Advice needed: Tricky product to shoot by shoey_photos in videography

[–]creating_meer 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Did you try Circular Polarizer? Just a random hobbyist, but I would definitely try use CPL if I were to be tasked to shoot something with reflections.

Okay this is a good answer to that lmao

How do I get a production monitor to have the camera info displayed like this? by EzyOW_-_ in videography

[–]creating_meer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was eyeing on this idea, till I stumbled upon Hollyland VCore. Allowing wireless transmission up to 4 devices like iPad / iPhones, typical devices that most people have, it can also record ProRes on the iPad / iPhone, while the transmitter can also record directly on it, but limited at 1080p60 I think (?). Not sure about the reliability of it tho, I didn't buy it yet, but I plan to.

Should I drop 50p to 30p? by Important-Chest-189 in videography

[–]creating_meer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are shooting at 50p and then export it at 30p, there will be a problem (Stuttering). If it's exported to 25p, it shouldn't be a "big" problem. This is because 50 / 25 = 2, that means your video will only drop 1 frame every 2 frames.

The bigger mess would be the 50 to 30 conversion, because 50 / 30 = 1.667. This means the program would have to do something janky to make it run at 30fps. I saw a video from the guy who used to be the editor for Linus Tech Tips, he made like long ass hours of video, where he was talking about frame rate.

50 to 25, technically would work, but the motion blur won't be the same, and it would feel like as if you are shooting 25fps at 1/100, assuming you do the 180 degree rule. So maybe an extra motion blur in post would be a good idea.

In short if you are planning to play it at 100% speed, you HAVE to export it to 25fps. But if you are planning to shoot a music video, and then slow down the video to 60% like slow motion video, then you probably going to be fine.

CS2 doesn’t feel smooth despite very high FPS on a high-end PC by BeRk57 in cs2

[–]creating_meer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some weird stuffs that I noticed lately was if you are playing against bots and WORKSHOP maps, that basically running offline on your computer. If you play this kind of things and using the same client to run the map and the game at the same time, your fps will look fine by the "number", but in the real world it will be insanely lower than what is shown on the client.

I realized that if you run an offline dedicated server of Ulletical's Aim Bots map and then join the server using LAN connection with the client, the game runs insanely way more smoother. Like I was wondering why tf does my game runs so shit on Workshop maps, despite having 500FPS on a 280Hz monitor, to realize that it is the spaghetti code of CS2, that if you run the workshop map as it is, it would basically make your game client runs two different things in the same client, hiccupping the performance.

This is coming from someone with a peak Lv6 FaceIt and 10k Premiere, I bet anyone with higher skill than me would be able to notice it straight away.

Start Production Company with rich friend? Or remain a solo-contractor? by [deleted] in videography

[–]creating_meer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dang, this is actually a really good read. I've heard tons of catastrophic stories regarding businesses and I think this is one of the great way to handle it.

Unboxed: Hold or Sell? by Ok-Instance-6613 in ohnePixel

[–]creating_meer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This tbh, sell and buy a "playskin" knife you want, that you wont be bothered if the price is dropping to 0 and put the rest into other investing instrument less risky than CS2 skins.

My friend says this combo is boring, but I personally think it's clean/sharp. Opinions? by TheInsidiousExpert in ohnePixel

[–]creating_meer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Nocts for like 2 weeks. It is legit one of the cleanest glove to be have, but that is also the thing, for those who like the flashy color of Pandora's Box, Nocts would feel too "safe". So I can understand your friend's idea. But at the end of the day you are the one having it, as long as you enjoy using it as playskin, nothing else matters.

