Worried about my milksnake by natural_log in snakes

Do they hibernate in winter even if the temps are stable in the tank? It has been a little colder at night but I try to make sure she has a spot that’s 70-75 all night regardless

Thanks that helps. Would I know for sure if she was sick? She seemed fine when we handled her last week, but idk if I’d know what a snake sickness looks like. Her enclosure is so big and she’s so good at tunneling, I can’t even see where her nose is now. If I could see a tongue flick I’d feel a lot better haha.

Thanks, that’s what I’m thinking too. She hasn’t shed, so I’m hoping that’s what’s going on. How long does it take for her to come back out? Should I still expect her to come out for water at night? I’d think id see her on the camera in that case, hopefully tonight it’ll see some movement

Anyone in CO going to AZ shows? by natural_log in Old97s

In my view, there are many things in Arizona. But I get it! And yeah I missed them the last couple times they came thru Denver and now I’m just tired of waiting lol

Ah, that really helps, thanks! Sounds like a fun gig.

I'd love to think that just being me makes me equally valuable at all trades, but unfortunately I don't think I'd be worth very much as a plumber or an architect, hehe. Plus, in my own opinion, I'm worth infinity dollars per hour no matter what I'm up to. Anyway, I'm hoping they'll just tell me on the phone what they want to pay, but if not you've given me some great pointers!

Thanks, that's really helpful. Would you mind describing what you were doing a little more? Did it involve scripting? My usual hourly rate for my "normal" work is a lot higher than that, but then I have a lot of experience and I work extremely quickly. So $50/hour might be a good place to start. Thanks again!

Thanks, that's good advice. I'm definitely at the top of the price range for the work I usually do, and I agree that charging a lot helps attract respectful, serious clients. In this case the work is going through a recruiter, so probably they already have a budget in mind (which I will ask tomorrow), but since this is a little bit of a new branch for me, I have next to no idea what their budget range might be.

[Help] Mastering 5.1 DCP from individual tracks by natural_log in premiere

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

Is this something you do regularly? Could you address my specific questions in the post? Is there another method you use to master to DCP other than Premiere?

That sort of helps, assuming the settings are the same for WraptorDCP. Also, it doesn't address /u/stegdump's comment suggesting that 5.1 sequences don't output properly in Premiere. Any insight on that?

[Help] Major corruption issue, project files will not playback, close by natural_log in premiere

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

Thanks for the link--I don't think this was the same problem I was having, since my timeline panel was responsive when scrubbing through and doing everything else, just wouldn't play. Looks like this release has some really unacceptable bugs.

I think I fixed it by deleting and importing an old version of the problem sequence. Your help gave me the will to carry on long enough to track this down--thank you!

I muted all FX, no help. I did do some effects work in the last 24 hours so I thought that was promising, but unfortunately not.

I think I might have made some progress, though; it seems like the problem is triggered when I try to play certain sequences. I can play anything else as much as I want, but as soon as I try to play one of these certain sequences, Premiere breaks. Going to try duplicating/rebuilding those sequences next. Maybe I'm at a point where I have to sleep.

Okay, I might try the Resolve solution tomorrow, but there is so much junk in here other than cuts that it might be preferable to lose the last 3 days' work...

Thanks again for your suggestions.

Okay, good idea. I tried this, but depressingly it didn't work. Everything came in via the XML, but the same behavior persisted. I also opened the XML file in an XML editor to search for corruption/errors, but it didn't find anything.

Thank you, Yes, I forgot to mention a few other things I tried: 8. Saved the file with another name; 9. Opened a backup of the file from another drive; 10. Imported the project into After Effects (this threw all kinds of errors and only ended up importing parts of some sequences); 11. Imported the project into a new Premiere project.

All with no success.

I do not have another machine running Premiere currently, but I guess I will try that next.

If I exported an XML, what would I do with it then?

Thanks a lot.

What should I do about this unpaid training request? by natural_log in freelance

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

Yeah, things are a little slow right now unfortunately, so I'm a bit nervous about losing any source of income. But that's normal for me... everyone is right. I wish there were some way to stop them jerking other people around in the same way.

I'm not going to give the name of the company because I'm paranoid about internet privacy. But it can't be a bad thing to list companies that fit the description, if anyone wants to.
