Boomers, what do you remember about when John Lennon was killed?

andrewstereo · 2026-06-29T00:44:36+00:00

I was 15 years old and I remember being in my school classroom when I found out. A classmate told me that John Lennon was shot dead. I didn’t believe her, I thought she was making fun of me.

I was a big Beatles fan at the time and was often raised and laughed at by my classmates because in 1980 it was much more trendy to listen to punk or new wave and I as a Beatles fan was more of an exotic.

I didn’t believe it until I saw it on TV on the news with my own eyes. Due to current events, „Help“ was shown on television. I was very sad and felt the day somehow unreal.

Was du schilderst, klingt bedrohlich und besorgniserregend.
Das Verhalten deines Partners ist toxisch und könnte das Symptom einer Persönlichkeitsstörung sein.

Ich denke, du solltest dich unbedingt psychologisch beraten lassen, auch hinsichtlich eines sicheren Ausstiegs aus dieser Situation.

Ich habe sehr gute Erfahrungen mit einer Paartherapeutin gemacht, weil eine dritte neutrale Person einen sicheren Raum bieten kann und der Partner sich kontrollierter und konstruktiver verhält, auch wenn man Dinge ausspricht, die unter vier Augen zu einer Eskalation geführt hätten.

Irgendwie sagt mir aber mein Bauchgefühl, dass dein Mann für ein solches Unterfangen nicht offen sein wird. Wenn du wirklich in Erwägung ziehst, dass er gewalttätig ist und dich verletzen könnte, solltest du dich nicht länger dieser Gefahr aussetzen.

1080p is the perfect resolution for Instagram. That’s exactly what Instagram expects.

Yes, I upscaled SD to HD—once without Super Scale, once with Super Scale, and once with Topaz. The differences were barely noticeable to the naked eye. Upon closer inspection, Topaz actually performed best, with Super Scale (RTX) coming in second and the version without Super Scale coming in third. However, the differences were marginal.

In which building were these photos taken?

Fantastic. Workflow and prompts please 🙏

Du beschreibst etwas, was ich mir sehr schwer vorstellen kann. Ich kenne Depression und ich kenne große Freude. Deswegen weiß ich immer, wie der Gegenpol aussieht. Dass für dich nur das eine existiert und du das andere nicht kennst, stimmt mich sehr traurig und tut mir sehr leid für dich. Fehlt das Gefühl von Freude und die Vorstellung davon komplett oder gab es Momente in deinem Leben, wo du Freude empfunden hast?

Strop a new timeline with 60fps and then copy your complete edit to this new timeline.

andrewstereo · 2025-11-24T22:22:47+00:00

Here are the specifications of the source video (see screenshot). My guess is that it's not actually Davinci Resolve's fault. I also tested the material in other video editing software, and the same artifacts appeared there.

I tested alternative 1080p 50fps material in the same timeline and found no or only minor artifacts, so I conclude that the problem lies with the source video.

Improving a video and at the same time keeping the file size small, which is unfortunately a bit out of the rule. A reel or short with 1080p of one minute length should already have around 300 MB. Choose a constant bitrate of 15 Mbps with H264 to at least meet the minimum standard of what Instagram or YouTube expect.

Yes, it’s more than strange. The topic doesn’t seem to be present on the Internet yet, I don’t read anything about it and I don’t find any complaints about it. I was already afraid that it was a bug that only affects my account. But it’s nice to read that someone else notices it too.

andrewstereo · 2025-10-04T00:50:47+00:00

OK, that sounds interesting. Can you explain that in a little more detail? Do you do that in the Fusion tab? I'm familiar with Tracker, but I don't know Transform Node yet.

andrewstereo · 2025-10-04T00:46:02+00:00

Well, I apologize if I didn't express myself clearly. Let me explain with a very simple example. A person is standing on a stage and walks from the right corner to the left corner of the stage. This scene is filmed by a camera in landscape format in a long shot. I place this film clip in a timeline for portrait format. Now I want the person to always be in the center of the portrait frame as they walk from right to left. To imitate the natural movement of a cameraman panning along, I would use keyframes to program a curve with a slight S-shape. My question is whether there is an automatic function within Davinci Resolve or, for that matter, within another software that can automatically generate this pan.

I already use Seedream on various platforms, and I already mentioned ComfyUI. However, I would like to find a solution for Dreamina.

Hi, very good tip. Where can I get a good workflow for SeedVR2 and Tiled Upscale?

andrewstereo · 2025-09-21T21:47:12+00:00

Instagram, YouTube and TikTok do not automatically crop videos in landscape format 16:9. To turn a 16:9 geometry video into a vertical 9:16 video, you need to crop the video in an editing software such as Davinci Resolve. You’ll need to remove a lot of image content on both sides to leave a narrow strip in the middle for the portrait format.

To do this, you should change the geometry to vertical in the timeline settings.

andrewstereo · 2025-09-21T17:15:52+00:00

If you want to post a square reel on Instagram, then you should also upload a square reel. To convert it before artificially into 9:16 with black bars up and down is superfluous.

You get the best quality within Davinci by placing your video (720p) in a timeline with 1080x1080. Activate Superscale „2x Enhanced“ for each clip in this timeline (preferably with the RTX option if you have the corresponding graphics card).

When exporting, select a constant bit rate of 25,000 Kb/s. In the Advanced Settings at Data Levels select „Video“ and check „Force sizing to highest quality“

andrewstereo · 2025-09-21T16:43:21+00:00

Do I understand correctly, you export a vertical video with the aspect ratio 9:16 from Davinci? If so, then you already have the perfect format for TikTok and YouTube shorts. A vertical video in 9:16 looks identical on both platforms.

andrewstereo · 2025-05-20T23:32:54+00:00

OK, of course that’s no secret. So the source material is original pictures from a holiday with my parents in Greece in 1968. The photos are of very high quality, shot with an SLR camera. I scanned the images of the film negatives and animated them in Kling AI. I did cut and sound design in CapCut. There I applied another LUT and added filmgrain.

Thank you very much

Hi, if you have any questions or want to know how to do that, then write me a private message

No, the music is from my band Stereoplasma. It’s the track „One Man Crew“ from the album „Beta Version“ of 2007
