StopTheScript for Safari, is my new go to extension

From Jeff Johnson of Underpass App Company, this works in safari in iOS and Mac.

This app stops Javascript from running on pages, and I use it to block sites that make you turn off content blockers before you can view the site.

I know sites need revenue, but random ads only annoy me, and some of that is that I edit commercials, so I know the tricks and they just annoy me! So i block them and making me turn off my content blockers annoys me even more!

This takes a little effort and a little work, but it does what it says (and some pages break when you stop the scripts), and I love it.

CUT/DAILY #374 – After Effects for Everyone

After Effects is actually one of the most valuable creative programs to learn as an editor.

CUT DAILY #374 – After Effects for Everyone

It is so true, every editor should know After Effects. Honestly I mostly don’t even consider doing any graphics in my NLE and just jump into after effects, but I have also been using it for well over 20 years now, and am always learning something new. So spend sone time and learn something new.

Hope everyone had happy holidays

I took longer than I thought I would off, so sorry about that.

My mon was here, which was awesome! We watched allot of movies and went to the Academy Museum.

The Museum is great, though like the redone Peterson, it feels like they wasted a bunch of space, as though architecture was more important than the museum itself And the second floor is confusing to navigate (we kept having to loop back). The John Waters exhibit was fantastic and so in depth, and the science fiction room is just unbelievable, though i wish it was an entire floor!

Anyway had a great holiday, and hope you all did too.

Motion Array has an excellent DaVinci Resolve Green Screen & Chroma Keying Tutorial

As always from Motion Array it is in depth and really a good tutorial, so check it out.

This is for Chroma Keying with the color page, which is very powerful. Of course I have been going further with the Fusion page (necessary for some of the keying i am doing for my next short), but that is another step ahead.
