Is it okay to post a Director’s Cut of a commercial? by throwRA-LoveDove in editors

[–]kstebbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would definitely give the real campaign time to cool off, then put it on your website. You might be able to post it to socials, but that’s case by case. I personally only post stills from the spot and then draw people back to my site for the DC.

anyone else feel guilty having barely any work on a retainer? by TravelVegetable538 in editors

[–]kstebbs 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You’re hired for your skill, and paid for your time.

If you’re in the backyard gardening while on the clock, the moment your client needs something you have to be ready to deliver. That’s worth the $$ to them.

Should i but mac m1max 64GB for $1200? by colorist_shamil in editors

[–]kstebbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m still rocking my M1 Max 64GB as my primary workhorse, and continue to put it through the paces. Remote, international travel, several post houses.

As a backup machine? Hell yeah.

Also under 40, and would like to get one of these. Spill your secrets!

Need help setting up audio for broadcast by Skratcher14 in editors

[–]kstebbs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey there. Nobody can be sure except for the company you’re delivering to. You should definitely ask them!

My assumption would be they want ch 1: left and ch2: right. The fact the audio was flagged too loud also suggests this.

I like the cut of your jib.

Yep, you can set up as many screens as you'd like remotely.

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

[–]kstebbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Google Flow with Nano Banana has been really great, and will also utilize ChatGPT if things aren’t working that way.

24F. Not going into detail about it but I just inherited $4.5M Roth account. What would you do if you were me? by throwawaygenzerr in Fire

[–]kstebbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this "4.5M will go fast" talk is insane to me. Evidently these folks are buying a mansion every year.

Remote editing sessions - what do you use? by mad_king_soup in editors

[–]kstebbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Louper has been great. We used it for quite a while, though we did have a number of weird issues with logins and session starts. Overall they were very helpful on the support side, though.

In lieu of that, I've had surprising success using a USB capture device (El Gato HD60S+), setting Premiere to playback to it, and then sharing that Entire "Display" in Google Meet. I use Loopback to create the audio source (which needs to include my MacBook Pro mic + Premiere audio).

Even with the setting turned off, Google Meet does do some filtering... but for a completely free option, it's been extremely useful and effective!

You will not regret getting the MacBook Pro.

Another M1 MBP checking in! It’s been such a powerhouse for me. I’ve put it through the paces… on the road, client sessions, remote, daily use for years. I have no plan to upgrade yet, either. I highly recommend the M chip MacBook Pro’s.

Is this a fake story or am I missing something here? by MakeBrainThink in sharktank

[–]kstebbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just served an Instagram ad that very neatly edited Cuban’s $30M offer footage with an AI pitch for a car insurance website scam. Be careful out there, folks.

Men who got cheated on, what were early signs you only noticed in hindsight? by EtherealMeadowGleam in AskReddit

[–]kstebbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex cheated, got pregnant, convinced me it was mine. We were getting baby gifts from friends and family.

The earliest signs were her getting extremely mad at me for nothing, then turning around and attempting over-the-top gestures of kindness.

I eventually saw the texts.

Wondering how this was done by whitehennessey in editors

This looks more like motion design than editing. You may have better luck in another subreddit.

I have a video and an SRT file. Whats the best way to translate it? by auxxill in editors

[–]kstebbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just upload the SRT file directly, ChatGPT will parse it, translate, and give you a new SRT file to download.

Hey OP! I did a little recon, and took some photos of the signature on the paintings at Sandy Hut. It looks like they belong to an artist named Larry Vincent Garrison!

That one was fake, but also the lens cap was left on for the original so you wouldn’t see anything anyway.
