I pay $15 a month for exactly what Krock charges…but I believe FrameIO is a more mature platform with better Adobe integration.

I used Screenlight until it was canceled. Loved it. Forced to Frame IO. Actually works pretty well. I probably use 15% of it but for me it works great. Absolutely hate Vimeo since its inception. Playback is always laggy, not great for clients. YouTube is a non starter unless you have subscription but then it’s YouTube. Sticking with Frame IO but will check out the one mentioned.

Using time of day can cause repeated timecode on clips from the same camera over a two or three day shoot. In these instances we had the cameras all start with a unique hour start time. 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour etc….and we’d increment the hour start time throughout the shoot. Some cameras don’t have timecode so you do get the 00 start on all clips, but timecode will always be useful because it offers an exact pointer to an exact frame in a camera roll. Don’t forget, even if you have two cameras running time of day over a two day period you still have the Date Created to sort which days the clips were shot on. And folders in the editing app should be organized by date shot as well. If cameras could all sync to some global time counter that would be great, but I’m sure they will all implement it in a way that makes it impossible to sync all camera brands this way on a shoot using different brand cameras!

I had this same problem, except odd things like my forward space key did not advance the timeline marker forward…only back worked! Also some of my keyboard shortcuts just stopped working. I have Option-D set to duplicate anything in the project window. It just stopped working after the latest CC22 update. Running Catalina so can’t load CC23 yet. I did the shift launch and it worked for a while, but now it’s back again. Never happened since CC was born. Have to think it’s a new (and exciting) ghost in the machine!

Looks like someone is seeing the magic bullet for successful filmmaking. The trouble is that so many variables determine success. Did you hire the right talent for the script? Were the locations believable for the story? Did the Director and DP approach the script and story to make the most impact? How much did music play in setting the right emotion? All of these factors are determined by sometimes hundreds of different roles and talent. So although a script looks successful on paper, the actual success won’t be known until the final film is put in front of an audience. And sometimes even the top talent can produce a loser.
So data is important, I suppose, but budget sometimes determines what you can do with that data. For example, if I cast Tom Hanks I have a pretty good chance of a successful film, but if the budget is $150k I’m not getting Tom Hanks. How is my success impacted by budget?
On the other hand, if I have $150k with all new actors but somehow the stars align and I have the next big indy film, well, that can happen too.
Not sure a spreadsheet would guarantee success, nor would anyone put their faith in simply raw data to determine if their project will be successful. And furthermore, a passionate filmmaker would not be deterred by data alone if it suggested their project would fail.
Hmmmm.

Check out RAIDS from OWC. I also am a huge fan of SoftRaid and have been running it for more than a decade. Solid as Sears. No, wait….

Are you using Samsung T5s? I heard other brands/types are more fussy.

The new Mac Studio is an interesting option. $4000 gets a pretty solid upgrade from an iMac Pro and probably 5-8 years of solid use. $500 a year for a rocking machine isn’t bad!

The latest iTunes update breaks a lot of things…seems to be Apple’s MO lately. Used to be able to link iTunes songs in Spotify but that got broken. Apple trying to protect Apple. Not looking out for you.

Souped up PC is probably in my future. Too many unknowns and variables with the Apple and Adobe war. Apple wants ultimate control of hardware and software and will compromise other workflows to get it done. PCs seem to still be a truly open architecture (the hope of the early Mac towers) and Apple is not. Their way or the highway. End of life apps that I use regularly, can’t update the browser or OS because the hardware is too old. As a pro it’s infuriating. I have an iMacPro and it’s fine except Adobe depricates the Metal hardware GPU.
Love Mac but it may have run its course for pros looking for a future proof upgradeable machine.
