10/31/2023 0 Comments Fcpx still frameIt must be caching on the first pass, even if it doesn't display them, but for some reason able to display once it's been cached? One thing I noticed is that the first time I play the sequence, it drops frames like crazy, but then the next time, it plays them more or less correctly. I'll try the conversion idea, but I'd rather have FPCX do a better job with stills in the first place. The stills I'm cutting with are the same resolution as HD video, so it's not like they're very high res and need downsampling. You would think using stills would be less overhead, not more.Īlso, making a folder of stills into a folder of individual 5 sec QT movies seems inefficient and process heavy. My guess is that cutting a timeline made up of very short duration (1-6 frame) micro edits would exhibit the same problems. When you bring stills directly into FCPX, they're given a nominal duration (10 secs) as if they're a video clip and so I'm wondering if FCPX actually differentiates. Interesting idea, but I'm curious how or whether FCPX treats video differently from stills in a structural sense, if at all. but I'm wondering if FCPX plays better with compression/decompression of other formats than JPEG. The panels I'm cutting with are b&w line art, so I don't care about color fidelity, bit depth etc. I'm wondering does anyone know what the Preroll/Postroll settings affect in terms of performance? Also, does FCPX prefer other still formats like PNG, TIFF or Targa for playback purposes. I did try moving the FCPX file within all of the media it an external SSD on Thunderbolt, and it makes no difference. The process is more like animation and less like Ken Burns and not at all an image sequence with a unified frame rate. The end result is an animatic/ boardomatic which is of course a QT, but while I'm working in the timeline, I need the frames as they are so that I can adjust their lengths and replace them with updated artwork etc. Sorry Karsten, but the point is to keep them adjustable as stills in the timeline, not bake them into a movie. I vaguely remember, when doing my first steps in FC/e on a Cube, I was told the same trick - then, the reason was 'weak horsepower' to handle so much jpgs. You drag all jpgs into a timeline, export a Master, re-import to FCPX, and add from there? I even opened up Premiere yesterday in a fit of frustration, until I remember that cutting this kind of stuff in FCPX is way easier, despite the crappy performance.Īny thoughts on how to improve performance to acceptable levels? Live action video seems to work fine, but FCPX seems to get gummed up on timelines with just stills. The playback is so spotty that its often hard to judge edit points and timing. Sometimes, it will just skip right over fast moving frames and hold the longer frame prior to the faster moving sequence. But I will often get dropped frames, especially when a sequence has a section of stills at relatively short duration each. Most of the frames are on for about 6-12 frames, sometimes less, sometimes more, depending on the scene timing. The first time around, the performance is generally the worst. It seems like despite switching between Better Performance/Better Quality in the the viewer View pulldown, I get lots of dropped frames depending on whether I've played the sequence once or played it again. I'm cutting very low complexity B&W jpegs (200 kb each) into storyboard reels. When I'm cutting storyboard animatics, in a 1080/24p timeline, playback performance is all over the map quality-wise. OK first the specs: El Capitan, FCPX 10.2.2, Mac Pro 2013 8 core/64gb RAM, Dual 700, SSD Boot Drive, Promise Pegasus 6 Drive Raid

Mark the Rivet Placement on the Leather and Fabric.Prepare the Leather and Fabric for Riveting.Select the Right Rivets for Leather and Fabric.The tools range from manual to automatic.įor faster, more efficient and more accurate attachment of rivets, see the different heavy-duty presses here. We have the needed grommet tools and accessories to attach buttons or rivets to clothing or textiles and other materials. The shaft of the rivet, should be slightly longer by 1/8 inch or (0.3cm.) than the total fabric thickness. Choose a size that looks good for your application.