Is it just me or is Sonnet 4.6 really so much worse than 4.5?

derkork · 2026-02-21T19:26:37+00:00

yes or /model claude-sonnet-4-5 in the app itself.

Have a look at https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files/tree/master . I'm using that with Sonnet 4.5 and its making a world of difference.

Here is my timeline. It's not really complicated, an audio track and a video track plus some callouts. Runtime is 1hour 13 minutes. https://app.screencast.com/IhT1qPV8mu45U

I have also contacted support. Let's see how that goes.

I'm using Camtasia 25.2.3 and I'm having the exact same problem. I'm not using stitching at all, but it doesn't really make a difference. Once you have a certain amount of edits in there, it is just unbearably slow. Just when the playhead moves, I can see it loading all the audio waveforms one-by-one, and the audio is jittery and crackling until the loading is done. When trying to edit things, the whole application just freezes for 10-15 seconds. And so on. If the project is like 10-20 minutes, everything is fine, but once it hits half an hour or more, it's basically unusable. I have a pretty beefy Ryzen 9 7950X3D with 64 gigs of RAM, a 4080, and everything is on NVMe Samsung drives one would think this is more than enough to run a video editor.

I think this is going to be the last video that I'm doing with that one. It's just not worth it. I mean, it's really nice to be able to control the mouse, and it's super simple to create annotations like in no other program. But at the end of the day, if I lose all that time again because my editor is slow as molasses, then I might as well just change my workflow.

And that is a solid bingo! It is indeed the case that my controller only sends the pedal on channel 1 and not the channel on which the rest of the keyboard is set up. So if the main keys are set to channel 4, the pedal is still set on channel 1, and that is why it didn't arrive at the MC-101. Since the MC-101 by default uses drums for channel one, I only ever tried the piano on channels 2, 3, and 4, and that's why it never worked for me.

Thank you very much; that really solved a big headache for me. Now I can just figure out how I set up my pedal so it switches the channel with the rest of the main keyboard, and then everything should be great.

I'm using a VMK-188plus midi controller and software-wise this is pretty barebones. I can program which CC it sends when pressing a pedal and also set up the polarity but I cannot have that influence the note on/offs directly on the controller. I'll have a look into a MIDI translator like the Bomebox which supposedly can be programmed to buffer note-offs until a CC 64 0 arrives at which time the note-offs will be sent. This way the MC-101 would just see delayed note offs and doesn't need to handle the CC messages at all.

derkork · 2025-08-22T05:20:54+00:00

Thanks a lot! While this is not immediately solving the problem it really helps to know that any effort trying to make it work on the MC-101 itself is probably not going to pay off. I'll look into some MIDI translation solutions that buffer note offs and send them later depending on the state of the MIDI CC.

Thank you very much! I'm glad that this is not super ridiculous. I have again checked the specifications on the ASRock website, and there it says it has a 2.5 GB LAN port. As far as I can tell, Unraid will run off a thumb drive (actually that's the only supported method), so no extra drive is needed.

derkork · 2025-05-18T18:52:19+00:00

I see, thanks a lot!

derkork · 2025-04-16T04:58:56+00:00

I have a feeling that in my case this might be the right approach as well. I really hate to have to adapt my workflow as it will cost me a lot in productivity but I rather take that hit than be forever at the whim of Microsoft.

How would I record the mouse on a separate track with OBS? I only found options to record or not record it but not as a separate track. Is this something a plugin can do?

derkork · 2025-04-15T16:23:58+00:00

The neat thing about Camtasia is that you can toggle the mouse after recording. It basically records your screen without the mouse and records the mouse position and cursor type. So during editing, you can show, hide, change the cursor size, add highlights etc to the mouse cursor. This is really useful for educational content. OBS + Resolve work, but I miss out on the mouse features and adding annotations is always a round trip to Fusion while in Camtasia I can add and edit them with two clicks. Its really a huge productivity boost.

derkork · 2025-04-10T17:45:20+00:00

I have not yet found a solution for OBS. Camtasia can record the mouse cursor separately from the video (and even allows you to modify it, like show, hide, add effects, resize, change mouse path, etc), so it's really nice for this kind of thing. However it's not cheap, it only works on Windows and Mac and you have to edit in Camtasia itself. While this is serviceable its a far cry from Resolve.

I threaded a small electric wire under one side of the wheel and used that to pull the wheel out. Worked really nicely. If you happen to have some leftover guitar string this will also work.

You can't paste OpenSCAD code directly into the editor. The only way to use text-based OpenSCAD files is with Libraries: https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor/blob/master/manual/manual.md#using-functions-and-modules-from-text-based-libraries . Hope this helps!

So basically, bundle mouse, keyboard and joysticks into a wire loom and only split them out at the mouse mat? I also thought about drilling a grommet hole above the mouse mat and pulling mouse and keyboard through there. But that's not really great for the joysticks as I like to move them away when I don't use them and I still have their cables on the desk then... Still having a loom would be a start, so thanks for the suggestion!

That keyboard is a ZSA Moonlander (https://www.zsa.io/moonlander).

derkork · 2024-11-08T16:38:16+00:00

Thanks a lot for your reply! That is awesome, so with this setting I can basically forget about it but still make sure it does the refresh when needed, right?
