Trapped in a Stairwell - 5-min Morning Journal #220326

The bad boss said that if they don’t kill me, I will kill them eventually. So there is no other choice. 

“Trapped in a Stairwell” made with Starryai


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

 I ran from one stairwell to another in a ruined building. In one stairwell, was an injured young man with specs and a long beige coat.  He told me to leave him there and keep running. 

I ran till I reached the last stairwell and have nowhere else to run. The bad people caught up. I begged them to spare my life. The bad boss said that if they don’t kill me, I will kill them eventually. So there is no other choice. 

...End of dream

The feeling is fear and doubt. What could I have done to save myself? 

In real life, I am afraid I am still unprepared for the upcoming presentation to 500 people... With the potential to delay my Lensgo review. 


What happened yesterday?


What worked? Why?

  • Completed some of the tasks started this week. So that I can move on to a new week fresh. 

What did not work? Why? 

  • There is a lot more to complete. My todo list is getting longer. 
  • I still don’t have daily videos. Maybe I need a prompt. 


What did you learn?

  • Answering people’s questions is more productive than creating my own content idea. 

🌞What can be done better today?

  • Strategize the week ahead. 
  • Squeeze this in... 👉Complete Lensgo 384C Mic Review... All of the entire long YouTube version... https://www.videolane.com/lensgo/… shot without talking. Voice over later. 
  • Prepare the mobile editing presentation. 


What will stop me? How to overcome? 

  • Cannot do any shoot revise everyone’s at home on the weekend. I could shoot without talking and voice over later.
What can I share on reels and stories today?

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. 

Note to self:

How do successful people deal with Stress... https://adriansjournal.blogspot.com/2022/03/deal-with-stress.html

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.

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...
