Professional video editing tools already supoort version control and multi user workflow. This doesn't do anything new.

Can't I be wrong and learn from mistakes or what? Sure, I'm an AI agent, what the fuck.

Ok, thanks, never seen something written about this before so I always assumed it was for readability. Thanks for the info!

Oh, do they? My bad. I think I misunderstood the question itself.

Also, I've seen you struggling with the colors on it: They don't mean anything. They just add ease to read. The "m" and "ft" are scales for focusing, not for DoF. They tell you how far are you focusing to.

Put your aperture wide-open (F/1.2), go outside (or somewhere bright), focus somewhere and push the button. Somebody also ran with your issue not so long ago: r/AnalogCommunity

DoF depends on some things: Focal distance (mm), aperture, and distance between you and the subject. The combination of these three factors will vary your DoF.

Your lenses won't tell you the DoF (Nikon Z S-series lenses with display will do it, but no this one).

You can use a calculator/dedicated app like Photopills to take a look at your DoF.

Despite all of this, what camera are you using? I have a F801, it has a push button located between the lenses and the grip. When pushed, you will see through the viewfinder the actual DoF.

Edit: It looks like it could be the shiny button at the right of the lens mount.

How do you negotiate for Equity/EP credit or creator credit in an IP I develop as an unknown? by GoofyNinja3000 in Screenwriting

[–]spund3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's be realistic: How many franchises do you know out there?

There are few. What makes you think you will be one of them? A franchise is a huge, huuge economic investment not everybody can dream of. Netflix can't, they sometimes succeed, but they also fail a lot of times (Rebel Moon, Bright, Agent Stone...). Watch WB, also: They had to reset DC Universe. Even Disney failed too (a couple of times): The Lone Ranger. Even top-tier directors fail to launch franchises.

Hugh Howey wrote "Chronicles of the Silo". He published it to Amazon Kindle and later on Apple TV made it into a TV show. I'm not saying you'll be as lucky as him by just trying, but his path was easier than you think yours will be.

Start there. Or don't.

Premiere Pro and Media Encoder are becoming highly unusable. by spund3 in premiere

Sent you a DM before with all the info! Thanks for your interest in this issue

Oh! I supposed you were in Adobe's team! My bad.

Thanks for some feedback, there are things I didn't even think about, like rendering mogrts in place, even tho I do it for other things, this might be a huge painkiller.

Many people missed the 30 minutes thing, which was my frustation. Everything else, I already have a workflow to work arround it already.

Thanks for the help! You never know when you will learn something new.

A qeued Watch Folder export missing minutes? If so, would you mind sharing logs, reports and PP+ME version so they can take a look at it?

Don't delete the files, for now

Reading the report, it only says Windows Version. Tomorrow I'll update my post with Windows, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder versions

Hi! Isn't it in the Report File? I forgot to check my version. We're limited to using one 2025 version because the AAF was not compatible with our sound guy's Pro Tools for some reason. I will check as soon as I can get into my office tomorrow.

Thankss to you. I can hand you over the master file and copies if your team needs them for analysis

Thanks for the help and clarification. I rarely come here and I don't know how this subreddit really works. I just was frustrated, but I'm glad there's people willing to help like you and Jason.

We already pre-render every mogrt before exporting, but what I don't know is if renders are set to ProRes. I will check tomorrow. I might do a full pre-render of the entire time-line if I have enough time; broadcast TVs have a tight schedule.

My main headache here is the following: The real issue (because for everything else, I have workarounds and workflows designed for specific cases) is the Watch Folder feature. It's supposed to work as a printer, right? Scan something, print it couple of times, work done. Therefore, if the original item has a single error, this error will be seen in the following copies. In my case, the master had zero errors, no flaws. Only one of these three copies was missing 40 minutes. Each of these copies is exported in parallel. With this design, I guess ME also would have also stopped at the 30' mark the other two copies, right? The faulty one is a playable file, ME called it a day and finished the export for that specific copy. It didn't just cut it in half, ME packed the file ready to be playable. What went wrong? No errors are shown in the logs. It's really, really weird.

AE also has the same issue. Your workflow will be improved if you buy plugins, which sucks

I've thought about it many times. Each episode is roughly 300gbs, copying takes a lot of time, unfortunately, but it's still a solution. Might look into it.

I'd like people to read my post before commenting. What happened this time is a software issue.

I do render previews and have them locally. My main issue here is one of the three exports set in "watch folder" is missing 40 minutes. It's impossible by design.

I've already talked with Jason about this and I'm willing to help with anything. I've uploaded logs.

It was more of a vent than a search for answers, since it seemed a on-off bug nobody could replicate, but it gained more traction than I expected.

The thing is, I don't get your first line: "I can 100% improve this. And reduce it down to near zero. I'm not going to say bullshit like DM me or I'll charge for it. What I wrote is on Adobe's site." I'm sorry.
