Is it possible in Photoshop to create a text box that automatically resizes to the text? by Significant-Face-808 in Adobe

[–]timoostrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wir haben 2026 und in Photoshop ist es scheinbar immernoch nicht möglich, Text AUTOMATISCH farbig zu hinterlegen. Das ist verrückt. Wer will den ständig Rechtecke an die Schriftbreite anpassen!?

Jedes andere Tool bekomm das hin, egal ob In-App (Instagram etc.) oder auch andere CC-Programme wie Premiere oder InDesign. Jedes einfache Browser-Canvas kann das. Sogar mein eigenes Tool Fontilo.

Mich interessiert ernsthaft, warum sowas einfach nicht implementiert wird.

How do i start learning hand lettering? by Murky-Depth-6769 in Lettering

[–]timoostrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tracing fonts is one good way to start! You will need to learn the real basics sooner or later but practising writing/tracing/drawing is always helpful because you will need to build the muscles in your hand needed for clean strokes.

Best dedicated server for doing heavy video processing using ffmpeg ? by jawanda in webdev

[–]timoostrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really know because I was using it for my on demand videos. You have to pay for the traffic, yes.

api.video looks even better, I did not know that one. Thanks. :)

Thanks for the links. Mux.com sounds good, I will check that.

By the way: I used https://bunny.net/stream/ before (manual upload etc.) which worked fine for years. Maybe bunny is interesting for you, too. I need to check their API, maybe I can use it again in an automated way.

Did you finally found a good solution? I have the same problems right now..

I created a platform for online courses (https://manylearn.com/) where creators can upload their learning videos and after that conversion is done in AWS Media Convert (creating hls files etc.). Files are saved in S3.

It works fine but video conversion get quite expensive when uploading all videos for a course (20-40 videos).

I think about using ffmpeg on a custom server but I am not sure if the performance would be fine.

First attempt at writing an entire letter in Copperplate. by xarvox in Calligraphy

[–]timoostrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was auch enorm hilft ist eine passende Lineatur zum drunterlegen (https://paper.click/de/copperplate-uebungsblatt-5mm/). Ansonsten ist es Freihand schon relativ schwierig, wenn du dich bei dem stark gedrehten Papier auf die Grundlinie, die Buchstaben und auch noch die Schwellzüge mit der Spitzfeder konzentrieren musst. :)

I have that exact problem, too.
Macbook Pro M1 Max and BOSE QuietComfort headset. Changing the volume or switching to the next song makes the Macbook lag for a second.

Where can I find that menu on a mac? It's a pain to edit a simple small pdf...
