https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7Kvn-sZ39s I wanted to do keyframes on tracks in DaVinci for a short film, and couldn't figure it out, but this allowed me to do basically what I wanted with automation. Keyframes would have been easier and better, but this certainly works. I plan on delving more into JayAreTV's videos and you should too.
Liz Arcury at Daily Beast has this article. I just talked about Jonny Elwyn's favorites, but this is another article that hits home for me, as I cut so many great DVD behind the scenes. The really sad part is that most streaming is going to end up with commercials anyway, because that is the only way for it to make money, sadly the best part of streaming will go away. And so many movies are not available on streaming and almost none of their special features are available anywhere. Even the one place that still does some special features, Disney does not go in depth enough. And I miss audio commentaries too. Working on Lord of the Rings was a dream job, but BTS features got smaller and smaller, till they were nothing but using EPK footage, and now even that is gone for most features. It is really sad for film students, and film lovers.
Worth a quick read. It is an interesting device, and it does work well for the Cut page, but the multicam buttons are fucking useless, as no one would be using that many angles and be using this, but the wheel is pretty amazing. Really it needs to be able to customized, or maybe just make a smaller version without all the useless buttons.

From Johnny Elwyn, and I of course appreciate it after working on DVD Extras for years, including Lord of the Rings, King Kong and some of the Hobbit. It really is such a shame that there are basically almost no special features being produced anymore, as they barely have any for streaming except for a few for Disney+. I did love doing special features, but now there is basically only the EPK footage to make very crappy and short special features.
An article from Benjamin Mayo at 9to5Mac. Was stupid for Apple to not do this sooner, especially for iPhone users who have Windows. And to finally add Apple Music integration to the XBOX, which should have been done years ago.
D. Hardawar wrote this article on the long awaited update on the Surface Studio with 11th gen intel chips and RTX 3060 graphics. This was such intesting hardware, but why not update for 4 years, then user older hardware for such an expensive device? Seems like something Apple would have done years ago, and Windows Users would have done nothing but complain about.
This was driving me buggy, I thought it was just Ventura, or maybe Default Folder, but it seems to affect just Adobe Apps right now. Went to Adobe Support Community to report it and luckily someone already did. Thanks for reporting this problem. We are aware of this issue and currently investigating a fix. It is unfortunately affecting After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Media Encoder, so all three will need an update to fix this issue. Any fix will become available in the Beta builds, and then the next public release. John, After Effects Engineering Team You can currently use the mouse to get around this, but it is fiddly, so lets hope they fix it fast.
An article by Alyssa Miller at No Film School wrote this article on Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood being disqualified from the Academy for being rotoscoped, which is total bullshit, as only character outlines were animated. Further proof that the academy is bullshit, and have something against Linklater.
