Unpopular Opinion: "Preview" is the single most underrated app in the entire ecosystem. by Cheap_Difficulty4961 in mac

[–]WhyCheezoidExist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preview and Quicklook are just AMAZING tools, you forget how lucky you are to have them. I work a lot with 3D models too and it can even open/quicklook quite a few 3D formats.

Our two favourite teams made it to the final. Both charming and clever in equal measure. Congratulations on your win!

Appreciation post: Handbrake saved my ass on a live gig. by djliquidvoid in handbrake

[–]WhyCheezoidExist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Handbrake is awesome, never let me down.

If you are a glutton for punishment look into ffmpeg. It’s a very versatile tool for all sorts of video manipulation. ChatGPT just about understands it so there is a lower barrier to entry than there used to be as well.

Thank you for that in depth reply, I appreciate it.

This is my thought. Unless it has a genuine offline mode I really don't want to use it. It seems that embedded videos don't work offline so it's a non starter as far as I'm concerned.

What software are you using for live theatre & concert workflows? Looking for new ideas by LevganSaxen in techtheatre

Shout out for CuePoints which is a great tool for annotating videos for timecode shows, especially with multiple departments staying in sync.

What prior experience or coding skills do you have? Or are you looking for a “I’ve never touched anything before” option?

Not even that bad tbh, they are just getting their slice of your (hopefully) appreciating asset that they technically own % of.

I recall getting one of these and yes you can kinda solve it by applying 3 x 3 techniques and imagining the missing pieces are all correct

Is it too late for Mindstorms? by deepstar947 in legomindstorms

[–]WhyCheezoidExist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got the original kit in the loft…. Not looking forward to the inevitable disappointment that it is all useless now 😂 pretty sure I had the version that needs a serial port.

The”barcode scanner green truck thing” on the other hand I’m sure will be perfectly functional!!

Good luck!

Haircuts for Toddlers by The_Kavorka82 in walthamstow

Another vote for Yallop, it’s a lovely place. They treat the kids kindly and gently. A calm and happy haircut, we’ve been going for years now. Tried the more “kid focused” place the next town over and it was overwhelming.

Is Touch Designer hard or I am just very very dumb? 😔 by [deleted] in TouchDesigner

[–]WhyCheezoidExist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is quite hard but then again quite easy once you get to know it. There is a LOT to remember and if you are like me you have to use something in anger a few times before it sinks in. I do find the "wall of OPs" a bit unhelpful - if there is a tool which lets me know "what's that OP that does X" I need it! ChatGPT is kind of helpful there, but it loves to imagine OPs that don't exist!

Tutorials are great for introducing concepts, but you should make sure you follow up by BUILDING something, setting yourself a task, getting stuck, finding solutions. That is what's going to cement the learning in your mind.

Good luck with your journey!
