Adrian’s Journal #191129

End of the week. Nearly the end of the year. Time to wrap up. Wait! Not so fast. I haven’t finished my work.

I had only 4 hours of sleep last night, but I’m feeling great and grateful for a smooth functioning web page.

What 3 amazing challenges have I accomplished yesterday?

Yesterday’s accomplishments were not planned tasks but were the struggles with little things that didn’t work.

  1. I struggled the whole night optimizing my IT Fair web page for a traffic surge coming from SITEX 2019. New WordPress themes have given up on the Next-Previous navigation buttons in media attachment pages. I need them. I had to switch back to the Asteroid theme, but Adsense Auto Ads don’t work very well. ROI: Trickles of Adsense revenue.
  2. I struggled with trying to get my social media apps the post MOV files on my Samsung Galaxy S10 Android phone. MOV files, I discovered, cannot be read by most Android apps, like Facebook, Instagram and Adobe Premiere Rush, though they can be played back with Google Photos. Lesson: Next time, export all videos from Final Cut Pro X to MP4 instead of MOV.
  3. Wasted 3 hours of learning how to find viral posts on social media. Coz they all don’t make sense. They are temporary tactics and lack originality. Lesson: Might as well spend the time researching keywords for the long-term benefit.

What 3 challenges will I complete to make today great?

  1. Edit BMPCC 6K review part 2.
  2. Complete Davinci Resolve video editing online Course.
  3. Look out for Black Friday Deals at SITEX and online: Zhiyun Smooth Q2 (less than S$180)at Qoo10 or Lazada. Also Mistral 1.5L Kettle (less than S$35… S$29 from Lazada), Samsung Galaxy Note 10+, iPhone 11 Pro Max, MacBook Pro 16″. Anker 10000mah USB-C. Tiny thumb drive.

And many many more…

  1. Add a new chapter to Smartphone Video Class. Teleprompter.
  2. Update my Video Marketing Strategy: While taking the time to create a 5-minute video, do the intro and outro first and post it on social media as a teaser. Include magic. Tik Tok loves magic… Linkedin too surprisingly.
  3. Transfer the 5 daily challenge videos to YouTube and WP blog.
  4. Create 5 posts on VIDEOLANE.COM including a DaVinci resolve training, Zhiyun smooth 4, DVD Creation, and Smartphone tricks. Also Google News. YT Q&A. Documentation.
  5. Complete Davinci Resolve video editing online Course.
  6. Complete ATEM Mini Review part 4. Preview monitoring.
  7. Post ATEM/HDMI set up Videos on https://www.youtube.com/AdrianLeeYC. It WORK$!
  8. Post #3 of 12 videos on Feiyu AK4000 Review and Tutorial. Next… FZ2500 and AK4000. Stabilization on. Balancing the head. Shutter control setting. Focus setting. Shoulder strap… Frustrations: White balance, Zoom control, Exposure control.
  9. Download live recording of 29 Oct 2019 smartphone video class. Edit and Sell online.
  10. Document VideoPad speech to text automatic subtitles.
  11. Create a list of missing features on Adobe Premiere Pro. Still, no way to add audio transition or audio fades on video clips in Adobe Premiere Rush. Still cannot unlink audio from video clips.
  12. Sell one old item on the FB market place.
  13. Personal projects: KL trip with Elton. Japan Trip. Kukup Trip.
  14. Discover DJI Mavic Mini.
  15. Visit Bukit Batok Nature Park. For the smartphone nature documentary.
  16. Solve Catalina and OBS issue… https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/macos-10-15-catalina-support-status.111343/
  17. Check if ATEM Mini is available on Amazon. Then place affiliate links in all the video.
  18. Create InVideo Review Part 2 of 7.

Have been journaling on my blog for a week. Nothing’s changed. Still doing things slowly, but with more clarity.

Coming up next… What happened? What did not work? What did I learn?

See you in the next post.

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 Tutorial - Multicamera Editing

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name. Enable scene detection before capturing so that each segment is captured as a separate clip. Step #2 : Layout Video Clips on Timeline Drag and drop video clips over each other on the...

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1.   Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space  My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline.  It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background.   It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX...  2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
