PS : The proper technical term seems to be called ” Forced Alignment” 🫨

Salut !

As professional film makers, I’m sure many of us start off the subtitling or captions process WITH the actual official proper clean script.

As of now, all options I find involve some kind of approximative “AI” analysis of the audio, resulting in very approximative text, with wrong pronunciations, names, punctuations etc…

I would have…

What a beauty. Thank you 🙏🏼

Salut !

That feeling when you realise your camera has been recording in doomed 1080p 20Mbps for the past 2 days of shooting… Right? … right.. ? Oh I’m the only moron who accidentally clicked on the mini lcd screen in full sun THE button that just suddenly records in shit quality ? What a great feature to have so accessible on a camera !

Anyway,…

Is this normal ? Import horizontal sequence in vertical one

Sorry I just made a video because I can’t believe we are no longer in beta version and still have aberrations like this.

Hi again, sorry to up this, but if there’s no reply does it mean that I’m just tripping and it doesn’t overheat ? Thanks !

Bonjour !

If you have an FX3, could you kindly please share your own experience with overheating, including during streaming for 4+ hours ? In standard 20°C (68°F) room temperature. I’m very concerned about this aspect before buying this otherwise beautiful gear.

Would you recommend a better Sony alternative for shooting/streaming 4K 60fps full f…

Bonjour !

I was trying to find a kind of plugin, or even standalone, simply to create some auto-captioning like it is very commonly done around social media nowadays : the software analyses the audio, converts it to text, and aligns it to the audio giving you the option to select how many words per “slide” you want. Very common thing nowadays !

But…

Hey ! Yessss that is exactly what I meant !

I don’t mind the null going off screen, I just needed to be able to position its starting point, which wasn’t possible with just time*-100, start point would be fixed somewhere.

Your expression solved exactly what I needed, thank you so much. 🙏🏻

Let me go follow your youtube channel or some account with…

Let me clarify that I have come across the expression time*-100 to make it scroll up on the y axis. However this put the null object completely out of the screen and I’m not able to define its normal starting point. 😳 Because Y value is now under control of the expression.

Bonjour,

This seems so simple that I hope I’m not going to get banned for asking it, but I’ve seriously been searching for 40 minutes !

I’d just like to do the end credits of my film using an expression, pulling a null object up (the one all the parts of the credits are attached to), on the y axis, at a customisable speed.

That’s all. Is there an…

I have no idea why posting a simple .jpg screenshot seems to be such a challenge ! 😆

Bonjour 🙂

[Clip I’m talking about posted at the end of this paragraph]

This timelapse was shot using the motionlapse feature of the Ronin-S gimbal. Therefore, the motorized head doesn’t have the precision of a dedicated motionlapse gear, and also tends to be a bit loose against the wind.

I have been trying to find a way to make the shot as smooth…

Hi,
I’m having a hard time finding a compatible/working adapter to record audio from an external mic on my old Hero 3.

Can anyone recommend a good quality adapter that works for real ?
Is this one made for Hero 5 also working for Hero 3 ? It’s a bit expensive but…

Merci !

By the way, when you said “a little ambitious at least at that price”, did you have any other model in mind in a higher price range ? 😲

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the great useful input,

I’m afraid I’m not crafty enough to actually make the pair of covert glasses, but I do like your idea of a 2 part system.

I was also thinking of finding a clever way to dissimulate a gopro because the image quality and angle of view would be really nice if there was a way to hide it… haven’t found yet !

Bonjour,

So many glasses with a hidden camera are either breakable junk, poor video quality, absurd design (the camera mega obvious) and other un-useable random low framerate aberrations, that I have to resort asking… do know of one model that just achieves this simple task ?

Just a decent/realistic looking pair of glasses with a well hidden…

Thanks ! I concluded that for the style of shooting I need to do, I need the camera to record the audio. Otherwise yes I totally agree with the external recorder option giving better flexibility and quality 🙂

ah yes it seems so 😳

Ok thanks; It’s just for recording me otherwise yes I love boom mics too

I’m in France so I’ll have to find it somewhere else :p

OK.
In the 120-170$ budget ?

Thanks TY for this in depth analysis.

Yes I agree indeed about all the additional factors you mentioned,

I am just trying to find a low cost solution for a side project that does not require studio quality audio, just trying to find how to get the best results for how much money I’m prepared to invest in.

I think latency wouldn’t be the worse…

Hey Mark,

Thanks for your suggestions,

I am always in the middle of nowhere so for me renting wouldn’t work,

I liked your suggestion of using a wired mic if wireless was absolutely not needed though.
But then you enter the insane twisted world of using the doomed 3 rings minijack input of your phone to plug the mic in, which in my experience always…

Bonjour,

I’m just looking for a few advice on what would be the best investment for a wireless lapel mic system (in the style of the Sennheiser EW-112 with one emitter one receiver and a lapel mic), in a budget of 100-170 $ max, new or second hand.

The only criteria I need is quality of build (that it doesn’t break in 4 years) and audio quality,…
