Scott Simmons at PVC on generative AI and graphics issues

https://www.provideocoalition.com/i-would-have-thought-generative-ai-video-could-animate-this-one-correctly/ I actually feel good about this because we graphics artist still have jobs and that means generative AI is not smart and can only lean to do graphics by stealing and distilling other people’s work, and if it hasn’t distilled it, it can’t create it.

Instagram for ipad is finally out (after 15 years) but defaults to Reels so is more Tik Tok than insta

So instagram has released a full iPad app, but it default home is Reels, so it is trying to be Tik Tok, not instagram. Soto get to the old home, you have to hit the button below home to get to that. Now you can re-order that tab to get the default content you want to see, but you still have to switch off reels ever time you open instagram, which is beyond frustrating. If you as annoyed with this as me, consider leaving a low rating on the app, to get Facebook to change this.

The Sony RX1R III is way overpriced at $5200!

No image stabilization. Sure it has a 48 no sensor, but the video features aren’t great and the back screen is fixed. I don’t get it!

PVC In-Depth on Avid Media Composer Attic
