You open a video editor, stare at the screen, try to figure things out, and close the tab after 10 minutes. That’s...

After some years of using #Lightworks for professional #video, I'm trying to learn #DaVinciResolve now.

Feeling like a complete idiot. I just want to align audio from my recorder with the video and cut the ends. I know none of the keyboard shortcuts and nothing is obvious. I know what I want to do, but I don't know where the menu items are. (ChatGPT doesn't know either, btw. – funny they try to charge money for it.)

I love Lightworks. Yet it has a nasty OpenGL bug that apparently only shows on my #UbuntuStudio #Linux machine and I have tried to communicate with developers for 1.5 years or so about this. I simply can't work with it any more. They apparently don't care.

I even own a Lightworks keyboard. Sad situation. I'm not ready for the change. It could be so easy…

People have been posting their editing timelines of late, so here's the most recent Dialtown episode I edited.

Yes, 470 cuts. Videos have way more cuts than you'd assume. Even THAT one that you really like.

I try not to over-joke Dialtown, as the premise is already funny, so most extra clips are occasional supporting visual gags, mainly when conversation drifts away from what's on screen.

How to add word-by-word highlighted subtitles (karaoke-style) to my automated video pipeline?

https://gist.github.com/8ullyMaguire/923eb7da24fc273ac12ba88932fa984e

I’ve built a fully automated bilingual video pipeline (EN/ES) that takes YouTube links, EPUBs, or text files and produces analysis videos with TTS audio, static background renders, and cross-platform publishing (PeerTube, Bluesky, Mastodon, PieFed). Uses ffmpeg, edge-tts, ImageMagick, and Python.

One thing I haven’t cracked yet is adding those popular subtitle effects where each word highlights in sync as it’s spoken — bold white text with the current word glowing in yellow/red, appearing word-by-word with the audio.

My pipeline already has the TTS audio and full script text, so timing info should be extractable. Looking for:

Also happy for any other feedback on the pipeline approach — things you’d add, change, or pitfalls.

Thanks!

The Talk: Matthew McConaughey, Al Pacino & Robert De Niro

Conversations that never took place between people who never met. Video edited by Jonas Hollerup Helle using existing interviews, and I think that's one of his best.
