A Day in the Life of a Content Creator

 Today, October 17, 2023, was a day filled with challenges and triumphs. Let me share my journey with you.


The day started on a noisy note as my neighbor decided to renovate. The constant hammering and drilling made it impossible to shoot any content at home. But as they say, when one door closes, another opens. 🚪


I took this opportunity to dive into the world of TikTok effects. After learning and using the Effect House software template, I created and submitted my first effect, “Halloween Pumpkin”. 🎃... Try it... https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSN6yjJrQ/


In between all this, I managed to order a phone ring holder for my wife’s Samsung Fold 4 from Qoo10 at just S$2.90, paid with Q-coin credits. Talk about multitasking! ... https://qoo.tn/B9tiLY/Q100206579


Now, here’s a tip for all you content creators out there: If you’re looking to create a realistic pumpkin with a transparent background, just tell Bing Chat AI to "draw a realistic pumpkin with a solid blue background". Then head over to https://onlinepngtools.com/create-transparent-png to create a PNG image with a transparent background. It works like magic! ✨


I also created a Halloween-themed landscape background for my TikTok Effect with Bing Chat AI. It’s amazing how technology can aid creativity.


Despite the busy schedule, I squeezed in a 20-minute workout at noon. Remember, a healthy body fosters a healthy mind.


The highlight of my day? My TikTok effect got approved in less than 5 hours! 🎉... Try it...

I ended the day by editing part of the OBSBOT Tiny 2 livestream... https://youtube.com/live/fHEDYq8rlA4 ... It was slow progress, but progress nonetheless.


So that was my day - filled with noise, creativity, multitasking, and small victories. Here’s to more such productive days! 🥂

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...
