    Actually there is no reason you couldn’t position the sensor horizontally when the camera is held vertically. It is counterintuitive but it could be done. Or have a sensor that always remains horizontal no matter how the camera is held. That works for a single lens phone but on the multi lens phones who knows.

    Was there a kind of white flicker happening at the end of some scenes? I’ve done things like this before, or used a glitch type effect on some edits to motivate a cut, or just give it a bit of punch on certain transitions. Not heavy handed…and most of the time the client calls them out as errors. They ask, “Something wrong with the encode?” “Did you mean to do that?”

    Were you seeing it too or is it just me?

    I love Martha Stewart colors and years ago I painted our edit bays Nimbus Cloud on three walls and then a slightly darker gray on an accent wall. Love Nimbus Cloud. If you want a soft Green color as an accent, one that has low chroma is Kauai from Martha.

    Although it used to be sold at Home Depot, you can tell them the color name and they will match it with any paint brand you want.

    The Ralph Lauren colors are also very good….softer color, where the Name Brands always seem to be too punchy with the color.

  • Hey Greg; Well then it is surely a small world, because Will Hunter at MPI gave me my first job in Madison after moving there from Hawaii. I too brought my skills editing and animation to MPI starting in 1999.

    One of my fondest awards is a demo reel I did with Jon called “Video: Still the Best Way to Tell a Story”.

    Shape those stories!

  • Ok Greg, there are those who served their family well, loved life and did exactly what they wanted until death, and were applauded for doing what they were called to do.

    I can see myself editing until I can’t move my fingers anymore, or maybe even further. Because it’s in my blood now…the story, where is it? Where is the sound bite that moves the spirit? That is why we do it.

    Sure, it’s a career. But if it is just a career for you, (not you specifically, Greg) you haven’t edited or produced the one piece that connects your heart with the story and makes a connection that nothing else can invoke.

    Bob’s specific references may have been off base, but what he’s saying, as usual, has merit.

    But for goodness sake, be smart and safe…it’s crazy out there!

  • Hmmm…Bob rattled a few cages? Ok. Really, this is our career path. We could work in restaurants, in hospitality or just about anything else. We are all in this together…and worldwide, not just in our communities.

    So, Bob, yes, we all love what we do and we choose to do it because it fits us just fine.

    But some of us are still on our way, making choices and swimming thru life. This kind of attack, by a virus, has us all reeling, and we have to acknowledge that now is the time to be real about what we do, the foundation we all have laid in our career, and encourage others that the end of this thing is continued prosperity.

    Because storytelling, and the means to do so, is what we do.

    And Bob, we need you to help us do that once this is all over.

    Another scenario is I have clients who work with several editors at a time on a project that uses the same footage (years of archived footage) and we are all using the same footage. Several editors that live in different parts of the same city. We hand off hard drives, all have the same footage and our own project files etc.

    I think the issue of sharing projects and media and sequences is the myriad of ways to configure systems, Mac and PC OS and plugins.

    We are a long way off.

    Bill’s not, apparently.

    Where is H265 or other codec in all this? Have we reached the limit of what compression techniques can net on watchable proxy or offline clips? It seems like the solution is more like a simple controller. All media and processing takes place at a remote system with lots of horsepower. The connecting to it remotely the only thing I am doing is sending keystrokes, the remote system does the heavy lifting, encodes the resulting clip on the fly and sends me a very low rez streaming output in realtime. In other words I’m just controlling the remote system. I need enough bandwidth to send my keyboard or mouse commands, the remote system handles all processing and footage I/O and the remote system also sends me a highly compressed streaming clip to see my results.

    Is there any system that works this way?

    February 2, 2020 at 2:25 am in reply to: installing a qnap switch setup question

    I’m sort of guessing, but since the QNAP has two independent 10g ports the switch can negotiate traffic so if only two computers are on the system they can have independent lanes, and when a third is added to the switch it negotiates based on the load of the other two, giving it the path with the most available bandwidth.

    Pretty cool if it works like that actually. Makes the switch make a ton of sense with the QNAP and it’s two ports.

    That said I still love the idea of aggregating the two ports for even higher bandwidth with say a MacPro with two 10g ports.

    Hmm, I still have my 3.5″ floppy discs for AfterEffects 2.0. There are 6 of them.
