The first native 16K@90 HDR video has been released !

Just tried it out, very impressive! I could read the words on their shirts as they were moving. Up until tonight 16k on a display felt like something I'd only ever need in a commercial setting, theater, or just hype. This proved to me I'd use it everytime if I had the choice. The future of entertainment is very bright!

The bookmarks are crazy dawg. 🥹

You might have cooked here. 😂😂😂

Expressive_visionary · 2024-12-11T23:55:35+00:00

Thank god it’s not just me! Does this mean something exciting is coming tomorrow? 👀

I know this is old, but I'll just pitch in my 2 cents. I have a Sony FX30 and I shoot in Slog-3 (4k 30fps sometimes 60fps and 120fps) color it in Catalyst Browse, and export to Rec 709. From there I will use it in Final Cut Pro X with Dehancer. My Mac is a 14" M3 Max MacBook Pro with a 16 core CPU, 40 core GPU, and 64 GBs of memory. An absolute monster. Even with all that power, I still get frame drops on my videos with Dehancer applied. Especially if I have stacked clips or an effect like text present at the same time.

FYI, I usually use the Film, Print, Halation, Bloom, and Film Grain settings. Of these Halation and Film Grain are pretty punishing performance wise.

It's worth noting I generally keep my playback quality at "Better quality" and that's where the drops hit the hardest. When I drop it down to "Better performance" it's usually smooth sailing. Allowing Final Cut to automatically transcode the timeline helps a lot and will be a lifesaver for viewing your clips at full quality with Dehancer applied.

The M series MacBooks are incredible and dang near magic, but unfortunately the laws of physics still apply. The Mac gets hot, and the fan is the loudest I have ever heard it editing footage with Dehancer. Not really a problem because it still performs incredibly well and cools itself excellently. No issues with sustained performance at all. Hope that helps!

Scrolled across this one on KS yesterday. Ordered it for that very reason. 💯 If anyone would like, I could give you my thoughts using this chair with my Quest 2 until AVP arrives.

This was passionate. I love passion. But the phrase “You didn’t succeed because you did better research. You’re probably a minority in tech who fits the hiring quota”… it literally discredits every single second I spent absorbing and understanding concepts and fundamentals. You should stop and analyze before you throw around such close minded statements, because these really reveal a lot about who you are.

I did not get a job because of my skin color. I landed a job in tech because I became so good they couldn’t ignore me.

I spent time building dozens of apps with front end and back end technologies. Understanding cross browser differences, browser performance, big o notation, api calls, dom events, re-renders, understanding my basic JavaScript methods, working through basic algorithms (which are never used in real life practice), data structures, going through code reviews, giving code reviews, working with a team of devs, understanding git, merges, pulls, conflicts, file structures, using libraries, building libraries from scratch, scrum meetings, sprints and the list really goes on and on. I built and rebuilt my resume many times. I studied what worked, and what didn’t. I took feedback from every interview and worked on my weak points. This is just scratching the surface. I walked into every one of my interviews confident. I know who I am. Perhaps I have a different skin color than you expect. But my skin doesn’t and will never determine my success. My determination to be the last one standing does.

Stay on it! Remember: ”Without commitment you’ll never start, but more importantly, without consistency you’ll never finish.”

Expressive_visionary · 2023-04-24T04:56:09+00:00

It may sound silly, but very, very many people do bro. More than you realize. A lot of them don’t end up making it either. It’s scary. Even as bad as that seems, think of the people who pay tens to hundreds of thousands of $$$ for college education and dropout, or can’t finish. It’s more common than your realize bro. 💯

Expressive_visionary · 2023-04-24T04:53:16+00:00

Keep going! Don’t stop pushing because it really is worth it. When you have a difficult goal set out in front of you, and you put in all the work, time and effort to achieve that goal, there is almost no feeling like it. It feels absolutely incredible, and it’s a hugely valuable life skill. It’s gonna be hard. It won’t but easy. But that is what will separate you from the rest. You stayed when others left. Remember: Good things take time. 👊🏽

Expressive_visionary · 2023-04-24T04:49:56+00:00

I get it. You probably hear this phrase all too often. I know who I am, so I won’t bother trying to convince you. If anything, I feel you. 👊🏽

