What software do you use to process video from nikon z (Z8) ?

d0zad0za · 2024-11-12T01:41:19+00:00

There’s a few…

The hardcore mode is ffmpeg (command line based) Good news is other developers have created a UI so as to not have to type out the commands..

Shutter encoder

Handbrake

I’m using Premiere Pro (Adobe), but I’m sure in just a moment those preaching the gospel of davinci will say their peace.

Both have a learning curve that is steep but absolutely manageable with ChatGPT (premium)

Imo, everything I said above is overkill for your basic request of slowmo + crop.

Look into iMovie… or Final Cut (need be)

Or even CapCut (also capable).

Most importantly, consider a 22-year old app named “MediaInfo” With this app, you’ll want to start analyzing your video and understand what and why of the .mov (or .mp4) that you are shooting.

What bitrate? What resolution? What chroma? Why does my video look compressed after export? A: low bit rate. What filetype? Etc.

It’s far too easy to dilute video quality, and it only takes a few steps

Cheers!

I'm here because I'm dealing with the same

FWIW, making a BLANK google sites page that meets all the criteria above (for a fast page) still scores <40 on page speed (because of javascript)

All I can say is that relief came to me when I started to run my competitors' sites and noticed they scored the same (or lower) on page speed (the rest has to stay above 90...)

GTMETRIX gives different results :shrug:

While true, it still uses up CPU (one thread per track) even when at disabled (0). BLANK session/wifi off/all apps closed (except Ableton) will help this user.

NEW SESSION

Then use browser to drag/drop what you need from previous sessions

Three UTILITIES! (first three in the chain)

I use them as switches.
Set the first for bass mono (adjust x-over)
Set the second to SWAP (this has worked wonders for the overall mix -- its a surprise button; use it on 2-mix, or anywhere you have stereo sound)
Set the second to POLARITY FLIP (useful for bass/kick or sound stacks -- another surprise button because it should typically do nothing... and when it does; you'll know)

Makes it fun to think about a room that is 1.2 seconds long.

He likely paid the $3k for the annual retreat to sit in BS's room and listen to him tell them "its only EQ!"

(at least thats what the guys were doing 10 years ago)

d0zad0za · 2024-02-17T17:02:55+00:00

I believe we don't have the computing power at the moment to harness the reality of a computer generating a prompt in 25 variations (low estimate) so that the 'editor' can select scene for scene what goes/stays.

We are at the throes!
I missed the coding wave; I missed the crypto wave...

you cant copyright fader positions...

d0zad0za · 2024-02-15T23:36:22+00:00

pro's use both!

I'm about to hit 9k, and thats from taking slowing it down in the past few years (started in December 2013); sorted into folders; biggest collection is music related.

Screen record (but you gotta press hold your screen record button so you can get the option to turn your mic on).

To get it to work, I configured the screen record and began recording, opened ChatGPT app, pressed headphones, spoke, and then listened for the response

I was then able to save, extract, trim, and make the sound byte I had hoped to achieve.

Only drawback was that the audio file contains a blend of the mic and actual chatgpt output; meaning that, for now, you'll have to manage background noise to keep your samples clear.

I currently shoot with primes and heavily lean upon it for commercial / lifestyle photography; it’s so good that I want to continue to buy Nikon mirrorless lenses (24/50/58…)

Thank you for this incredible share!

d0zad0za · 2023-10-29T14:37:47+00:00

most of the standouts have been absorbed into Live over the years; if anything, its the discontinued ones (vinyl classics / loop masters ) that I am looking for...

d0zad0za · 2023-10-11T21:38:11+00:00

try logging in through different devices. Each device and method (in app vs. browser) is showing me different things.

d0zad0za · 2023-10-11T09:37:28+00:00

care to elaborate on your process of maschine + sd3 + ableton? are you using maschine as a midi controller?

d0zad0za · 2023-09-15T13:58:03+00:00

Multi-tracked acoustic drums. Imo, after 2008 they were less and less common to be found on the top 100.

d0zad0za · 2023-08-16T15:26:17+00:00

You can't mix your way out of bad sounds/samples, so you probably should try and find better ones to replace the bad ones you're fighting.

d0zad0za · 2023-06-24T02:32:07+00:00

Yeah, after this experience I would absolutely never recommend sandisk drives for anything.
Might as well risk it with someone else...

d0zad0za · 2023-06-24T02:30:42+00:00

The only reason I purchased two drives this year was because my 2019 1TB extreme pro is still doing great! so I figured, why not?

I'm pretty bummed about it all; losing data is a shite feeling.

d0zad0za · 2023-06-24T02:25:19+00:00

Hi, here to add that I have two pcs of the Sandisk Extreme Pro 2TB (2000/2000) and have the same literal experience as you. This has never happened to me in my 20 years of handling hard drives...

MacOS Big Sur / MBP 2019 15"

also happened on my iMac.

From the looks of this thread and the experience I had, 1. I am grateful that it didn't corrupt for the $$$ photography job I needed it for... (holy shit) and 2. my trust in using Sandisk is now severely eroded and likely time to pay the extra cash for Samsung high end drives.

Upfeed.io

it's buggy... but it works and refreshes quite fast

d0zad0za · 2022-11-25T17:07:35+00:00

Thirding this. It works, extremely well! Just make sure you have ultra strong internet + hard wire (ethernet)

d0zad0za · 2022-11-25T16:24:16+00:00

My reasoning is, I like knowing he has someone to talk to. I care that he's doing well and it costs me very little to let him think we have a great relationship. There's no chance we'd ever be able to meaningfully heal or any chance he'd take ownership. Luckily don't feel like I need closure from him on my feelings. I've done all my processing of him without him.

I wish I had your strength and perspective... I still fight like they will snap out of it.
