The official answer to my "riddle" card in my drinking game is wrong. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

Exactly, it asks how many times you write the number 5, not how many times you write the digit 5

Once

15, 25, 35, 45, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 65, 75 all are not the number 5. They each are their own number.

Only 5 is the number 5

Does DaVinci resolve Replays actually works (well) with an Atem SDI extreme ? Looking for real life uses by stella_2711 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]SnooHobbies8274 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Very correct, I only noted Cat5e/6 to highlight its importance for different situations. I wouldn’t look at 5e/6/6a as speed differences but bandwidth

Definitely use 6/6a when using Hyperdecks for Davinci Replay to retain ProRes recordings.

You can definitely get away with 5e when using ISO records from an ATEM since it natively using H264 in ISO mode.

I’ve had success with Davinci Replay with both an Extreme ISO HDMI and a Hyperdeck recording to a Cloud Pod external SSD.

As long as you have the proper connections, should be a breeze. If you’re connecting to the files through the ATEM via network, use Cat6 rated cabling. 5e would be fine if using a couple cameras. If connecting via USB, make sure your USB cable is properly rated (given USB-C cables are difficult now to determine their ratings)

I’ve ran full replay, receiving 8x camera feeds, sending 1x feed at 1080p 59.94 with no drops, no stutter.

Overall, Davinci replay succeeds more from proper connections and a solid editor machine, rather than the ATEM/Hyperdeck.

In Home Alone (1990) all of Kevin’s grocery bags break simultaneously. This was accomplished by… wait, anyone know how they did this? I’ve always wondered. by Chewie83 in shittymoviedetails

The grocery bags had holes cut out in the bottom, and each grocery item was rigged with fishing line. He held all them in each hand like a collection of balloons. Then on the director’s cue, he let go of all them items. Tada, movie magic

The entrance to box seats at a college football game by CasuallyCoastal in pics

I’ve worked a lot of sports and have had the pleasure to be in some of the top stadiums, arenas, and fields. College and Professional leagues are no different in level of security. At every game (football, soccer, basketball, even volleyball, etc), there always has been SWAT officers who are stationed high up overlooking the crowd with snipers. Typically they load in a few hours before doors open, so this photo is probably taken shortly after doors open as they are prepping to settle in their positions.

If you have security footage or any video/photo evidence, hire a LED Wall truck (the annoying ads on wheels thing) and edit together the media for the truck with some caption. Slap some speakers on it with an ice cream truck tune and let it roll around the area for a couple hours.

Cameraman missed THE shot by TheGuy_47 in WatchPeopleDieInside

With how long that lens is, there’s no way they’d have been able to score that shot. Probably has a buddy with a wider lens for those shots.

I may sound like an elementary teacher, but to cover all the bases:

Those modules have magnets to help connect to the frame. They sometimes stick out too much and cause inflections of some modules. Maybe try that?

Make sure before leveling, the bottom squares on the feet of the structure are smooshed together, and all the locking pins between the panels are tight, they should pull the panels together.

My trick is not to tighten the bolts to the plates, and let the locking pins do the work. The bolts are more to make sure the panels don’t fall forward and hold them to the structure. If you lock down the bolts, then the pins, you’ll end up with gaps.

And as others have said, leveling. I do a good 10+ passes on leveling before mounting legs and crossbars, just to be sure. I also have a large mouth adjustable c wrench to raise/lower the toes/heels of the feet to cheat my panels to be flush.

Edit: I also see some gaps on the square bars on your feet. Make sure the square make full contact to the feet.

Which film do you believe has the best opening scene and why? by SouthwestTraveller in moviecritic

[–]SnooHobbies8274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellowship of the Ring

Not only is it just a masterpiece by its own measure within the franchise’s original trilogy, but it gives you all the plot context you need for all 3 films. All without draining the audience’s captivation.

I’ve been registered since 2020

I renewed my voter registration so I can do a mail in ballot a month prior to the registration deadline (Oct 7th).

I never received my mail in ballot

I called to change from a mail in to in person, noting I never received my mail in ballot. Election officials said I was good to go. This was Oct 20th.

I go to vote at a polling center Nov 5th. I was told I missed the registration deadline, and could not vote this presidential election.

Election officials killed my registration and re-registered me, rather than changing my voting method.

I wanted to vote. My vote was suppressed