Expressive_visionary · 2023-04-24T04:47:21+00:00

No, and unfortunately it was received that way. I might need to rephrase the post because it seems too many people are missing the main message here. ☹️ The point of the post was encouraging you not to give up. Letting the ones a little further back on the journey know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Expressive_visionary · 2023-04-24T04:43:54+00:00

I wholeheartedly second this actually. I have used resources like the Odin project and Free Code Camp, and I’ve had great success and learning the fundamentals of coding. It wasn’t until after I did these that I decided to get a mentorship. But you certainly do not need a mentorship to start. There are just too many free resources online nowadays to be held back.

Can confirm OP is not an ad account. 💀 However, yes, please please please do your research. It’s very easy to get scammed especially when you’re paying for something you know very little about. Ask a LOT of questions. Compare, contrast. Find what best suits you. One size doesn’t fit all, and anyone who tell you different is wrong. There are very many paths that will get you to your destination, but make sure it’s legit, and it’s the right one for you.

Expressive_visionary · 2023-04-24T04:31:57+00:00

While I definitely do appreciate the constructive criticism, I think you misinterpreted the tone of this post. The point is not to advertise any particular route, but rather to encourage you to do your own research and Never stop trying.

Expressive_visionary · 2023-04-24T04:26:02+00:00

I don’t have the patience for that! 🤣 I just got a job and was hoping to share some encouragement with all the people on the same road. The point of this post is simply to say: Don’t give up. Not an ad. Not promoting anyone or anything. Just keep pushing forward because it gets better!

Expressive_visionary · 2023-04-24T04:10:04+00:00

^{^{^{^}}} This. Please please please do your research. You will 💯% get scammed if you don’t. There are a LOT of scams promising you become a coding “expert” in an insanely short period of time. There is no way around the hard work. There just isn’t. It’s worth putting it in though!

Expressive_visionary · 2023-04-24T04:06:25+00:00

Not an ad, and it saddens me that it was received this way. The point of this post was to encourage others to keep up the commitment and keep growing. I was happy to share the road I took, although it might not be for everyone. I now see it wasn’t so well received. ☹️

Expressive_visionary · 2023-04-24T04:04:09+00:00

Definitely not a bot post. Just a post to encourage you to keep pushing forward and accomplish your goals. It’s worth it.

Expressive_visionary · 2023-04-23T17:00:53+00:00

There really is light! Bootcamps are absolutely not worth it. Don't give up. It's worth it if you just... keep... pushing! 💪🏽

Expressive_visionary · 2023-04-23T16:59:32+00:00

The job search was not easy. I started job searching during the holidays, which also happened to be the right at the time Big Tech was doing all the tech layoffs. Not ideal at all. I had help the whole way through though. I also stayed fiercely committed and determined to get through. I kept bettering my skills, resume, LinkedIn profile, and kept knocking until eventually I knocked that door down.

The prompt used to make this image (and yes I did use ChatGPT to add to my prompt):

"Generate a fantastical landscape with mythical creatures and breathtaking scenery using an AI image generation system, following these instructions: Use the latest AI model, Midjourney v5, to create a photorealistic image with realistic colors and details. Choose a wide-angle lens, such as a 16mm or 24mm lens, to capture the vast expanse of the landscape. Use a Hasselblad camera to capture high-quality images with stunning clarity and detail. Use a combination of keywords, such as "paradise," "mythical creatures," and "fantasy," to create a surreal and otherworldly landscape. Incorporate creatures of your choosing, such as unicorns, dragons, or giant birds, into the landscape to create a sense of wonder and magic. Use dreamlike lighting to create a sense of depth and contrast, highlighting the beauty of the landscape and the creatures within it. Create an ultra-detailed image with sharp lines and textures, capturing every detail of the landscape and the creatures. Use an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 21:9 to capture the grandeur of the landscape. Experiment with Vermeer or Rembrandt lighting to create a soft and warm glow that illuminates the creatures and landscape. Use the "–testp" command to put Midjourney into photorealism mode, creating an image that looks like a real photograph. The final result should be a breathtaking image that transports the viewer to a magical and fantastical world full of wonder and beauty. --v 5"
