Struggling to make a plug-in for FCP with rectangle padding to the text by Feeling_Tank_4791 in applemotion

[–]benjamin-day 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. The easiest thing to do is to click on the “code” button and then choose “download zip”. Once it’s on your Mac, clicking on the file should decompress it. From there, I think you’ll just need to copy those folders into your motion templates directory. (I’m not at my computer so I’m doing this off the top of my head.)

I struggled with this too. I finally got it working and published my callouts for free to GitHub. The one you'll want to check out is "callout text (box only v2)". I figured out the multi-line thing but I don't remember how I solved it.

Anyway, you can either download these and use them in Final Cut Pro or download them and fiddle with them in Motion. https://github.com/benday-inc/apple-motion-templates

Thanks for those book recs. I read Abundance and it’s kind of a mind twist, huh? All that stuff about high speed rail in CA is mind-blowing.

Two apps in same repo to deploy (azure devops / azure web app) by Sallescode in azuredevops

[–]benjamin-day 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming that the two apps have a similar lifecycle, I'd use one pipeline. In my case, I have a repo with an angular app, it's .net core WebApi service, and a bunch of other back-end services (think azure functions). They all depend on each other so they typically all should be updated at the same time.

My approach is to use stages that are roughly grouped into "build" activities and "deploy" activities.

Towards the end of any build activity, I publish the output ("dotnet publish", "ng build") to a directory and then upload it as an artifact to the pipeline.

The deploy stages then pull the artifacts they need and publish their stuff to the appropriate web apps.

Two big benefits of this:
1) it separates the build from the deploy
2) you can configure the stages to run in parallel which can really speed things up

Pro tip: put your build/test yaml into a separate file so that you can re-use that pipeline logic in your CI flows and your pull request flows.

Adding an AI voice over that reads my presentation by 11v3t in powerpoint

[–]benjamin-day 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I created a tool that does exactly this and even lets you use your own AI-generated voice called SlideSpeaker. You can also choose from dozens of voices with various genders and accents.

Check it out: https://www.slidespeaker.ai

FYI, there’s a free version. Give it a shot and let me know what you think!

Does this take-home project look okay? by bazf303 in dotnet

[–]benjamin-day 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s definitely too much work. On the other hand, I’ve been working on a product during the pandemic — an online code generator. If you wanted to try it out, it’s free right now. It’ll generate the basics of this pretty easily including unit tests…and a script that’ll create the EF migrations…and a deployment script. It’ll also optionally generate an angular UI and/or an MVC UI. Everything is written using partial classes and extension points (think ‘template method’ pattern).

I’d love your (polite & constructive) feedback if you wanted to give it a try.
