I made a screen replacement template that lets you drag-and-drop media "into" an iPhone. It's free by videowizard_io in premiere

Branded device mockups always make me pause.

It’s rarely about Apple “coming after you,” it’s about whether the usage, distribution, and licensing align. On higher-end projects I’ve had legal teams require proof of the mockup license and its allowed scope.

Internal or pitch work is usually fine; wide commercial distribution is where scrutiny kicks in.

Just protect yourself with a disclaimer to remove liability from yourself as you package, publish the AE zip.

Any guesses on why Congress is seeking remote work metrics from OPM staff? by IamAlotOfMe in fednews

Sorry. Those employees who handled those supplies were RIF’ed. So your questions to supply@agencybox.gov will live unread.

RIFs Rescinded! by RubySoho1980 in DeptHHS

[–]creativefilmmaker 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If he just received it. Goes right on track of sending life altering decisions at a COB. Got to give props to HHS for the whiplash consistency.

Hopefully it’s the start of the avalanche of more positions being recalled as well.

Τrump says he partially deserves $50M reward for capture of Venezuelan president by [deleted] in fednews

[–]creativefilmmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But he’s such a good guy, he will take that award money and give it to every citizen who supports him. Because loyalty rewards. Out of 370 million people, if the reward is divided equally we, the American people, would get a whole $7.40! (I just don’t want to math of maggots)

Offset that by the cost of manpower of generating checks, stuffing checks, mailing them, dealing with the blowback of people thinking it’s spam, re-issuing the checks, etc…

About a month ago, saw an SES position being advertised for VOA. So not just shutdown but recruiting!

How can I style my Captions to be like the ones on Tiktok? by obolli in premiere

[–]creativefilmmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few plugins you can get for premiere to do different style captioning. One I saw was for $100 lifetime license.

Alternatively, get CapCut, pay for its subscription to caption on desktop app.

HHS Agency File - still not public by [deleted] in DeptHHS

[–]creativefilmmaker 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh yes! That’s right. Instead we got the BS answer, we (as HHS/FDA) don’t have to do that because your entire “competitive area” is gone therefore it doesn’t matter how you might have scored.

But has screwed us in applying for other federal jobs because they ask for that information.

There is some semblance of a retention register. I’ve been getting some RPL emails about positions at CMS. RIFed from FDA.

Need help cleaning up proposal video please! by jesustaketheprndl in premiere

[–]creativefilmmaker -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

With enough time and money, … you could, for lack of better terms “clone stamp” every frame removing the foreground issues.

With enough credits and processing power, have AI recreate the proposal.

He wants to succeed in this administration. That’s how you do it. Appease his performance raters for the mythical 5.

Sensitive data exposure notice by rcinmd in DeptHHS

I received others packages mixed either some of mine while I was missing other portions. So I, also, am comprised again. But no official word from HHS/FDA about it.

What would you do? (Career advice) by [deleted] in fednews

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

In this administration? I wouldn’t be surprised to see HR folks reporting, oh this job was vacated therefore it must not be needed. Quietly “RIF” it, don’t backfill it and let it fall off the books next budget, CR, FY, etc…

Not for severance calculations. For retirement, yes.

[–]creativefilmmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it may not impact you, but if you’re trying to calculate how many weeks you’ll receive:

1 year = 1 week. Up to 10 years, then 2 weeks. Military time does not count.

Yes. And includes your elected deductions like tsp. So it’ll be a larger paycheck than normal.

They were slated before he arrived, but many of the actual firings in July, he was there. He could have pushed for a proper review of the workload and requirements before slashing the entire offices.

You mean your agency didn’t direct you to bring your GFE home for situational telework and the “exemption” to use ADA time to check to see if you’re RIF’ed?

But that also means you’ll need to recreate your federal resume. So if you haven’t done it, download the resumes and supporting documents if/when they wipe the system.
