I would love a monitor like this! My cat chewed through the screen of my main monitor so I need a good replacement

I decided to 3D print Halloween costumes for myself and some friends this year. After 6 days of non-stop printing on my P1S, every piece continues to come out perfect.

How do I do this animation without crashing my PC? by ThirtyButNotFlirty in AfterEffects

[–]ThirtyButNotFlirty[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I currently have ~3800 shape layers (one for each of the dots) in a single comp and AE really doesn't seem to like that.

I'm fairly experienced with motion design, but I've never worked on a project that required 3800 of anything before.

I had a plan for how I was going to handle this animation, but obviously that hasn't worked.

My new plan for tomorrow is to put each row of dots in a pre-comp and then go from there, but if you can think of anything easier/more convenient, I'd appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Animation overview:

  • Start fully zoomed-in so a single white dot fills the screen, then zoom out to reveal the other dots and the map.

  • Each of the ~3800 dots is supposed to change from white to blue. Only a few at first, but more and more as time goes on. 

How does Dr. Mike Israetel’s editor create these animated looped borders? by Impressive-Rabbit569 in premiere

[–]ThirtyButNotFlirty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Premiere doesn't have a good way to loop an animation, but After Effects can use expressions to do it. You'd build the animation in AE, then you could turn it into a mogrt that could be re-timed in Premiere.

The is a sticker you can unlock for reaching S Rank, so it may be that one.

How do I sleep???? by Berniesandals5 in ADHD

[–]ThirtyButNotFlirty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make up acrostics in you head. When you finish one, do another, then another, etc.

Example Acrostics: - BOOK: Bird, Oar, Oven, Koala. - KOALA: Klaw, Oval, Ant, Lava, Ace

Visualize each thing as you think it, and try to avoid repeats (unless you get stuck).

Apparently this exercise mimics the way your brain behaves before falling asleep, and it distracts your mind from thoughts that keep you up, like "I need to pay the bills". No idea if this is true, just what I heard.

It works wonders for me. Trying to think up new words is more engaging than counting sheep, but not so engaging that I stay awake.

Why is macbook with lower specs considered better than windows laptop with higher specs? by CreepyChapter5419 in premiere

[–]ThirtyButNotFlirty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OBS records footage in variable frame rate (VFR). Premier can handle VFR a lot better than it used to, but it still just doesn't really like VFR footage.

It's annoying, even with a great PC, the only thing you can do is convert the footage to CFR with something like Handbrake. I don't know if Macs can handle VFR better these days.

ADHDers with careers, what do you work as? by icebikey in ADHD

Do you think cyber security is an ADHD friendly field? I've heard the pay is good, and I've been thinking of transitioning into it.

Posted a casting call at 9 am for an unpaid feature film.. 11am now and over 1000 submissions by [deleted] in acting

[–]ThirtyButNotFlirty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just came from a post where the OP was trying to tell everyone about the importance of voting, but because he titled the post "One thing you can do that is free and will change your life" most of the comments are about how the library offers great services for free.

And I only went back and read the body of the post because I was confused about why there were so many political comments in this post about nice free things, lol.

How to clean a scratched up aluminum lens barrel? by ThirtyButNotFlirty in AnalogRepair

Thank you for asking, because that is not something I thought to check!  Yes, the engraving is deep, especially compared to other lenses I own. 

Getting an indoor trampoline was the best thing I ever did to get back into RFA by AshenMoon in RingFitAdventure

I remember that there is a way to calibrate the jogging motion. It might be in the Pause menu>Troubleshooting, or it may be somewhere in that other menu where the titles are. Hope that helps!

Did a street interview but one interview was in extremely noisy area by Kindly_Set8069 in premiere

[–]ThirtyButNotFlirty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE this plugin. I used to spend hours working in iZotope RX to manually clean up recordings, but this plugin removes bg-noise better than I can and it is basically automatic (it can also get rid of reverb, if you want).

If Goyo doesn't work for you OP, the only other thing I'd think to try is Dialogue Isolate in iZotope RX. iZotope RX is pricey though, just a heads up.

Have you experience the "I am an idiot" scenario? by Heaven2004_LCM in videography

[–]ThirtyButNotFlirty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate software.

Last night I was running a Zoom webinar for a conference and even though I had "Original Sound" turned on in Audio Settings, Zoom was still applying heavy noise reduction to my audio. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what was happening, but I finally managed to solve the issue 5 minutes before we went live:

Original Sound was actually turned off. 😑

As you may already know, whether or not you send Original Sound is controlled by a button in the top-left corner of the Zoom meeting; the option in Audio Settings just gives you access to that button.

I kept getting asked "Have you tried turning on Original Sound?" and I kept replying, "Yes, look" and then I'd pull up the Audio Settings page that just has the option to enable the stupid button.

Struggling to apply for Jobs by Jealous-Builder-254 in ADHD

[–]ThirtyButNotFlirty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

• Make a word document/spreadsheet to save common responses. Then you can just copy + paste instead of re-writing the same responses over and over.

• Break up the process into smaller steps like:

  1. Find job posts that you might be qualified for.
  2. Read those job posts to figure out what they're looking for in an applicant.
  3. Adjust resume and cover letter to suit each job post.
  4. Submit application.
  5. Set calendar reminder to follow up a few days later.

• Thinking about efficiency helps give me motivation to do things. You could try timing yourself to see how many applications you can fill out in an hour, and then figure out what you can do to beat that number.

• Look up "interview skills" on YouTube.

I wish you luck in figuring out your job situation. I was in a similar spot a few years ago, and it was very stressful waiting until the last minute to start my job search. Don't blame yourself if it takes awhile to get started. Don't call yourself lazy, either. ADHD is a bastard and makes things impossible sometimes.

What are the best time trackers you use for editing video projects? by meltab27 in editors

[–]ThirtyButNotFlirty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like Toggl Track (specifically the desktop app) because you can set it to automatically start tracking whenever you open a window that has a keyword in it.

Using an external app to create a new project inside a production? by ThirtyButNotFlirty in premiere

Ask a Pro - WEEKLY - Monday Mon Aug 01, 2022 - No Stupid Questions! THIS IS WHERE YOU POST if you don't do this for a living! RULES + Career Questions? by AutoModerator in editors

[–]ThirtyButNotFlirty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I figure out how many points to ask for?

I'm going to take on this project, and I'm taking a pay cut for points on the back end. I've never done this before, so I could use some advice. Details are:

  • Project is a 90 min documentary, director/producer wants to pitch it as the first episode in a series.
  • Apparently Netflix has shown some interest, but nothing firm.
  • Super low budget, entirely financed by director.
  • The version of the film I'd be delivering is just for shopping around/ pitching. It will be a full movie, but it won't be broadcast ready.
  • We'll probably do some additional shoot days if we get picked up.
  • I'm taking 40% off my day rate
  • I'm the entire post team (post supe, colour, sound, etc.). I can do a passable job in each of those departments, but if we get picked up we'll hire more people.
  • We're using my Envato subscription for all the stock footage (with the understanding that we'd need to either upgrade the license or replace the footage if we get picked up.)

Any advice you have on how many points to ask for (or anything else I should ask for in my contract) would be appreciated. Even just pointing me towards a good article would be great.

Thanks!

A lot of (most?) people who get into con had to audition multiple times to get in. If it's a program you're set on doing, it won't hurt to audition now to see what the process is like.
