OSX or Windows, I eventually end up doing a clean install about once every 18 months. They all get bit rot. I do a CCC of my OSX machines when I make them new again but that is more for a quick insurance policy. As time marches on and I use a machine I add software, delete software, change configurations so that inevitably to do a clean restore from where I was 18 months ago takes just about as long as it takes me to just do a clean install period. I opt for the clean install every time for, as I mentioned, in the period of time between installs I’ve modified my workflow, added new things, found that in the past 18 months stuff was incompatible and now with a clean install I can correct things, yada, yada, yada…..

And for that excellent delivery system some clever guys in the UK have come up with the perfect failed delivery sticker:

I thought to review you have to be an actual purchaser from Amazon of that article but obviously I’m wrong. Yea, I read quite a few of the reviews. Too funny.

I’m just surprised that 59 people could purchase a $40K TV. Actually far more as the hit rate of people that purchase vs people that purchase and actually post a review is probably pretty low. Say 1 in 10 respond with a review. That means Amazon’s sold close to 600 TV’s at $40K a pop!. Holy crap. That’s 24 million in just that model of TV. Yikes!!!

Hi Jeff,
Yea I actually did that. Usually, since PP is so fast with my graphics card I don’t render in the timeline as you mentioned. The GoPro is new to me so I was investigating things with it. The fisheye is an obvious effect you get with that camera and it is not always a desired effect. it is far less noticeable when making an outside shot but this particular footage was taken inside so square walls and corners looked particularly bad.
Thanks for the info.

Actually, in checking, I was using the native PP lens correction not the AE one. I did see the option in the new version of GP Studio for Lens correction. I will take a look at that. Just trying to figure out the best workflow for working with this camera. Takes some amazing video but it is fairly distorted.

Thanks Walter, I will look at that. That being said, does it really sound reasonable that given I have 12 threads running on a 3.3Ghz CPU that it’s going to take 90 minutes to render 80 seconds of HD video? That to me sounds just crazy.
Just checked. You were right. I disabled the lens distortion correction and it took off and rendered the clip in less than a minute so it must have been the filter. Strange that it would take that long to fix lens distortion. I’ll have to throw that in Nuke and see what it does there.

Do what works for you. Simply because CC, subscription or having your cc on file does not work for you does not make it bad. Speaking of having a CC on file, how is having an account at Adobe any different than having your CC on file with your web hosting company? You have a web site. I’m more than betting your hosting company has your cc on file and charges you once a year. Same goes for you domain registrar. Same goes for a host of other on line services.

Got the notification and just changed my Adobe PW. That being said, not any different from when I had to change it for Evernote, Dropbox and a number of other companies who’s software I use or have purchased. Sign of the times. Not a reason at all to not use Adobe or any other software but a reminder that using only a single, easy password is like playing with fire. To that end; however, it would be nice if someone came up with a robust secure way for verification that did not involve passwords. Because of things like the Adobe and other company hacks, I don’t trust any of these companies that want to secure your passwords online. I’m forced to keep a spreadsheet that I encrypt using very heavy encryption. I keep all of my login and other important passwords that are required in this spreadsheet. I started this practice years ago and as a rule, I never remove anything from the spreadsheet, even if I don’t use the service or web page anymore. I just looked….. I’m up to 559 rows, where each row represents a unique password.
Good grief what a crazy society we have become.
