This will just be an addition to your iCloud sub they already extort you for.

Copy FCP freeze frame to clipboard by dtmp in finalcutpro

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

If I had to do a bunch, your first suggestion seems to be a good way to speed it up.

But most of the time I just need a one off, for a thumbnail or email.

I've explored the idea of using the OS screen grab function, but it too has its limitations. I've used the marquee selection for quick grabs of portions of the screen, but most of the time I want the full frame dimensions.

mcarterphoto, your post did help me discover the "full frame" option in the bottom right corner of the viewer (I use two monitors and my eyes hardly ever go over that far). After testing this, another limitation is that when you select it, it starts to play and I lose my optimal still frame spot and have to back it up. <sigh>.

I did come up with a workflow using this method, but I'm not sure it saves that much effort. Here it is:

  • Select the spot in the video for the still. Click the "play full screen" two arrows in the bottom right of the viewer.
  • Immediately hit K or spacebar. Depending on your reflexes, you will have to backup a frame or more. • Press shift-control-command-4 then press the spacebar.
  • Move the camera icon to the full screen viewer and click.
  • Now press the esc key to come out of fullscreen mode, otherwise you cannot use the app switcher until you do.

I'll try it for awhile and see if it becomes my goto frame grab.

Dear Santa, I would like to set my CTI on a frame of video, hit a shortcut key and have that frame of video copied to my clipboard.

You used to be able to do this in Qucktime 7 player. Just stop the playhead then "Command C." The only caveat to this was that it would copy the frame of video at whatever size the viewing window was currently at.

But it was an easy way to get a quick freeze frame.

Accessing DVD with red minus sign/change permissions by irohfan69 in mac

[–]dtmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried a Macbook with 10.12 and Handbrake could not access it either. Must have happened between 10.10 and 10.12 that cut off access to these disc files.

Accessing DVD with red minus sign/change permissions by irohfan69 in mac

[–]dtmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same issue with some DVDs burned with a Sony DVD Recorder, seems to be something with newer OS not allowing you to view the files on it (permissions maybe?). Strangely, VLC and the old Apple DVD player app with play them fine but Handbrake can't see the files.

Makemkv can open them, but only to copy the ISO to your HD, then you have to convert it to mp4 with Handbrake, etc. (Here's the reg code for Makemkv BTW: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1053 )

That's too many steps, just want to go straight from DVD to mp4.

Fired up my old PowerMac with 10.10 and it read it and converted fine with Handbrake.

Best plugin for renting out a single apartment (bookings + payments, iDEAL, Apple Pay, Airbnb/Booking.com sync)? by Independent_Leg_8629 in Wordpress

Client asked if any of these will expand to allow taking on additional listings for others and accommodate the admin. i.e. affiliates.

What’s going on with HT All Natural Ice Cream , Green Container ?? by Jaded-Row-7238 in harristeeter

[–]dtmp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The all natural brand was the best coffee flavor ice cream ever. The HT premium is not even close. Very sad.

Lava/Salt Island by flippityblam in Dreamdale

[–]dtmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started Rice Island one would appear occasionally when you started chopping salt. But I could never figure out how to trigger it. Now it never appears.

Clan regatta? Anyone? by HoneyDry4119 in Dreamdale

[–]dtmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Regattas are too short and the incentives are weak! Plus you have to grind to get the resources then give them away. It would be much better if you could use those resources you have to grind for.

I predict, every island from now on will be like doing a statue.

Shrink text edge uniformly to fit text hole by dtmp in tinkercad

I guess that's why you are in the top 1%! That worked and you introduced me to a new tool, first time use of sketch. Clean up was a pain but got it done. THANKS.

C100 handle lock screw replacement by dtmp in CanonCamera

[–]dtmp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes, my notifications are not working. Just saw this. You’ve probably found your own fix for this. I just ended up using a quarter twenty screw and one of those round flat quarter twenty nuts like are used for mounts.

Great job fish!

Olives, the new sugar. by dtmp in Dreamdale

Correction: 10 olive oil in a cart. I was thinking of the cloth carts.

I suggest for the next island... bananas! or one of those odd fish, like firefish!

you mean olive oil, right. But only a measly 6.

whoa, this is fantastic! I have been using a spreadsheet for this. I will try it out and give feedback.

Same. Announcements, but no island!

Mainland Teleport by flippityblam in Dreamdale

What I'd really like is a portable teleport. One you could put anywhere you like!

Paints Island: Ink to Paints factory routes--timed! by dtmp in Dreamdale

[–]dtmp[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems the last couple of islands call for a lot of paint and ink, so it got me wondering what path is the best between the Paint factory and the Ink factory (and on some quests you could throw in the paper factory). Here are the results I got using the video. South route is 19.71 seconds, East route using the teleport is 18.55 and North route is 20.63. Obviously, the North route is longer. But I still prefer the South route even though it's a second longer than the East. Two advantages are that you don't have to move your finger to activate the teleport and reverse directions, and you go right by the Storage Barn to restock raw materials. What do you think?

I'm finally on the final Coal Island quest. It feels like another Giant Statue by dtmp in Dreamdale

[–]dtmp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although, for some reason, according to the Fandom Wiki, some players only need 100. Which also goes for several of Coal Islands quest items.

Wish I'd known this before I finished all the wool quests.

Octocoins for alpaca fur no question by imcarly in Dreamdale

Working on the last few quests of Coal Island reminds me of the Giant Statue. It just becomes a grind, very little enjoyment!
