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.

How To Create Incredible Eye Catching Thumbnails With One Simple AI Prompt With EasyAIThumbnail Creator

Prime Day is useful for creators, but only if you go in with a plan.

I’d skip the random gadget chase and watch the boring upgrades first: USB-C chargers, fast SSDs, card readers, docks, desk power, and cable cleanup.

That stuff actually saves time.

Question for Linux / Apple fans:

I'm considering buying an Apple Neo, to dual boot Linux Mint #Debian Edition on it.

Are there any specific concerns with using #Apple Silicon? Am I restricted in the #Linux distros and available packages?

I like the price point of the Apple Neo, and the fact that it comes loaded with creative tools, which I use heavily. For example, I have yet to find a #videoEditing tool for Linux, comparable to #iMovie. Also, Apple devices are elegant in #design and rugged in construction.

Am I better off buying a generic laptop instead? Recommendations are welcome!
