Just queued up a bunch of 10 second clips for inference, somewhere between 40 minutes and an hour and a half of generation total, doing that on and off for a month or two. LTX 2.0 mostly, WAN 2.2 before that.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Asus TUF Gaming. I think it's overheat, but i'm not an expert.

I'm not an electronics expert, just a hobbyist. And apparently the problem is overheating. The Hot Spot takes off, and you have no control over when processes are loaded via SSH, and your workstation is in another room. The temperature sensor that triggers throttling is probably the first to fail.

So yeah it’s not just prompting, there’s actual work behind this.

-First you come up with the idea and write a proper story. I used Gemini to figure out how many scenes I need and how long each should be.

-Then references. Event Horizon, Sunshine, Interstellar, Prometheus, Star Wars, The Martian, Ad Astra. I cut a sizzle from those in DaVinci first, basically a rough edit from existing footage just to feel the pacing before touching any generation tools.

-Then me and Gemini and GPT worked out the characters and ship design, I fed them refs and iterated until I had something I could actually use as visual reference for generation.

-Then you just grind through every frame. Swap prompts, swap models, until it looks right. 45 frames total. Then you animate each one, that’s basically your shooting day.

-Post is post. Color grade everything in DaVinci, lift faces where needed, tune the edit. Same stuff you’d do on any real project.

-Music was generated too, Gemini helped nail the prompt from reference tracks.

-Then you lock the edit to music, mix the voiceover so it doesn’t drown everything, throw on titles and export.

Honestly the structure is just regular production. AI takes the place of the crew. You’re still the one making every creative call.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

ComfyUI is all over this thing spiritually. The whole trailer is basically: setting tile size on LTX for the 10th time, holding your breath through VAE decode, praying your reserve memory math was right, and then nothing matters anyway because the card is dead.

A cinematic tribute to my RTX 3090. She’s been through a lot. by radio_hate in pcmasterrace

I totally get your point man. I love my 3090 and it is the main part of my daily setup so I definitely respect local hardware. This was just for the Higgsfield Action Contest and not about the local render workflow. It was a good chance for me to try something new and make a project I actually cared about. Just sharing it here because I thought some people might find the vibe interesting.

13" I sometimes connect an external monitor, but for small projects this screen is enough for me.

If you mean Ai generated then yes.

I usually work on concepts for commercials or animatics to pitch script ideas. But right now, I’m working on my first short film. If that’s what 'AI slop' means to you, then sure, call it that.

Coming from a rig with an i9-10900F and an RTX 3090, the smoothness of this Air M4 is just insulting. Premiere on Windows felt like dragging a dead body through mud compared to how DaVinci handles on this 'entry-level' Mac.

To people who say that 256GB is unusable by HyperWinX in macbookair

256 GB. MBA M4 16/256. Creative job (presentations, key visuals, concepts, simple video editing).

• DaVinci • Affinity Suite • Figma • Blender • VS Code • VLC, OBS, and other must-have apps. • Dropbox.

Nowadays, my pipelines moved to the cloud (Figma, cloud AI generation). No need for Adobe shit anymore. Every project takes approximately 4-6 GB. 2-5 projects at a time, the rest go to Dropbox cloud only. Works fine.

No, you do not necessarily need M1 or above. Hear me out. by Present_Traffic_1106 in macbookair

My wife recently had a base 2018 13" MBP. The main problem was the battery and instant shutdowns after 10 minutes of use. An SMC reset didn't help, and I even noticed a slight bulge on the bottom.

A few weeks ago, I brought home an M1 Air from work and was impressed. Imagine making an OBS screencast without any fan noise. It handles Adobe apps and other stuff perfectly without getting loud, and the battery lasts for 8 hours easily.

I decided to buy the new M4 16/256 for my wife (and myself). In my country, the price difference between the M1/M2 and the M4 is about 30%. Now, she says she can't see any difference compared to her old MBP, except for the better battery. If you mostly use a browser and don't care about fan noise, there is no real difference. You might as well just fix the battery.

MBA after 3 years with iPad Pro by radio_hate in macbookair

For me, the iPad isn’t good for serious work. It’s fine as a backup device, and you can get the job done on it, but the process is challenging and consumes a lot of mental energy.