Ĭheck also the length of the rivet which is measured from the underside of the head to the tip of the stem against the thickness of the fabric it has to fasten or join together. The size of the cap is going to be important decoratively as it is what you see on your project. For example, it should be corrosion-resistant if the rivet will be subject to moisture or chemicals. Material or FinishĬheck if the rivet material or finish is suitable for the material or the environment where it will be exposed. In choosing the right rivet, the important factors to consider aside from the design are the size and material or finish. Important Factors in Choosing the Right Rivets They are available in various sizes and finishes and ideal for use on bags, purses, packages, leather, crafts, ribbons, belts, and other materials. Sam Browne Button & Screw - This screw back rivet is not permanently attached which makes future replacement of color and design change easy. Spike rivets - Spike rivets are used to decorate clothes, bags, shoes, belts, fashion accessories and various leather craft. Jeans rivets are placed on areas of the jeans that are most likely to be pulled apart by strain or movement and help hold the fabric together, thereby making the part last longer. Jeans Buttons and Rivets - Jeans buttons are two-piece rivets, that hold the waistband together snugly through a buttonhole. Single cap rivets only have one cap and are suitable to use where only one side is visible, as in the bag lining. A double-cap or double sided rivet is used when a finished appearance on both sides of the project is required. Single- And Double-Sided Cap Rivets - There are two parts to a cap rivet: the cap and the shaft. If the hole where the rivet will be inserted has a larger diameter than needed, use a washer. Washers - Metal flat washers are most often used with tubular rivets as spacers. Tubular rivets require roughly ¼ the force needed to attach solid rivets This hole causes the tubular portion of the rivet to spread roll outward around the hole when force is applied. This rivet has a shallow hole at the tip, opposite the head. Tubular Rivets and washers - Tubular rivets are used for heavy-duty applications like webbing and leather products. Prong rivets of different materials, sizes and designs (dome, flat round, cone, floral, pearl, and other colored semi-precious stones, pyramid, clover, etc.) are available. No holes are needed to install prong rivets. Then, the teeth or legs are bent to the material to secure the prong rivet. Prong Rivet – This decorative rivet has 2 or 4 pointed teeth / legs that stick out from the head or cap and pierce through the thickness of the material where they will be attached. We have different styles of rivets, including: Types of Rivets for Clothing and Accessories More plain rivets that look like studs are useful for more utilitarian projects such as shop aprons, sails, awnings, canvas signages and furniture covers. They’re also available in different materials, sizes and finishes. They are widely used to securely join pieces of fabric and other materials together, such as in leather bags, belts, shoes, jean jackets and other thick garments, upholstery and canvas items. There are many types of rivets and each type is designed for different types of fastening and other uses. Rivet fasteners are generally permanently attached. The cap or head of the rivet is sometimes engraved with designs or includes crystals or semi-precious stones that make them decorative fasteners. 10/31/2023 0 Comments Older versions of final cut procube file in the FCP 10.6.9 package, so you can’t use it in third party grading plugins as an input LUT. I was disappointed the Apple LOG lut is not a. The only thing missing that I wanted to try (I don’t have an iPhone 15 Pro YET, it’s on back order) is grading with Apple LOG footage from the iPhone… I’ve downloaded some shared footage users have kindly shared for private testing, was impressed by the simplicity of having the Apple LOG lut built in to 10.6.9… Here are the Release Notes for Apple Compressor 4.6.6.įortunately I was able to restore 10.6.8 from my TimeMachine backup.Here are the Release Notes for Apple Motion 5.6.6.Here are the Release Notes for Final Cut Pro 10.6.9.For now, assume that, if you’ve upgraded, there’s no way to go back to an earlier version. NOTE: I reached out to Apple for more information and will update this report if I learn anything. I have not heard any problems with upgrades for Compressor or Motion. Given the vast number of FxFactory plugins used in our industry, this is a significant bug.įxFactory reports: “Regrettably this constitutes the entirety of our catalog featuring object tracking or face detection, since developers and users alike have come to favor the Title layer for its flexibility.”īecause of the large number of products affected, FXFactory recommends that you do not apply this update.įor now, unless you absolutely need to process log video from an iPhone, my recommendation is to hold off updating Final Cut Pro until Apple provides a release that fixes these bugs. However, the FCP 10.6.9 update breaks all FxFactory products that perform object tracking or face recognition through the Title layer. Earlier this week, Apple updated Final Cut Pro, Motion and Compressor to support the new log video recorded by an iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. 10/30/2023 0 Comments Duke nukem forever xbox series xIn the wake of 3DR's implosion, eight developers began work piecing together the existing assets into something approaching an actual game.

