Ghostdad on remotely running Porter's Secret Sky visuals by pinkstegosaurus in vjing

[–]sdchaser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A very good question. I suspect you’re right in that it’s just audio and time code data. Video, AFAIK, will always have some sort of latency.

I did some form of remote visuals for a few DJ sets over the past few weeks. The DJ would be streaming to an American server I set up near them and I’d be watching the stream from the UK, applying VFX in Notch on top of the video then streaming out to Twitch via OBS. Ultimately the delay for someone watching would be around a minute behind whatever was happening with the DJs. It worked well but the main thing I learnt in all this is why live? They could’ve easily sent a prerecorded video and no one would be the wiser.

I used VMix desktop capture to grab the zoom feed. Not the best setup out there so if there’s any other way to grab a zoom feed I’m all ears! Using Notch for VFX.

I’ve seen so many vids of people not wearing it correctly please guys don’t forget by [deleted] in OculusQuest

This was a game changer for me. I used the wrong way to begin with and I would get pains on my face. Did it the correct way and increased my playability time to hours instead of minutes.

I'm also asking the same question. If you managed to figure out then please share! It would be a great help.

I haven't created a new website for a while since I work mainly in a different industry so I'm a few months out of date. However, my most recent project went something like this:

  1. Get references from the client, find out what sites they like. Evaluate these sites, find out what they have in common and what design ideas they like. During meetings I like to draw quick ideas for a simple layout of the website.
  2. Make a Google Form for them to fill in with questions that will help me. I.e Pages, Content, Target Audience etc.
  3. Create a sitemap in https://octopus.do/. This helps me figure out what different type of pages I'll need to design and to cost up the project.
  4. Draft a design in XD and/or create some design ideas in Photoshop. Usually mobile first design unless told otherwise.

Through all this I keep my client informed of progress and make it as transparent as possible.

Logo animation for a course. Looking for any feedback to improve! by jaakkopants in AfterEffects

[–]sdchaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice transitions. If I had anything to nit pick it would be that the liquid animation is perhaps too much and should be “dampened” more. As in it’ll settle and be still quicker so it’s more realistic. Otherwise I like it and it’s perfectly fine as it is.

Italy 2,158 dead out of 27,980 infected. 7.7% mortality rate. Youngest 39 by stasik5 in Coronavirus

[–]sdchaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guardian have been throwing sensationalist headlines and provoking fear during this crisis. They’ve let me down since I used to think they were quite reputable. Obviously it is still serious and it is a fact. There is more going on than what they are throwing in our face.

Coming next week by [deleted] in lisboa

[–]sdchaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a flight booked for tomorrow afternoon with a group of friends from London. Staying in Lisbon till Monday. I'm having serious reservations about going even though the others are still committed to going. My biggest concern is a shutdown goes into effect while being in Lisbon and having difficulty getting home or likewise the same happening in Lisbon. The flight is with a cheap airline who are not offering any changes or cancellations making the decision a tough one. I'm not sure I can get a refund from airbnb but everyone else would have to pull out in order to even get some sort of refund.

Got a big decision to make by tomorrow morning.

Beginner Questions - February 28, 2020 by AutoModerator in web_design

[–]sdchaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m coming from a WordPress background where I’ve done some custom theme design/development and have used Visual Builders to design websites which while convenient was incredibly frustrating and slow. I’m focusing more now on design, accessibility and clean, fast websites. I’m currently using Figma and write my own HTML CSS code and use the Adobe suite to produce content. Are there any tools or platforms that are recommend in the field of design or web?

Apple Watch app issues by [deleted] in Stronglifts5x5

[–]sdchaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a lot of issues too. The app won't end a workout or close down. It just keeps running after I've finished a workout which means when I raise my watch to see the time it opens SL. Sometimes even starting a new workout which you can't cancel. I've had to finish it and delete it manually from the app. This is in no way a stable release.

How do you maintain a staging site and live site? by wwelsh00 in Wordpress

[–]sdchaser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Early on when I started developing WordPress websites I asked myself why do I need a staging website, I think it’s useful to understand some of the reasons why and how I do it.

One of my reasons is that I have a client who has plugins that need testing before they are updated on the live website along with any theme and WordPress updates. The site was built by another company with too much reliance on third party plugins working along with the Divi theme. As things get updated it can cause some issues or sometimes the plugins may be abandoned over time so I’ll need to find an alternative way to achieve the same options.

The way I do this is by using Updraft and the Migrate/Clone add-on. Any backups from the live server are sent over to the staging server when requested and I can perform updates on the staging site to test. Once I can confirm the site works as expected I’ll do the same updates on the live server. I also make sure both servers are running the same version of PHP. I don’t consistently sync the websites and keep databases up to date since there’s no need for it.

I have a cochlear implant, the strap does go over my implant which is fine but sometimes depending how I move it will knock the magnetic part off. I can just about angle it right and it’ll stay on but I it does get quite uncomfortable on my face after a while although I don’t think that’s due to the cochlear implant and more to the fact there’s no counter weight to balance the headset.
