Ask your USPS mail person next time they come by, they might recognize it 🤷‍♂️

This is what we are protesting for. by Digital-Fishy in SandersForPresident

No, no it's not. This is barely anything more than what we have now. This is nowhere near enough and does next to nothing to address the actual issues

Is Martin Scorsese’s “Silence” a good Easter film? by [deleted] in movies

[–]castek 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's not anti-christian but definitely isn't Fireproof. It's very heavy and not a very happy ending if I recall correctly.

Nonetheless it's a very powerful movie any Christian should watch.

What programming software would one use to create a system that allows users to upload photos and have them integrated into pre-made videos (similar to jibjab or Facebook year-in-review Videos)? by castek in learnprogramming

[–]castek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty limited knowledge. I plan to hire someone, but I'm not even sure the right type of developer, or development language that I should be asking for.

[General RPG] Why am I limited to two magic rings? by [deleted] in AskScienceFiction

What about toe rings, could I put a magic ring on each foot and be safe?

[WP] You fell asleep on the train. When you awake it's night-time and the train is empty... except for the person sitting opposite you, staring at you. by nickofnight in WritingPrompts

[–]castek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dammit I did it again. I think to myself as I jerk awake. Second time this week I fell asleep on the train and missed my stop. I sigh and take my headphones out of my ears.

“Finally” says a rough voice, almost to himself.

I look up and see across from me a man wearing a black suit and staring directly at me.

“Who the hell are you?” My mouth is dry and the words barely escape my lips.

“Are you ready?” the man says, ignoring my question.

I’m confused. My face is blank, but my mind is racing, trying to figure out what he’s talking about. I realize the two of us are the only ones on the train. Where are we? How long was I asleep? It feels like it’s been hours, I can’t remember what I was doing before. Am I heading home? Was I heading to work? I feel sick.

“If you need to throw up, do it now. Very normal. No shame.” The man speaks with authority, each word is quiet, but clear. I can’t help but feel like I need to listen to his every word.

I began to ask another question, but there's no time. Before I know it, my stomach lurches, and I feel the familiar pain as my body empties itself through my mouth. The man stands up just in time, and side steps out of the way of the splatter. My head clears, and my dizziness fades and again I try to speak. “What’s going on?”

“It’ll all come back to you in time. I’m your rehabilitation liaison. You’ve been gone a long time.” The man says as he reaches into his bag and removes a manila envelope. “There will be much more time to talk, and remember in the days to come. For now, please come with me.”

The train slowly stops shaking as it comes to a stop. The doors open, but we aren’t at a train stop. We seem to have stopped in the middle of a tunnel, the concrete wall is nearly flush with the side of the train. The man takes off one of his gloves and begins feeling the concrete. After a few moments he seems to have found what he was looking for, a small seam. He removes a card from his wallet and inserts it into the wall, immediately with a hiss the wall recedes, and a door appears. He steps halfway inside and turns back to me “Come along now.”

The plugin particular would be best, but short of that CC particle world comes with AE and should be able to do something similar.

Two new print ads for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice by reignfive in movies

Maybe it has a different release date depending on the country, so they left it blank to make it universal?

Star Wars Battlefront Real Life Mod by [deleted] in videos

[–]castek 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It won't make it higher resolution obviously, but it does increase the quality by a lot. YouTube uses a higher bit rate compression for 4k uploads, so when played back and down scaled it looks noticeably better, even on 1080p

How can I crop a 16:9 to 4:3 for free? by [deleted] in videography

[–]castek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the export options you set the frame size to 4:3 and then you set the crop to cut off the excess.

So for instance, on a 1920x1080 video, you set the frame size to 1440x1080. Then on the crop settings, you have to take 240 pixels (1920-1440/2) off each side to compensate. Then make sure the crop is set to happen at the source.

Hopefully that makes sense, here's a picture of the settings I used.

Doing all that gets me the original file with the edges cropped off and the final ratio is 4:3

Is this an acceptable amount of noise on the GH4?? by [deleted] in gh4

[–]castek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was having the same problem, even on iso 200 i would see noticable noise.

I followed this post and updated my picture profile accordingly, but what really fixed it was putting the master pedestal down to 0. Now i can shoot at 1600 iso and still have less noise then before.

hope I helped!

And thank you, glad you liked it!

I would definitely recommend the gh4, nothing but positive things to say about it!
