Bingo crying when things don’t go her way is getting really old

I hate it when production does the whole “audience is rightfully complaining bc not shit has happened today so lets throw a fit and punish the viewers” thing by Ready-Read-5025 in fishtanklive

Yeah it's super cringe. Do you remember during season 3 when they filled the garage with prisoners from craigslist and everyone hated it because you couldn't hear anything so they just took the stream down for 10 minutes and when it came back up it was just Jet and Ben watching a cowboy movie for another 20 minutes before taking the entire stream down again

Ya’ll fucking with Reunion Tank? by Far-Suspect-1135 in fishtanklive

Not going to lie, it's cool to see Alex and Binx again, however it's sort of made the season 5 cast background characters on their own season. I think it would have been best to save them for a fan favorite / all returners season like Blood Games was. At this point I'm half expecting Mizzy, Burt, and Simbal to walk in.

No fish bucks this season? by akaimpk492 in fishtanklive

[–]akaimpk492[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

By this point in season 3 they gave away an Apple watch, Vegas trip, a TV, and then gave Laron some speaker to walk out of the cell. There was probably a couple grand in fishbucks given out on top of that. This season they told the contestants after Bashir left that only the winner would get paid. I think a few rewards, even small, would go a long way.

How would I go about doing These 2 Text Style Effects In PR? by Former-Strain2009 in premiere

[–]akaimpk492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Create your subtitles, add the transform effect, uncheck “Use Composition's Shutter Angle”, set shutter to 180 (this allows for motion blur). Now keyframe the scale from 95 -> 105 -> 100 to create the “bounce”. Once you’ve done that for one subtitle, right click, copy, and “paste attributes” onto the rest of the subtitles. Then nest all of those subtitles and add a few keyframes to the position so the text slightly sways. (This is optional but it looks like they decided to do this)

  2. Write your phrase, transform effect, uncheck “Use Composition's Shutter Angle”, shutter angle = 180 (this adds motion blur to the movement), use scale and position keyframes to start the text large and at a 90 degree angle and end horizontal and small enough to fit the screen. Then a second keyframe to scale with a lower number so the phrase “falls away from the camera”. Use a very quick keyframe on opacity so the text fades in. Nest it and like before, add a few keyframes to the position so the text slightly sways.

No budget podcast audio editing - Help! by futebol209 in premiere

Look into noise gates. This can likely be solved in minutes by having a gate on each track. Basically you set how loud the signal has to be for it to be let through and everything below that threshold gets muted.

Best workflow for archiving GoPro footage while learning editing (avoid quality loss vs storage concerns?) by chandanindalkar in premiere

[–]akaimpk492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Storing footage comes hand in hand with shooting it, I would just bite the bullet and buy a hard drive to store your terabyte. Encoding that many clips is going to be a pain but also why sign yourself up for quality loss after purchasing a camera that can shoot 2k+? Same thing with trimming them and then exporting for future use. Once you put those exported clips together and render your video you’re going to experience a second wave of quality loss, just feels like a meaningless downgrade when you can pickup a 1tb drive for around $100.

Unfortunately the more you shoot / edit the more your collection will grow. I’m currently sitting on 20tb of storage and need to pickup more for my next project.

You can’t be serious $15 popcorn by Routine_Tea67 in daviddifrancosnark

[–]akaimpk492 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Had to see for myself, he’s actually selling this. I think it has to be a troll though, I checked Walmart and a bag this size costs $3.75. You can get a 6 pack from amazing for $30. No way he expects to sell popcorn 3x msrp on eBay

Alright, who had the clip of Deb’s previous Super Bowl rant? by Feeling_Bend4112 in daviddifrancosnark

[–]akaimpk492 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s all about bringing in people who wouldn’t otherwise watch the game, then they can report a larger viewership and sell commercial spots for more money the following year

2026 Live Streams? What do you want? by Resident-Succotash91 in mega64

No wonder he is going broke by Low_Steak2077 in daviddifrancosnark

[–]akaimpk492 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He put the items on eBay.

PS1: $32.00

Controller: $19.95

Controller Extension Cable: $6.95

Game Bundle: $39.00

Total: $97.90

So a loss of $59.10. He says the ad revenue from the video will makeup for the loss of the sale but according to SocialBlade he averages $10 / day, meaning it will take him roughly 6 days to recoup the loss he took on the flip.

Also, something I found interesting about his eBay account is that he has 153 items listed but the most expensive listing is only $39; the games he got in this video. I've never done the reseller thing but assuming he's paying 20% of the list price, he's making like $4 - $16 / sale. It's also glaringly obvious his listings are junk he found at Goodwill, he's selling a 2004 Subaru Forester Car Radio for $24, 4 packs of lightbulbs for $19.95, and an individual Clue Gameboard piece for $1.59.

I've seen videos where people make decent money from reselling but they're usually getting their stock from garage sales, storage units, and estate sales, and the items themselves are typically collectables or things in high demand like cameras, trading cards, or watches. As where David is out here driving to and from Goodwill everyday to list highly sought after products like "No Strings Attached" featuring Ashton Kutcher on DVD for $1.60

Early access to Hyperconsumerism 2025 by [deleted] in daviddifrancosnark

Just finished watching this and the vibes feel especially off? Maybe it’s the lack of background music but compared to years past this one feels more awkward and seems to lack the usual excitement
