@leebrimelow Can't wait to use this to clean up the mix when client rewrites the script in post!

It’s been about 10 years since I last presented at #AdobeMax or anywhere for that matter. Here is my sneaks presentation from last night. I built the experience but the underlying tech was developed by the geniuses in Adobe Research. youtu.be/I5eNmOfVACk?si…

@ej_632 @Thulsa_Doom69 @esaagar This would also affect all the relatives and descendants. Imagine having to pay more insurance because your parents or siblings had tested their DNA

@Thulsa_Doom69 @esaagar man the world is filled with absolute evil people. ty for your response. never even thought of this.

So uh, 15 million DNA samples are now just available to the highest bidder?

@rotub @kimmonismus @AskPerplexity yes, as seen here: youtu.be/enevSuDgf3U?si…

@kimmonismus @AskPerplexity is this being remotely controlled?

Nvidia showcases Blue, a cute little robot powered by the Newton physics engine. This was the „wow“-moment for me. Robots are coming. This time for real. And I am all in for it!

@fredberria What benefits will this provide over Paint and Stick?

I’m sharing this first logo (⚠️ the tool hasn’t been released yet). I’ve always believed that shaping a tool with the community leads to the best results. DRAEW is built to bring frame-by-frame animation and direct drawing into After Effects, and I want to refine it with you, gang. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested in testing the beta and providing feedback. Kudos to @fremox59 for the name suggestion. #AfterEffects #MotionDesign

M4 Max 16/40 128gb is officially more powerful than M1 Ultra 20/64 128gb! @PugetSystems DaVinci Resolve and After Effects benchmarks attached. Gotta rewire the studio, but crazy that it's got a laptop at the heart of it.

@rsgnl @azeem I’m looking forward to testing some real world benchmarks (@PugetSystems ) between my maxed out M1 studio and maxed out M4 Max. Will be interesting to see if a (admittedly £7k+!) laptop can handle a full TV post production workflow.

@azeem Sure, I get the optics, M4 Pro and M4 Max are fastest, sounds obvious, equivalent to Tim Cook saying these are our best iPhones ever every year. … but the M3 Pro and M3 Max were NOT the fastest Apple silicon chips last year. M2 Ultra was still slightly ahead.

@nathitappan Your positioning isn't taking into account the sizes of both lines. The line sizing looks correct - even if it forces the 2 letter name out of comp. Your position expression needs to be relative to the combined hight of both lines + padding to remain centred

AE Expression problem: the goal is to get a name to auto-resize so that the first and second lines are always the same width. I have 1 layer that will have the source text edited, then 2 others that split the lines and resize to fill the comp. Here are the expressions so far:

I find it hard to imagine the hatred someone must feel to stand for local government not on a platform that would benefit the 130,000 people in the community, but in opposition to 723 non-cis people (2021 census) who are trying to live ordinary lives.

Love the new Premiere Pro update @AdobeVideo @AdobeCare

@MitchBernstein I’m a video editor & motion graphic designer! oliverchater.com

Does anybody know who's willing to do video editing for social media? - Not looking for an agency - Make 4-6 social media clips per episode - make 1 intro per episode - 4 episodes per month Looking for an editor for our podcast!

@PugetSystems MacPro has since been upgraded to a MacStudio (M1 Ultra maxed out). And server is now 128TB! Monitors are @BenQEurope SW271, PD2725U, PD2700U. Lots of @Blackmagic_News

Hi I’m Ollie! I’m a Video Editor / MoGraph Designer / Colour Grader / VFX Artist Currently available for freelance work. Link to website here: oliverchater.com Also happy to answer any/all questions about post-production, pipelines, software etc!

@RishiSunak @Conservatives In despite of you abstaining.

I know from the love and support of my partner how important marriage is.    In 2013, many said the @Conservatives shouldn't push ahead with extending it to same-sex couples.   I’m proud we did.

@mack_motion @dash_studio @pipedrive I’ve been freelance for 5 years, but this year I’ve done a big networking push so making loads of ‘who I contacted & when’ spreadsheets! CRM for referrals is a great idea! Will checkout @pipedrive

@oliverchater .@dash_studio uses @pipedrive and we like it a lot. Simple, clean interface with the basics. But even a simple spreadsheet is helpful if you’re just starting to track!

Get yourself a CRM - even as a freelancer. Nurturing clients, or potential clients, is one of the most important pieces in building sustained work.

Might as well post this here! If it doesn’t die immediately I might actually post more since it already feels more like premusk twitter. Just with more data harvesting. 🧵 @olliechater" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.net/@olliechater

@ae_screens By default!

Do you separate dimensions on position?

@Rezqme @PugetSystems @mikeydowdle That’s correct if you’re working in 16bit colour depth. But I might suggest 2min is a very long time for ram preview, for anything that long, I’d have broken the comp into much more manageable/pre-rendered chunks!

@oliverchater @PugetSystems @mikeydowdle Napkin math (correct this if really incorrect) 2 minutes of ram preview needs more than 4x 64gb sticks of ram (minimum) for 4k content (16:9)

Are people out there using 128gb of RAM and recommend it? I seem to keep hitting the ceiling of my 64 gigs constantly when using after effects but 128 just seems way overpowered and unnecessary for making dumb little animations

@mikeydowdle Here’s the formula to calculate how much ram you need for AE ram preview (from @PugetSystems): [desired seconds of playback] x [FPS] x [height in pixels] x [width in pixels] x [number of bits per channel] / 2,147,483,648 +10 to 20gb for other applications!

@mikeydowdle Would have gone for 500 if they had it! But don’t think the 2019 intel Mac Pro is worth the crazy price 😂
