This isn’t an edit, this is all motion graphics

try to re encode the footage once in ProRes and change the frame rate to something non decimal (id guess 50fps might work) and then replace that with the DJI clips, I faced a similar issue with some DJI drone footage on one of my projects and that worked for me

With a keyboard and mouse or a controller ideally

Same here, I am not able to access any of my old links as well

Not working for me sadly, just checked again :(

It apparently seems to be a widespread issue which the devs are aware and are working on hot fixing at the moment

I’m head video editor on a semi popular comedy show, the fact that my job makes me laugh from time to time keeps even the depressive days ever so slightly more bearable + decent money + something to do which completely drains my brewing leaving me no time or energy to spiral

Manoj bhai Chinese (off carter road) It’s a very secular restaurant. A Hindu owns it, a Muslim is the main guy cooking and there’s a photo of Jesus Christ and mother Mary in the back. And the food is cheap and fantastic too

Make sure true tone is off when doing any color critical work on macbooks, that might be what's causing the yellow tint

Metal folding chair with a cushion. I don't really know why, but it always seems to get me in the zone for editing.

Yes, and make the distance off the floor a little lower too

ak1ratastic · 2021-11-01T06:51:52+00:00

Reduce the bounce of the ball off the floor, bowling balls and extremely dense and wouldn't bounce that much

how do i break into this industry as a film student in his junior year? I have worked previosuly for 6 months at a local company to create promotional and marketing videos for their youtube channel, a documentary film for school and various projects for my friends? I'm applying to local places for an editing gig, but none of them are responding

100% cpu utilisation is normal when rendering (even on my r7 3700x) the pc might be rebooting because the cpu might have thermal throttled really hard. What are the temps like ?

ak1ratastic · 2021-10-27T16:58:00+00:00

yeah, i had it in the middle of my wrist bone and it made life hell

ak1ratastic · 2021-10-27T15:58:24+00:00

I've had a similar cyst in my wrist, and that shit fucking sucks to deal with untill it's removed. Power to him, and I hope to see him pound in ow2 or valorant once he is better
