From Digilloyd at OWC’s Rocket Yard.
We have all done it, but you shouldn’t because there will always be issues. Personally I always have to wait for SoftRAID to upgrade, so my hard drives work.
Posted this very late again, but always worth checking out.
His latest feature film as editor, Raging Grace, won both the Best Debut Award and Grand Jury Award at SXSW 2023, making it the first British film ever to win the Grand Jury prize at SXSW in its 36-year history!
Cut/Daily #375
A great interview and creator of the BEAM NETWORK. A platform to connect and support British East and South East Asians working behind the scenes in the media industry.
Jeff Benjamin at 9 to 5 Mac has a good article on all the new features.
Great to see them still updating Final Cut, though i still have a list of bugs they haven’t as of yet addressed.
And it really needs to catch up on text editing and AI transcription features, that Premiere and DaVinci both have.
Now the need to add use of camera stabilizers, but this is so easy and actually can shoot in 23.976 instead of 24 (though only in vfr).
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.
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.
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.

So I will be posting again after the new Year. Hope you have a great holiday season!
