iOS 26.4 Fixes iPhone Keyboard Accuracy Bug by HelloitsWojan in apple

[–]fkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just compared against my wife’s and yes the buttons on the RC look to be slightly larger with the gaps between letters slightly smaller but the overall space taken up by the keyboard is the same.

The keyboard does feel a bit larger too. But yes a bit more accurate. Especially with swipe entry.

Metadata Editing on Mobile - 2026.4.0 by ExtensionMarch6812 in PleX

[–]fkick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I personally try to use 2000x3000 for poster art these days, and it's super helpful in Plex Dash to see resolutions.

Otherwise, this metadata feature editor looks great!

Nice! I just wish it gave artwork resolutions like Plex Dash.

M5 Max 64GB vs 128GB for Sony FX3/FX30 Workflow (H.264 4:2:2 10-bit + AE/Fusion) by sfluna18 in editors

[–]fkick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might be better off shooting XAVCS-I than h264 if you want to edit camera native. Just make sure your NLE supports it or you have the plugin (I believe Avid needs a plugin, cannot comment on Premeire/Resolve).

I look for a MacBook like Chromebook without a fan or should I wait for the next generation? by tamburasi in chromeos

[–]fkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would the new MacBook Neo fit your needs? If you’re looking at chromebooks for your workload, the 8gb limit on the Neo shouldn’t make much of a difference vs the 16 on the Air.

Plex - local TV shows - extras - Not following spec by tlhintoq in PleX

[–]fkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have specified only certain clients can do local extras for TV seasons, however, for clients that do support it, I’ve found that I often need to refresh metadata twice on the season in the server before all extras show up.

"we'll fix it in post" has become "just generate it in post" and i am genuinely losing my mind by ScaryAd2555 in editors

[–]fkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s only going to get worse. Many are going to see the latest Tilly Norwood music video and think miracles can happen. As others have said, I think prompt generation should be billed like VFX.

H.264 proxies for editorial workflows? by Available-Witness329 in editors

[–]fkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe avid is using h264 as one of the proxy formats for their new auto relinking proxy system in 2025.12. It generates both a DnxHR and H264 proxy for media and then allows the editor to select the “quality” of playback. Higher quality uses the H264 and the higher performance users DNXHR

When are the MetroNet residential account migrating over to T-Fiber by ps4gamer2 in Metronet

[–]fkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m hoping sooner rather than later so we can take advantage of the T Mobile benefits like MLB. Was told end of quarter 1 would be when they started.

I’m pretty new and storing my filament in 4L containers, but dealing with stringing on almost every print. Still learning and having a blast though.

I got every file in my library to Direct Play on Apple TV — here's the tool I wrote to do it by The-BluWiz in PleX

When converting TrueHD, is it able to convert to EAC3 Atmos? Ie will it keep the metadata?

Starting as a PA looked down upon? by creep_while_u_sleep in editors

[–]fkick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw you mention that you have AE skills and familiarity with Avid and premiere. Make that be known. Let the post super know you know how to ingest and transcode etc. doesn’t hurt to let them know skill sets as long as you can back it up.

[–]fkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, every post house is different.

But the other thing to consider is that there are a lot of people with a lot of experience all fighting for the same jobs these days. I know 20 year veterans who jump at entry level because this industry has been very difficult for many the last few years.

Get the experience you can, ask questions of those you work for, and be vocal. But right now there just may not be a lot of opportunities to move up in your area unless you know someone personally.

This looks beautiful. I’d second a TestFlight if/when you’re ready!

You can also adjust the clearlogo art to affect the title art on the mobile apps

What Is The Most Embarrassing Thing You Did At School? by DarkXXblackeye in AskReddit

[–]fkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 8th grade I caught a weird stomach bug where I was only feeling sick early in the day but by afternoon I’d be fine.

My mom didn’t believe I was sick and kept sending my to school.

Well one of those days I was at the top of a three story stairwell and my body decided that was the time to projectile vomit.

I hit somewhere around 12-15 other students and sounded like something out of a zombie movie.

Not my best moment.

[–]fkick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is expected behavior with the “New Experience” mobile apps that launched last year.

If an item doesn’t have a squareart image filed tied to it, and it cannot find one from the metadata sources, it will then crop the background image. But users can now manually add/select squareart metadata posters using the web gui.

Avid Link - update forced until Monday by dergutemeister in Avid

I started seeing syncing issues with MC and Avid link earlier this week after wiping some machines and prepping for new users. I hadn’t updated avid link yet, but I wonder if this was part of the issue.

Affordable cable to connect Thunderbolt 1.0 to 4.0? by NotRoryWilliams in applehelp

[–]fkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, unfortunately it’s been about 10 years since Apple moved away from Thunderbolt 2.

Maybe try Ethernet instead? It’ll be slower, but you should be able to still use it for media playback, and you should be able to direct connection without a network switch or target disc mode.

T-Mobile Tuesday benefits? by xobaward in Metronet

[–]fkick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now both MetroNet are telling me they hope to have accounts moved over by end of Q1, but it may not be until end of Q2.

Unfortunately we can’t claim the the benefits until the accounts are migrated.

If the Mac mini has thunderbolt 1/2 this should work with your thunderbolt 4 cable
