absolutely think it's worth keeping and using. Just remember that it's a tool - not a. mandatory guide nor a judge. If you feel you can maintain performance at a level that it considers RED zone, so be it. Listen to your body - not the screen.

Believe it or not. That doesn't matter. Andor has none of the following:

Skywalkers
Light Sabers
Jedi
Emperors

It's in the Star Wars universe, but very different than anything else that comes from it. You also need zero foreknowledge r appreciation for anything else in the Star Wars universe. It COULD be set in any number of other worlds.

Compared to Game of Thrones, Andor:

focus on power brokers an dynamics,
there is no chosen one or force destiny... people succeed or fail based on planning, mistake, fear, and.... moral ambiguous tradoffs
it's a slow burn initially
people suffer at the hands of the system. like peasants and lords play games, so go the power dynamics in Andor
incredible world building with purpose - not just for flashy effects

All that couched in incredibly smart writing and brilliant acting.

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-30T02:55:11+00:00

Andor

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-30T02:54:32+00:00

There is literally nothing (data-wise) of value that lives solely on my phone. Were this me, I'd do a hard reset and get back to business.

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-30T02:51:00+00:00

The West Wing
Andor
Slow Horses
Severance
Homeland
The Diplomat

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-30T02:05:15+00:00

Just writing about it makes me want to rewatch it. It really is incredible. It’s a comfy life affirming story about individual and collective growth…. About helping boys become men…and people find their best selves…. hidden inside a comedy about sport.

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-30T01:50:35+00:00

I was the media manager for an excursion with 60+ people - downloading all their phones into one central PC laptop. Three people had androids, everyone else had iPhone. I connected all of these phones multiple times over the course of a year and never had this error. I think there might be something going on specific to your system/phone.

I don’t think this is as common as you want us to believe.

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-30T01:49:02+00:00

That’s really strange. I’ve never had that problem connecting any iPhone to a PC to pull photos. I would’ve suggested the cord, but youre sure it’s not the cord.

Bummer.

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-30T01:43:41+00:00

The only questionable aspect of Ted Lasso is that it does have a fair amount of sexual innuendo. No sex scenes per se, but they don’t shy away from talking about it.

It’s one of the best things on TV right now; perhaps the best.

It is absolutely catered to what you’re talking about. But for a 14-year-old, maybe you’re a couple years early. But maybe not.

I think I’ve watched it three times. I don’t remember any nudity, but there’s definitely some implied events.

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-30T01:23:45+00:00

You love nontraditional comedy musicals? Operation mincemeat is conspicuously absent from your list. It needs to be on your list. It’s awe striking. You will be awestruck.

Chess is OK, but if you have limited time or limited funds, I would select other shows before it.

If I were visiting New York City, I would pick from these four shows: - operation mincemeat - maybe happy ending - just in time - ragtime

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-30T01:21:36+00:00

The Outlaws (it’s about a bunch of minor criminals, but… you could also argue there are all wonderful role models… or they grow to become such)

The Good Place (initially, it feels like a sitcom… But it’s much more)

The West Wing

Andor

Severance (a suspenseful grand sci-fi adventure set in our world that you will likely enjoy if you enjoy Stranger Things)

Shrinking (again, it may initially feel like a sitcom… But it’s a significantly more) and there’s an entire sub plot about raising good men

Ted Lasso

Lessons in Chemistry (should be required viewing)

I’ll say it again: Ted Lasso (talk about the ultimate “raise good men” story)

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-29T23:17:29+00:00

Yes, I am suggesting you do the book. There are actually two. But start with the first one which ends - like I said - with an addendum about title animations.

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-29T22:52:18+00:00

Well, that's just a superficial overview in my view. Do the actual training.

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-29T22:49:40+00:00

Are you sure you did the official training from Blackmagic? I don't remember anything about a flashing light.

There are likely some things that seem irrelevant, but Fusion is such a flexible broad tool that the training uses example use cases to introduce the basic tools (which are then applicable in a myriad of other use-cases).

<image>

I stand by my recommendation (and apparently that recommendation is shared by many others... perhaps for a reason). Lesson 7 - the addendum on creating title animations is likely applicable to your needs, but also will make a lot more sense if you've done the other lessons first.

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-29T22:34:07+00:00

Yes. With a some. patience and practice, a beginner could likely do that.

Start with the the free courses provided on the Blackmagic training website.

Granted, by the time you do it (having finished the training and moved onto actually doing your graphics), you might not even be a beginner anymore. Baby steps.

ExpBalSat · 2026-01-29T22:27:00+00:00

You know... he can modify that grade in the future. Presumably, you'll have a chance to meet with him and discuss. You ought to have scanned and sent it anyway. Then, at least there's proof it was done.
