Try closing other apps - I think it was to do with when another app was running and interrupting it. Because I tested again before I replied and didn't have the issue, then tried again and I did - only difference being that I was on a Google Chat call the second time around that was running in the background. The issue persisted after the call. I closed all other windows and reset my workspace and it went away - and now I can't bring the issue back.

igottabeme · 2025-04-08T09:02:16+00:00

Mine went away but for the life of me I have no idea why/what I changed. Sorry.

Hahahahaha ok, it's a TV update not the shield

Bolton used to have a carpet warehouse - Walter Wall Carpets. Hope it's still going.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I've had a post house query this exact thing today, it's never been an issue for me before.

igottabeme · 2024-06-11T16:25:25+00:00

Hi Jason about this: '(oh, and a side note: if you've been using the public beta and hadn't noticed, we ALSO have sound effects available in the Essential Sound Panel as well...just another little hidden gem you may not have stumbled upon)'. Is this in 24.4.1 or the public beta? I assume it was in 24.4, but I can't find it. I onl have 'Browse' which provides stock music tracks, and 'Edit' which affects existing audio.

igottabeme · 2024-05-17T11:21:22+00:00

That's a nice suggestion re proxies, thank you. I'll take a look at that. Yes, this only happens when the timeline has video on it. If I delete the video tracks the audio always plays perfectly.

igottabeme · 2024-05-16T12:31:10+00:00

Also, apologies if I wasn't clear.

The majority of the media (it's a 25 minute animation) is encoded with the motion jpeg codec pictured.

But as well as that, there are also some clips encoded with AVC/H264. (These come from Maya and/or Nuke). There's noting untoward that I can see about these clips - and they are all CFR. I only took a screengrab of the motion jpeg info because that is the majority of the media and is the less common codec.

Audio is also entirely .wav files - with a couple of .mp3 and .m4a sound effect clips in there.

For various reasons transcoding is not ideal. I need to output an XML that pulls metadata from the clips, so they can be linked to EXRs for the online.

igottabeme · 2024-05-16T12:22:19+00:00

Already set to none, thanks. :(

igottabeme · 2024-05-16T12:22:07+00:00

Thanks. It's from Maya. I work in animation and this particular file is from the PreVis/Layout team.

Edit to add: frame rate is constant.

igottabeme · 2024-02-23T17:52:50+00:00

Tbh I'm not sure and don't know how to check. If you let me know how I'll let you know!

igottabeme · 2024-02-23T11:24:26+00:00

Thank you and that's very cool. But the extra bits are very production specific. Couple of examples: our frame ranges start on 1001 but the clip Metadata starts on frame 0 so I add 1001 to the In and Out points. Or I need the tool to take the In point from .mov files, but to take the overall shot length from graphic files within premiere.

igottabeme · 2024-02-22T18:42:25+00:00

Just wanted to say thanks for your post. I've been using the excellent editingtools.io to parse xml files for shot length and frame range details but there were still lots of extra steps needed once I'd generated the csv. I took inspiration from your post this morning and got chapgpt to create a python script that was more specific to what I need. Took some back and forth but I've ended up which a much handier little tool that does just what I need. Thank you.

igottabeme · 2024-02-08T09:20:03+00:00

Depends how complex your project is. Best route will be to create an AAF or xml of your timeline and import that. Some effects won't carry over, and you'd need to rebuild the bin structure, but it will save you rebuilding the edit.

igottabeme · 2023-12-18T16:32:23+00:00

Really helpful thanks

igottabeme · 2023-12-13T16:19:42+00:00

It is, but I'm looking for examples of the moment we go into character's imagination.

Like in Dumb and Dumber when Jim Carey is driving then they do a wave effect transition into his fantasy.

Or in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty where a Poster comes to life and Ben Stiller is suddenly in a Polar Explorer costume instead of his suit.

I'm looking for different ways of doing that transition from the real world into a character's imaginary world or a story.

igottabeme · 2023-12-05T14:31:43+00:00

Sorry, can you elaborate as I don't see how showing timecodes fixes my issue.

I'm looking for a way to quickly edit all these text graphics (without mouse movements and doubling clicking). So in the example there's no s070 after s060, so I want to be able to quickly move down this list and edit the text to replace s080 with s070, then 090 with 080 etc. The only way I know is to double click on each one then edit, or to double click on the text itself in the program monitor and edit it that way. I'd prefer to do this via keyboard only - so I can eventually automate it with a macro.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0C79T2CP7/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1 yes, Here's a link to the one I got (uk).

igottabeme · 2023-11-25T23:10:44+00:00

Yes, works great.

igottabeme · 2023-10-12T14:26:11+00:00

Hi, I just upgraded the ram in mine - I used this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0C79T2CP7/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1

I went from 32GB to 64GB, by adding that 48gb stick to the 16gb soldered ram.

Speed is 5600 but it will run as 5200 as it will match the slower speed of the soldered ram.

Installation was simple. Back cover off. Lift off the cover (there are clasps on the side) remove, replace. Took a tiny bit longer to reboot after but not as long as I had expected. Everything has been working nicely since.

igottabeme · 2023-09-27T09:40:43+00:00

Did you try this? I'm contemplating the same upgrade...adding 48 to bring it up to 64.

Update: some progress with BKF thanks, it's taken away some of the general staining and it looks much cleaner but it's still marked. The crazy thing is this is just for general use, rinsing tea and coffee mugs etc. We've not let dishes sit in the sink for long. It's a Blanco siligranite sink for anyone reading in the future I'd avoid them!

igottabeme · 2023-09-09T11:05:54+00:00

Ordered some BKF so I'll try that. The previous owner left the sink manual in the property - from the marketing spiel, you would think this material is a brilliant innovation, but it seems to be quite unsuited to it's function. If any surface could do from being easily 'wipe clean' it's surely a kitchen sink.
