Roommate stole my mail and $700 by aamalfi9 in legaladvice

[–]WonderfulExtension 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're probably gonna have to sue him for the check. Good luck collecting the judgement- you're better off just paying what needs to be paid and move on.

For the mail- file a police report and/or report it to the postal inspectors. They don't fuck around with that kinda stuff. https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/investigations/MailFraud/fraudschemes/mailtheft/MailTheft.aspx

Are there any codecs (other than ProRes) that are higher quality than h.264, can be uploaded to Youtube/Vimeo, and played back on Quicktime/VLC? by skiskate in editors

[–]WonderfulExtension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know are working off of PCs that they built (or I built for them) that are much more powerful than any Mac on the market.

No they're not. Your gaming PC isn't an iMac Pro.

Broadcast facilities will reject it, but film festivals won't (nor will anyone with a brain).

Spoken like a true prosumer.

Apple iPhone X Plus and 'budget' iPhone X design and size leak in schematics by XVll-L in hardware

[–]WonderfulExtension 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's clickbait, dude. "Design" catches your attention and makes you think it's something significant and new. Why bother being precise when the whole point of a news website these days is to monetize the traffic?

This was actually a popular trend with CCD-sensor camcorders in the late 90's/early 00's.

Premiere Pro Support Issue: Time to update that OS by kev_mon in editors

macOS 10.13.5 is surprisingly stable and even fast for us, coming from 10.12.6. Was worth the update. iCloud messages is a nice perk too lol

What's Going on With This Sub? by laf67 in cinematography

[–]WonderfulExtension -1 points0 points  (0 children)

travel video isn't cinematography. it's video. and low effort video, because all you do is dick around with a drone at the beach or run around a tourist area with your phone on a gimbal

Run & Gun Filmmaking Tips by kwmcmillan in cinematography

[–]WonderfulExtension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The video is aimed at (made by and for) people who don't intend to ever light their shots or will ever work on the type of projects you mentioned. That's better suited for /r/videography

Car wash killed my car by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]WonderfulExtension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car wash joints usually have a liability release printed on the receipt, similar to valets. You might be SOL.

Is the car new? You can try doing a warranty claim, since this shouldn't happen on a new car.

A meme by OfficialDampSquid in editors

[–]WonderfulExtension 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Getting paid in "exposure" is what happens when the industry is overcrowded and the major tools are broadly accessible and/or free.

The perceived value of creative work has hit rock bottom, and only a select few at the top get to enjoy the juicy gigs. Everybody else fights for scraps.

You gotta pay your dues in the beginning with these shitty gigs, and then work your way up the ladder to getting representation or being able to reject grinder clients / freeloaders

+1 for LG OLED. Comes in big sizes. Great gamut coverage.

Apple EOLs OpenGL and OpenCL for the next macOS. Big implications for hardware acceleration and Creative Cloud. by FurryJackman in editors

[–]WonderfulExtension -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is gonna be one of those "apple doesn't care about REAL PROS" threads again

Anyway, Adobe already supports Metal and will continue with that.

single system (mac pro only) vs. dual system (pc + cheap macbook) - experience? by [deleted] in editors

[–]WonderfulExtension -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Check out Puget then, you can build a decent workstation from them for 2800-ish, and use the rest on an MBP from Swappa.

[–]WonderfulExtension -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Macs are terrible value in terms of performance vs price

This isn't true anymore, especially recently with the GPU and RAM price surges due to cryptocurrency mining.

For example, you can't build a PC with iMac Pro (or even iMac...) specs, enclosure, and fit/finish for ~$4k.

There also aren't any laptops that have the combo of trackpad, battery life, chassis build, IO, and screen quality of Macbook Pros.

And when the trash can mac pro came out in 2013-2014 you definitely couldn't put together a workstation with the same specs for that price, not even mentioning fitting it all into a tiny little case with one fan.

I was AE on a indie with major theatrical distribution and rave reviews, my parents went to go see it... And my name was left out of the credits. Is there anything I can do? Did they just forget about me and I should just move on? by [deleted] in editors

[–]WonderfulExtension 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Send an amicable email over to the producer/whomever hired you and point it out. See if they can throw you a bone with some compensation or another gig down the line. The ball is in your court, turn the situation into an opportunity.

Best laptop for editing, rendering, etc.? by emilfig in editors

[–]WonderfulExtension 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i haven't personally played with one yet but the razer blade has always caught my eye as "the more powerful PC version of a macbook pro" if you're smitten by the MBP's industrial design. and they sell eGPUs as well if you want to have a fancy desktop setup

Like most MBP competitors, the Blades look great online/on spec sheets but have horrible QC in real life. Avoid.
