A decent number of prosumer cameras allow you to record raw video via HDMI, to an external recorder with a proper hard drive.

Yeah, I'm also not exactly sure how I picked up Z80 asm. I remember leaning heavily on the list of opcodes in the back of my ZX Spectrum manual, but it was literally just a table of opcodes and corresponding numbers so presumably I lea

Oh totally, it's maybe a bit awkward that I'm attaching this criticism to this particular film, given that showing non-white-male people in films seems to be oddly politically controversial right now. I just wonder if the unreason

I haven't seen the film yet, but I get the impression it might be providing role models who accomplish magical feats effortlessly and confidently. I'm not sure if those sorts of role models are very good preparation for the real w

I guess either Netflix's legal department gets on it or, more likely, the reuploader makes money off it. According to [1], "Of the videos on Facebook, 72.5% are pirated. “According to a recent report from Ogilvy and Tubular Labs,

So I'm way behind on developments in AI ethics. Are there actually any promising avenues for mitigating harmful impacts of AI? I'm possibly damaged by reading The Guardian, but it seems like the only options are a) making AI faire

Thanks! I also installed it on Ubuntu and got at least far enough to attempt to import footage so I guess I dodged whatever bullet you ran into. Doesn't sound encouraging, all the same.

Could you elaborate slightly? I only got as far as discovering it doesn't import h264 files, I'm wondering what issues I'd have if I got beyond that. I know on some (probably most) platforms you have to symlink some libs to m

No h264 / h265 import on Linux though, which is a shame as that's pretty much what all consumer cameras produce.

I don't know if Shotcut supports it, but in almost all cases it makes sense to edit with smaller proxies rather than massive full-size video files. Obviously this gets truer if your footage is 4k or more, but it's still true of 10

Consumer cameras generally record video to h.264, which DaVinci Resolve doesn't read on Linux. So that's a deal breaker for me. Which is a shame as it seems like an extremely capable app (if you're not a FOSS purist).

This is a post where people get upset about access to porn being restricted. Calling out offensive language probably isn't a winning move here.

With a few jazzy exceptions, you can play any pop/rock song by sliding an open E chord up and down the neck and sometimes taking a finger off. All you're saying there is that the song is constructed of major and minor chords, wh
