I've started installing DaVinci Resolve for mac and got severe Windows flashbacks. Wizard-based installers? On macOS? Just why?

Sto lavorando da un po’ al mio nuovo EP e, come sempre, mi scontro col problema della cover.

Un anno fa l’idea: usare #ChatGPT per scrivere uno script che converte frammenti di musica in archi, così che ampiezze e frequenze diventassero semicerchi.

Dato che Spotify ha i canvas, ho generato più frame che scorrono lungo questo strano output.

Il risultato finale prevede anche qualche lampo (frame bianchi). I frame poi son stati montati ed effettati su #davinciresolve

Spero che l’EP esca presto

Die letzten Wochen bin ich tatsächlich in Sachen Videoschnitt mit Kdenlive und Grafik-Design mit Inkscape, etc. wieder am Zweifeln angekommen. Manche Dinge verlangsamen den Workflow enorm. Insbesonders wenn man von der Affinity-Suite und DaVinci Resolve kommt.
Dennoch möchte ich den Wechsel von Windows zu Linux nicht rückgängig machen.
Ich bleibe also hartnäckig!
Ich möchte die Lust zum kreativen Schaffen nicht verlieren.

If you are a hobbyist video editor who uses the free version of #DaVinciResolve, etc., why not switch to #Kdenlive? It's #FOSS, cross-platform, and plenty powerful. It's been two years since I started using it to edit #GoPro videos for my hobby #YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@outdoorsyindians. Even on an old #Linux laptop with no #GPUs, I can edit my videos using proxy clips and export them at #4K resolution.

Here is a list of tutorial videos that helped me get started https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrivxE_nvl7cnSPFOIBCQ7w4Ju1Pp6ekM&si=cJDezlxddBm5PZqP

If you film videos of any kind on #GrapheneOS may I wholeheartedly recommend the "Blackmagic Camera" app, which can be found on the #AuroraStore. It's produced by the same folks who make #DaVinciResolve.

It might just be a me problem, but the GrapheneOS camera app (which works really nicely for point and shoot photography) goes a bit glitchy and out of sync with audio when I film stuff, I think because it's variable framerate, and my editing software likes it locked.

I refined the animation a bit to make it more interesting / dynamic.

I also cleaned up the #davinciresolve and #blender node graphs so that I'll hopefully understand them if I ever come back to them

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…

#nle #videoediting

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.

#videoediting #davinciresolve

Proof of concept of another #vfx idea I had in my head.

It's made with #davinciresolve and #blender. The pixels' movement is controlled by a video texture with the velocities baked into the rgb channels (z dir is acceleration e.g. gravity)