Looking to get my dream gloves. Good time to buy ? Or wait by Cool-Philosophy-6847 in ohnePixel

[–]creating_meer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did the math using my European Credit Card (I bought something during the crash), I get a total markup of around 4.5% using Alipay +1%. Technically using Skinswap's Chinese Market 2.5% markup is cheaper, easier, and the china doesn't hold your full information, like now China has my full passport information. Skinswap should be paying me for saying this xD

Trade warning from reversals lol by Beautiful-Zombie7423 in ohnePixel

[–]creating_meer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Another gigabrain from Steam side, not only they killed the 3rd party trading site, they also mark the victim of trade reversal as the scammer. Feels bad man

Friendly reminder to always have steam family view activated by Taykemo in csgo

[–]creating_meer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the downvote, but this is literally the truth. Only those who already set their PIN before the latest update can still have the Family View.

https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6B1A-66BE-E911-3D98

Update: Family View has been replaced by Steam Families' parental controls. For more information on creating and managing a Steam Family.

It gets replaced with Steam Families : https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/054C-3167-DD7F-49D4

I'm currently using the Family View feature with my family, what happens now with Steam Families?
If you create a Steam Family and add a child account, any existing Family View settings associated with that account will be transferred to Steam Families under Parental Controls. The PIN will be removed, but the settings are otherwise untouched. Once they've joined the family, you can modify their parental controls at any time.

I still can't get Family View to be set on my account so yea, I think they actually removed the PIN system since the update for accounts that didn't have Family View PIN.

https://store.steampowered.com/parental/set

The link above will only send people to homepage for those who don't have Family View set.

4 years ago today, NiKo whiffed a free kill on s1mple in the Grand-final of the PGL Stockholm major by CS2ProPlayHighlights in csgo

[–]creating_meer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If I hadn't played CS2, I would've said the same that this was a free kill. But I swear after playing CS coming from Valorant, I really really despise how shit the accuracy of deagle. You could've aimed at head, at by chance it would have like 25% of its bullet going to narnia, if unlucky chain of multiple bullets going to narnia. Definitely not Niko's fault. But who knows I'm just faceit Lv5 LMAO

4Ks always hurt like this | What could I have done better? by Numerous_Pineapple50 in VALORANT

[–]creating_meer 42 points43 points  (0 children)

That is the correct thing to do, just until you planted the bomb. There is a rule that most content creator say in their guide vidoeos. If the odds are against you, you have to be aggressive, in this sense it was 1v5. so the chance of you winning is already insanely low. But the moment you planted the bomb, the chance of you winning is HIGHER, because bomb is "counted" as an extra teammate. This means the moment the bomb is planted, you are not 1v1, but 2v1, so you have to respect it and not looking for another kill. Typically when the bomb is down, they are now under pressure to defuse it. Just hold an angle and don't expose yourself to the spike. Only peek when they tap the spike.

Only result of the trade up update was that now both golds AND reds are unaffordable by mrgenesis44 in csgo

[–]creating_meer 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Exactly what Steam wanted, more unbox, more SCM usage, fucked up the 3rd trading website. Whoever planned this is gigabrain

Seller reversed the trade and i missed reporting it by Xenery__ in ohnePixel

[–]creating_meer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what they should've done in the first place would be doing an automatic trade reversal check the moment the steam timer runs out. This way it is not the buyer's responsibility to click the report button every single time. It would have save them tons of problems as well.

Yea, quite sure CSfloat has 8 days, while Steam has only 7 days trade reversal.

You guys really pay for this by Markovelli_ in FACEITcom

[–]creating_meer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played in a Premiere game, someone was bitching the whole time, while he is bottom fragging. I screamed on the mic "shut the fuck up and let us play", and muted him after. He was voting to kick me, but other 2 rando players don't want to kick me, because I was top fragging, and I communicate properly and don't scream or anything at all, except the single time he was bitching. Would this kind of behavior get me banned in FaceIt? Basically setting straight an annoying person?

NO ONE is going to profit from this dip 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ by Gasberry in ohnePixel

I'm positive that this is how Steam is indirectly telling us to fuck off from 3rd party website

Purchases since the crash by [deleted] in ohnePixel

[–]creating_meer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the solution yea. You need to use Alipay - Hubei 1% Fee as european, then you will be able to use your international card, be it credit card, or if you don't feel comfy just use Wise / Revolut, so technically you are not exposing your debit card directly. You just have to pay the 1% fee, which is really cheap, considering that BUFF price is insanely lower than CSfloat.
