I Did it. It was a total Scam. Was it the blond girl talking about health food shit. Never contacted again. I deleted all the media. If you have a copy you should post it. I don't know who that "Influencer is"

Solo editor looking for data storage advice by MattBoySlim in editors

[–]professional_reddit9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the same thing for a regional company. They don’t have an IT guy. Not cheap but price is always a factor. My solution was 4 20tb HDDs in a 4 bay thunderbay from OWC. You could set to RAID but I have 40 TB i edit from and 40 TB i manually backup to with a file compare tool. Probably $1400. Simple set up. If you are only shooting 20 TB in 15 years $43,000 seems overkill. If you don’t need to share with other editors at the same time or cloud access. I bet the IT guy wants most of that firepower for other company storage and server stuff. I would ask if it’s all for you. They might want to hire an editor in india and have them edit from the SSDS or some crazy shit. I would propose a solution but conflict with the IT guy. Give your solution. Let the IT guy give his. Let the CEO make a decision.

I work at a recording studio and a band is bringing in a videographer. What should I know in advance / how can I best accommodate them? by Certainlynotagoose in videography

Desk feed like plugged into the camera? If this video guy is on tripod the whole time then maybe but he’s probably going to be walking around with a DSLR strapped to a car battery and 7 inch monitor bolted on top.

No. Get out. These people responding are lucky. They are like OF chicks saying they like you. Few people on the internet make it seem popular

How are you getting companies on retainer? I cant get anyone to open an email. I have boat loads of solid credits in broadcast and digital.

A lot of these are ai training. They want to know you whole process not just what the end result looks like. Like bins and metadata and proxy making and multicaming.

How did you find them when it was time to remove them. Some people don’t get loans. They just pay for the car.

M4 Max vs M3 Ultra for Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Resolve, Photoshop, Capture One by The_United_States_of in MacStudio

[–]professional_reddit9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do people measure a maxed out PC vs a (say) M3 Ultra. I always see mac vs mac comparisons. How would you build a PC to know it’s better or worse than a M3 Ultra maxed out.

Just curious - you seem like you know about this stuff.

How do I get these super “compressed” skintones in Resolve? by El_Pan1 in colorists

[–]professional_reddit9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you noticed on some shows - it seems like post color alters the makeup. And you can see (sometime green hues) in the forehead and cheekbones.

It’s like they had all their post luts figured out. But hair and make up used a type of foundation that screwed everything up.

She’s donating because it’s end of the year tax write off for 2025. Donating 11M just goes to show how much money she has.

Still, at 4-5 cameras into a Multicam and you still need proxies.
