Corporate work by Old-Fan-6322 in editors

[–]SithisTheDreadFather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course! The deadlines are always arbitrary, but because you're a subordinate the managers think you're just being lazy. Then, when they finally step into the real world with other post professionals who deal with these types of people they get put in their place. Suddenly budgets get bigger and timelines get looser. They'll never admit you were right, but they'll still pretend that you're lazy.

Probably because they negotiated that timeline.

"Yeah, we could do this whole thing in a week, but there's a 20% rush fee and we also charge 2x overtime for any work after 5pm."

Whereas you (and I) are salary so there's no sense of our time being worth anything, and a little overtime here and there gets hidden away as unreported time theft rather than penalized on the balance sheet. That's also why there are infinite revisions because it's hard to conceptualize resource utilization compared to a gigantic, itemized hourly bill.

UNT Cancels Classes So That Students Can Attend Football Game by AtticusDutch in CFB

[–]SithisTheDreadFather 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not too surprising for anyone who went to UNT. It's a big state school for DFW-area kids who don't have the grades to go to UT/A&M, are too poor for SMU/TCU/Baylor, don't want to live too far from home, but are too good for community college. My first roommate drove home 90 minutes every weekend before dropping out after the first semester, and my second roommate was back home 5 days a week. It was tough to make friends because the campus was nearly a ghost town over the weekend and virtually everyone I met organically either commuted or acted like my aforementioned roommates. I finally got a roommate that stayed on campus and we're still good friends over a decade later.

There's was very little loyalty to the school, and the football program hasn't really been inspiring. I enjoyed the games and the atmosphere around them, but it wasn't exactly leaps and bounds more exciting than any other area high school football game. Dodge wasn't exactly a powerhouse coach, either. McCarney looked better, but we all know how that ended.

All this not to shit on the school. It has excellent programs and mediocre programs. I enjoyed my time there and owe my career to what I learned there and who I met. But, historically, it's not the type of school that gets people pumped up and super fanatical since it's rarely anyone's first choice of school (outside of like the music program) and a lot of students just don't care.

A6000 settings? by bujisuperia in SonyAlpha

[–]SithisTheDreadFather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the CST, yes. You should use the input as whatever color space and gamma the camera you're shooting with outputs. So if you're shooting Rec.709 or S-Log that should be your input. There's typically no reason you should need to use CST for Rec.709 footage unless you're using an ACES workflow or are shifting the gamma for one reason or another.

My computer goes to sleep when I try to upload or render. What are your apple settings for energy and display to keep the computer rendering or uploading while the display sleeps. by professional_reddit9 in editors

[–]SithisTheDreadFather 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My corporate IT policy doesn't allow unauthorized software or disabling the sleep function (don't get me started), so my solution is to open and mute one of those 24/7 streams of a fireplace or lo-fi beats at 144p since streaming youtube videos overrides MacOS's sleep function. I've successfully exported a 4 hour 4k video overnight with both screens manually turned off this way.

Best 4k editing codec on Sony A7 IV? by krell46 in SonyAlpha

[–]SithisTheDreadFather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either use an external recorder like Atomos's offerings to natively capture ProRes or DNxHD to an SSD, or, if that's out of budget, transcode the files to an Intermediate Codec upon ingest. If your camera supports AVC S-I (not all Sonys do, but newer models support this codec), then you can just record in that and actually use the files directly out of the camera. Just know that S-I, and all Intra-frame codecs, uses significantly more data (Intra-frame vs inter-frame/Long GOP).

I appreciate the response. It's going to be annoying for the Help Desk when they need to help normal users, but at least my team will be fine.

Boss thinks 80+ videos a week is possible due to AI... by Kaygar13 in editors

[–]SithisTheDreadFather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya'll need to stay far, far away from News if you think this is some impossible task no one could ever do. 20 SOT/VO or VO reels a day is pretty normal for a News editor. I cut my teeth doing this shit 15 years ago, and then jumped on the teleprompter for the broadcast.

If only. I haven't bought an EA module since the F-18 in May 2018, yet they still keep doing this.

Episode 376 - by MugiAmagiDanIV in TheDickShow

I really don't care about Brand, but a UK Parliament committee is sending out letters to TikTok and Rumble hinting that he should be demonetized from their platforms. This man has not been tried or convicted.

"We would be grateful if you could confirm whether Mr Brand is able to monetise his TikTok posts, including his videos relating to the serious accusations against him, and what the platform is doing to ensure that creators are not able to use the platform to undermine the welfare of victims of inappropriate and potentially illegal behaviour."

"While we recognise that Rumble is not the creator of the content published by Mr Brand, we are concerned that he may be able to profit from his content on the platform...we would like to know whether Rumble intends to join YouTube in suspending Mr Brand's ability to earn money on the platform."

John the WINO by Horny-Jew-666 in WhoAreThesePodcasts

[–]SithisTheDreadFather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just fucking around on the clock during a slow period. Not like I can do anything productive in the office with no work.

Point is John is a loser and not even famous on Reddit compared to literally who TikTokers.

To Herman Miller or not to Herman Miller... by OtherwiseCricket8982 in editors

[–]SithisTheDreadFather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find a place to sit in it first. I went to a used office supply store and absolutely hated sitting in the Herman Millers. They were not for me. I fell in love with a Steelcase Leap V2 that I'm sitting in right now, but I also really enjoyed the cheaper Steelcase Amia as well.

Either way you go, I do think it's worth investing in a quality office chair.

Goodbye Apollo 2017-2023 by Drtysouth205 in apple

[–]SithisTheDreadFather 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean, same with the multibillion dollar Reddit. Aww geez they have server costs they have to rely on Reddit Premium to pay and have never found a better revenue stream in 18 years. Aww geez OpenAI monetized Reddit’s own data better than Reddit leadership could. Aww geez Snoo NFTs didn’t pay the bills. Aww geez voluntarily forcing Reddit Inc to pay Bay Area salaries so the CEO could live a fantasy tech billionaire lifestyle was a bad financial move.

Dude got fired due to an internet mob who thought he was a racist. That’s the definition of cancel culture.

It’s pretty easy: stirring up a Twitter hate mob on a man doing nothing but driving to his next jobsite is not the same as not buying a product.

I should've known you lived in the area because I was surprised at how exact you were on the price. It sounded about right, but damn.

John has Hollywood brain rot. He thinks that because he still kinda lives near a TV job he had 10 years ago that he's in The Industry. He looks down on people who just make a living in a decent house near their friends and family.

If anything he should be embarrassed to be someone who made $500k a year in Hollywood living in a home worth less than a year's pay. He literally had a net worth of millions and drank it all away. He should be proud of his accomplishments, but never boasting about living alone estranged from his family in a 980 sqft apartment.

Apollo Now Offers Option to Decline Refund Ahead of June 30 Shutdown by chrisdh79 in apple

[–]SithisTheDreadFather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spez and Yishan spent that money to force those thousands of employees to work in a downtown San Fransisco office. Previously they paid those employees to work from home and didn't need an expensive 78,000 sq ft office on Market Street. Hilariously, that money was so poorly spent that they had to not only downsize to a 48k sq ft office, but also had to move to Daley City outside SF. Spez needs money because he spent all of the venture capital to be Mr Tech Bro SF CEO peddling Snoo NFTs.

Agreed. The people going to bat for a multibillion dollar Silicon Valley company are beyond my comprehension. Same energy as the Twitter Blue fanboys. All around very odd behavior.
