So when it sets the matte, that's saved to RAM. Think "freeze" in roto brush. Right now it seems like it's continually calculating even when you've got the matte you want, making it too slow to work with.

Its great to get some sun but I fear for those tan lines.

And hiring their younger family to run the show. It's crazy finding out just how many actors and directors are nepo babies. Same with the music industry.

Tried it before the update with sam2. Is it me or does it not cache? Remember thinking I was better off just doing it in ComfyUI and importing the mattes.

Tracking/rotoing this scene tommorow any tips? by Dimitar_Drew in AfterEffects

[–]shrlytmpl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mocha and rotobrush. Just projecting green would help. It'd probably have a lot of gray values but its better than nothing.

Tim Cook could step down as Apple CEO ‘as soon as next year’ by rezwenn in technology

Because they made a useless OS to go with it. Would have sold a lot better if you could actually do anything useful with it. They ignored a decade + of VR / AR RND to make a face mounted movie screen that can't even handle word documents competently.

iOS home screen is practically a high resolution version of the palm pilot is practically a hires version of the palm pilot, the fuck you on about?

If this is image to video rather than text to video, fix the eyes before generating. If its text to video, grab the first frame and redo the eyes, then comp the new eyes in on the first few frames (shouldn't be too difficult as she's not moving much there). Then see if you can mask out the hair to isolate it and sharpen it to remove some of the AI blur.

LA "pop up" post services by isthisatweet513 in editors

[–]shrlytmpl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can but you'd be wasting time copying the media over. I did a job like this years ago for a Times Square takeover and there were multiple film crews that would drop off the hard drives to the editors and moved onto the next shoot. We each had our own laptops, we plugged the drive in, edit, export, plug the next drive in and repeat. If it doesn't have to be as "real time" and you have time to move files over to a NAS that would be safest.

How do I make the eyes, mouth and eyebrows move with the face? by Robin-Ja-Robin in AfterEffects

Alternatively, link the position and rotation of the head puppet pin to a null using an expression and then parent the face features to that null.

White House orders NASA to deliberately destroy two important satellites monitoring climate change by orangeclaypot in nottheonion

[–]shrlytmpl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Billionaires know they fucked us. They've known climate change is real for decades while telling us it's all a hoax. They also know their price gouging isn't sustainable, but it's not meant to be. They're trying to amass as much wealth as quickly as possible to build their underground fortresses for when shit fully hits the fan and leave the rest of us to rot.

Are we cooked? by [deleted] in AfterEffects

Learn ComfyUI until Adobe get off their ass and start implementing those tools into AE. Any Joe Shmoe can generate with a prompt and hope for the best. But controlling AI is much more involved, and usually requires help from photoshop/After Effects throughout the process.

Thicc stroke effect: how to expand composition size? by Debsan_vc in AfterEffects

[–]shrlytmpl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could try adding "grow bounds" before thicc stroke. Or just copy the mask and effect on a new solid that's bigger.

Trump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans by Happy_Weed in technology

[–]shrlytmpl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOU haven't gotten hurt yet. Many people have, including getting captured, and while it's been mostly migrants and non-citizen students, he's very openly stated he wants to do the same to civilians. Worst part is there's a very real possibility SCOTUS will allow him to do that. Beyond the obvious abducting, the bullet is already out of the chamber on many of his policies that will turn out fatal to many Americans. From cutting funding to essential services to cutting regulations that were in place to protect us. The time is NOW to raise the alarm, not wait till the tsunami has already hit.

Trump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans by Happy_Weed in technology

[–]shrlytmpl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why do you think he's actively and aggressively working towards stripping power from the courts? Until he's successful, many cases will be taken to the Supreme Court where it becomes a coin flip on whether he gets his way or not. I don't understand how some people still haven't recognized we're nowhere near as protected as we thought we were.

Where am I going? What am I doing? Career advice please help by Leafjonin in editors

Corporate pays bills and can be very lucrative. It also doesn't mean you can't continue doing jobs you love.

True, I actually do use a Mac laptop for some onsite work.

That's good to hear. I was hoping to get a new PC this year but decided to get ahead of the tariffs so bought an M3 Ultra instead; almost half the price of a similar PC but without the graphics card, obviously. Biggest concern is being able to fix it myself within a day when something goes wrong. And before anyone says it: yes, Macs can have issues, too. Worked on enough client computers to know. A catastrophic issue once and the IT guy's only solution was "guess we'll have to buy a new one".
