  • We shouldn't have to go to college in order to afford a house by 30.

  • Is that a thing? I'm in Canada and I've never seen a duplex sell as a single house. If you could find it that would be a pretty sweet deal

  • Or buying a duplex and renting half of it

    That's just buying two houses to rent one though

  • What old movies hold up because of a lack of special effects or because clever use of effects?

  • Haha funny you mention that I went to edit in to add my contribution but I guess I quit without sending.

  • This has been a really interesting post. After going through all the amazing films I've become hopeful (probably unrealistically) that with the prevalence of not only CGI but now "AI", we may just get lucky enough to see a practical effect renaissance. There's a charm and soul in practical effects that's lacking in CGI, and completely missing in AI.

  • Check out the M4 fan edit. I recommend this at every opportunity haha. They cut down the entire extended trilogy into a 4 hour film, covering only the events in The Hobbit novel. One of the many adjustments they make is colour correction, which really helps with the "unfinished" feel you're talking about. It's incredibly well done, and aside from a few janky cuts is the definitive version of The Hobbit movies imo.

  • Ubuntu Studio for a first distro?

    Jump

  • This was (and still is) my first distro, made the switch about 3 months ago. I read about the low latency kernel being good for recording but I'm not sure it's necessary. I went with LTS for stability and regularly use Reaper, Bitwig, Blender, Krita, and as of today after getting it working finally, DaVinci Resolve.

    It works for me with a Behringer UV1 preamp and a Scarlett 4i4, but it did take a lot of work to get the audio working right. At first I could only use ALSA, which only allows one program to use audio at a time. If I remember right I have to install Pipewire and Wireplumber and was then able to use JACK.

    My GPU is Nvidia and there's been some hiccups but it generally works well.

    One interesting issue that happened today though was after rolling back Wine to 9.21 and reinstalling yabridge. I tested with launching a Windows app and it screwed up Plasma, seemed to delete it. I had to log into xorg and reinstall KDE. I can now log in with X11 but for some mystery Wayland is just gone. Bonus was that X11 has fixed my DaVinci issues haha so that's something I guess.

  • Funnily enough I just had a big plasma issue on Studio and had to get back up and running with x11, Wayland is just gone. Video issues aren't present in x11 haha

  • Interesting, thank you. This happens with the timeline without effects but I'll look into it.

  • Yeah, I have CUDA. I had it working at one point with the Nvidia 550 driver on Studio, but 570 and 580 results in no video. 550 had a few plasma issues (plasma freezing) which is why I didn't want to use it. I tried rolling back but 550 is no longer an option in software sources on Ubuntu Studio (I keep seeing warnings from people about installing drivers outside of driver management), and it seems like endeavorOS doesn't use driver management like Studio does so it has me on 580.

    Resolve keeps saying GPU memory is full. Best I can tell it's a driver specific issue as it did work on 550. I've been using Blender instead but would love to get the Resolve issue sorted without having to roll back to 550 and have plasma freeze every hour. I'm hesitant about installing 550 from terminal on endeavorOS as endeavor seems to do things different and I'm new to Linux overall.

  • Just installed endeavorOS from Ubuntu Studio (new Linux user as of about 3 months ago). Do you know if there's a way to add the packages after install? I thought I selected the nvidia install, but it was using integrated graphics so maybe not, so I did some manual installs with nvidia-inst like --prime. It seems to be using driver 580 now instead of nouveau.

    I was hoping another distro might fix an issue in Studio with DaVinci Resolve not showing video, but the same issue persists in endeavourOS (keeps saying gpu is low on memory). Running from terminal DRI_PRIME=1 to set it on performance mode doesn't help so I'm wondering if it's a full on Resolve issue. I'd rather not reinstall endeavourOS and lose everything I've done if it's possible the OS can do some nvidia magic after install.

  • FOSS video editing with as little AI as possible, but matching the look of AI produced viral video?

    Jump

  • Honestly I'm new to Linux from about 3 months ago, so it's been a bit of a learning curve on top to learning VE haha. I didn't realize CUDA had versions let alone was anything other than an acronym for using GPU (Nvidia for me) and I now figure CUDA is probably why Davinci Resolve isn't working right. Kdenlive's search for GPU over CPU had CUDA versions listed (mines 12.0, it was searching for 12.3,4,5 etc) which made me realize CUDA and Nvidia drivers differ.

    So long story short, no I haven't checked that beyond looking for how to update CUDA haha. I really appreciate you taking the time, I'll look into implementing python next. One thing I love about Linux, I'm constantly learning.

  • I was hoping to avoid going full AI. Unfortunately these are the YT type videos that AI is completely taking over so unless I want to spend a week on this I think I'll have to. Was just trying to exhaust every avenue before going that route.

  • I'd love to pay someone, or I'd just transcribe it myself if it wouldn't take so long. I'm new to VE so learning as I go, I do audio and the editing process seems fairly transferable, it's the barragement of movement and transitions in these that I'm struggling to not spend a week working on it. I'm doing this as a favour so outsourcing isn't an option. I'll be checking over the subtitles anyway, generating just saves a bunch of time before a full pass over it.

    I'd rather not have hardcoded subs at all, but these are the "no attention span" style videos for YT (constant zooms, transitions, big subtitles, etc) that I have to mimic. Honestly I hate the style haha, but it is what it is. The style "gets traction" on social media.

    I'm quickly realizing why these videos use AI, it's a tonne of work without it for very little pay. I was just hoping to use as little of it as possible and trying to avoid going with Descript.

    Anyway, appreciate you taking the time, I got some sub generation working with Kdenlive but it's looking like I either have to bite the bullet with Descript or just transcribe it myself. The editing for the subs generation looks to be as much work as just transcribing a handful of frames at a time.

  • Interesting. I'm struggling to get transcription add-ons to work in Blender. I've never installed python script stuff so I don't know if I screwed something up. Every time I try transcription it either just stops around 95% or crashes with

  • Well yeah, there are only 4 lights.

  • People who used to vape or smoke, how did you / what made you eventually quit?

    Jump

  • I smoked for 20 years, 20ish cigs a day on average. For me quitting was all mental, using logic. Every time I tried and failed was the same thing: "I feel like I'm finally ready to quit", then back at it a few days/weeks later. I was always waiting for the day I was ready for it and kept telling myself that day was coming.

    4 years ago I was finally honest with myself. I'm never going to be ready. I like it too much, that magic day is just never gonna come. That's when I realized that if I quit, the only way I would quit is when I wasn't ready for it, and if I quit when I'm not ready, today's just as good a day as any other. Logically I'd never be any more ready than I was that day, and if I didn't quit the day I realized that then I never would.

    Haven't touched a cig in 4 years. Crave it every day though haha.
