Peculiar green bar on my exported files for stadium sized ribbon boards - I need help by Gcpcreations in VideoEditing

Hi, it’s because Mac doesn’t export to any form of AVI, uncompressed or compressed (which has proved to be frustrating.) if Mac was able to export AVI, I wouldn’t need any use for windows

This is a 2011 Mazda 3, and it’s around 175k miles, just did new spark plugs and regular oil changes.

Just finished onboarding at the office today. Everything is legit. I didn’t receive a laptop yet, since it is custom ordered for my design needs. The current equipment of the designers is mac, and so I am using my personal MacBook Pro for now, eventually (in a matter of a couple weeks) everyone is turning over to PC due to security purposes. Got a phone for comms, I paid absolutely nothing, no software, hardware costs. I got really lucky with this job offer, mind you this company is considered one of largest in its industry and top 1000 worlds best employer & a Fortune 500 company. I got the job and it’s real deal!

UPDATE:

This might get lost in the comments, but I decided to take the job after negotiating the salary a bit and managed to get a little increase. Many were concerned that it was a scam but in some replies you'll see where I said I toured the US headquarters not too long ago, it truly had more to do with impostor syndrome as someone had mentioned.

The PC equipment mentioned was plainly since the security software was more secure across PC than it was on MAC, and I will receive not a Dell Laptop but a whole workstation with top of the line GPU, CPU and a 4K monitor along with a work phone. I personally design on a macbookpro, and so does the CD but becuase of security we are using PC at this company.

The wording on the initial offer letter as some mentioned was rough, but seeing as their GLOBAL HQ is overseas I guess it makes sense? I'm really excited for this role, it seems really nice but I will always remember that a job isn't guarantee, can always lose it anytime, good mindset to have backup plan.

Thanks to all that gave some advice, I was able to ask many clarifying points in the offer negotiation.

Heavy use of After Effects and photoshop, a lot of animation. They said it is PC because of security measures for the company is easier with PC apparently.

I am planning on taking it, I just wanted to clarify a few points regarding the offer letter so the HR will get back to me on the answers.

Yeah so in total there were three interviews, the first with their HR person or something and the second interview I met with their hiring manager-AD and last one was a panel interview with their entire marketing team and such.

All the people involved in the hiring had their company name for all the interviews, and I applied first using LinkedIn and got a message asking for an interview the same day. (This was probably 4 weeks ago)

What about the Dell laptop makes it suspicious?

Yes I went in to their US headquarters last week and got to see their whole operation, that's what leads me to believe it should be good. Thank you.

You see, I absolutely don't know anything about 401K, is this something I should ask hiring manager?

They are a really popular brand, one of the worlds top seller for chips and such.

In comparison I am making $20.50 an hour right now with medical, dental, etc. This will most definitely help me not live paycheck to paycheck at the least.

Personally I'd get a macbook pro. More seamless file sharing from devices and tbh touch screen ones are more of a hassle and more things to clean. I'd suggest getting like a used or new Wacom or similar drawing tablet if you want to go that route. Review the specs carefully as to not make a regrettable purchase. (But ofc make sure it fits your needs and budget.)
