A new covid strain again? Thank goodness it's just a dream.  

What did you dream of last night? Does it solve a problem? 

I need to buy medicine from a shop. I don’t have money. So I picked up the 20 cent coin that someone left on the table. Dropped the coin into a ticket machine to buy a 10-cent ticket. I got my 10 cent change. There is a commotion outside. Someone complained her money was stolen. I saw a COVID patient and a patient with burnt skin. Then there is an announcement of yet a new COVID after omicron. A man outside the clinic door distributed square light blue chips to people wearing a blue tag, so that they are allowed to enter. I was glad I have that blue tag with the picked-up 20 cent coin. 

========end of the dream...

The feeling was Calm. Very much like watching a war disaster movie.

Also,  thank goodness it’s a Friday 😹. 


What happened yesterday?

  • Done random clutter clearing with wifey at home. 
  • Bought Professional Live Stream Table Stand Laptop Arm Table Mount Stand Selfie Desktop Stand Monitor Stand Mic Phone Holder... S$166 from Shopee using Citi visa... https://shope.ee/7UaKNsieLg
  • No business work was done. 


What worked? Why?

  • I ordered something online and remembered to use my credit card, so I can stop payment anytime. That's the lesson learned from the dream cruise loss. 
  • Spent quality time with wifey doing house chores. 
  • Though I did squeeze some break time to do a bit of voiceover for my Lensgo product review video in progress. 

What did not work? Why? 

  • No video was done. Wifey is more important than work.  

What did you learn?

  • Success is not just about business. Personal life takes a higher priority. 

🌞What can be done better today?

  • 👉Complete Lensgo 384C Mic Review... All of the entire long YouTube version... https://www.videolane.com/lensgo/
  • 👉Test secret YM product. Remote Yolo livestream source.

What will stop me? How to overcome? 

  • Anything... Do whatever it takes to get things done.

Ps:


🐞 Is today a WEEKEND (Fri, Sat, Sun)? Don't start anything; clean up what I started. Successful people spend family time, Me-time, clear clutter, and strategize the week.

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...