For those looking for a warmer feel, selecting durable granite countertops may be a solid choice.Īnother minor downfall is that it is a hard material so it can be noisy compared to some of the other materials usually used in residential kitchens. To help lessen the appearance of scratches you may consider brushed stainless steel counters which don’t show scratches as easily.Īs mentioned in the pros these are usually used in commercial situations and one of the reasons is that stainless steel countertops do look pretty industrial, and while that is a look that some people want in their homes nowadays, it can often be perceived as cold or commercial. There are some stainless steel counters that are purposely scratched, hammered or dented prior to installation as a decorative quality. Sometimes this is even a desired quality. However, be especially careful in sections like the sink and backsplash that do not have that luxury.Īs for the scratching it looks scary at first but after there gets to be quite a few and the metal oxidizes it begins to look more natural. Denting is kept to a minimum due to wood being placed beneath it. First off, though we mentioned that stainless steel is durable and resistant, the surface is susceptible for scratching and the occasional denting if you are rough on the countertops. Unfortunately with all those good things, there are a few downsides to stainless steel countertops. This is also affected by how shiny of a stainless steel finish you buy.Īs described later there are different levels of shine and how you can polish the surface for a shinier surface, or brush the surface for something a little duller, based on each individual space and desires. Even in small spaces a countertop would work since it is reflective and will give the appearance of a brighter, bigger space if lighted correctly. With the color and material itself the stainless steel countertops give a contemporary or industrial look with its sleek and shiny surface. This can include built in backsplashes or sinks that will give an even more sanitary area (because no seams!) and a sleek looks without any unsightly edges or caulking. Not only is it strong as can be, but it also will fit right into your home, the material is easy to work with and is custom made to your kitchen. This is a product often used in commercial kitchens due to its non porous surface that means nothing can really penetrate it – which makes cleanliness a taken care of factor. This includes but is not limited to: water, heat, stains, etc. Stainless steel’s best characteristic is that it is extremely durable and resilient to almost anything (hence stainless). There are a ton of things to brag about when it comes to stainless steel countertops. Pros and Cons of Stainless Steel Kitchen Countertops

He prefers the half hour just before dark. Les Johnson is perhaps the best coyote caller in the country, and he relies entirely on prey distress calls. to 2 p.m., and then dusk, each of which got about 20 percent of the vote. Only 10 percent of respondents in a recent poll of about 1,400 coyote callers said dawn was best. Spend at least 30 to 45 minutes on stand.Īnother important factor is the time of day you target coyotes. The takeaway? One of the biggest mistakes you can make with a distress call is leaving a location too soon. One wary old alpha pair (the male was 10 years old) waited 17 hours before approaching the calling location, and then spent 45 minutes at our stand site sniffing around. They would later approach our stand area to investigate. Upon hearing the initial prey distress cries, the test coyotes would usually run to a downwind position without exposing themselves and remain there until we left. Every six weeks the coyotes were trapped, whereupon their collars were fitted with fresh batteries, and the tracking information in them was downloaded and reproduced in a computer animation. In 2005, a predator-research biologist gifted me with a major opportunity when he invited me to call coyotes for him at the Idaho National Laboratory research area, where he was studying a large number of GPS-collared coyotes. He’ll wait downwind of the coyote howl before slowly slinking in, wary nose to the air. A pressured coyote, however, will take much longer to approach a call. An unpressured coyote will often come in quickly and boldly to almost any distress sound. The manner in which a coyote approaches a distress call depends on its security level, which is influenced by its latest experiences. Knowing this, it doesn’t matter much which sort of prey distress call you use–most modern electronic callers offer everything from a whitetail fawn to a house cat–as long as you set up within a coyote’s earshot. Studies of stomach contents have found that coyotes will swallow almost anything that they can get in their mouths, including rocks, plastic packaging, harness buckles, and even the occasional rabbit. Getty ImagesĬoyotes are nature’s great omnivores. Prey Distress Prey distress calls will bring coyotes slinking through cover. Follow these expert tips and strategies on how to call coyotes. So don’t just start pressing random buttons on your e-caller. Understanding exactly what the different sounds mean to the coyotes you’re calling will make you more effective. Coyote behavior changes throughout the winter and through their breeding period. But if you really want to step up your game, you need to first understand what makes coyotes tick. Thanks to the prevalence of electronic calling devices, anyone can become a decent coyote caller with the press of a few buttons. If you want to call in coyotes, you've first got to know what makes them tick. 10/30/2023 0 Comments Edge of eternity achievementsWell, if it's a global -20%, then it would make the 95% a joke, erase the good challenge of the 4% and make the 1% maybe doable. So now we could change the HP in general. This is just an example and changes are already planned, but there are more fights, that are similar to this. Well, now we could say "the game warned you!", but the time spent from the point of no return to this fight is way to long. Beating 50 encounters for maybe one more level won't do much. More levels is also no option, because of the dimishing return. New dropped crystals won't do much, because at this point, you should be full of dropped crystals. There is no way to craft new equipment or melt crystals, because it's a small "point of no return". The problem with the story fight is, you can't prepare more. One is optional (just do it later, mark it as a quest with higher lvl needed) and one is a story fight. Again mostly fights, where you can't get a preemptive strike in. Here are good equipments, levels and crystals needed.ġ% of all fights are unfair. So a lot of forced battles and some random encounter. Those are fights, where you can't get a preemptive strike in or you get some bad positioning due the area. Nightmare should be a "use everything at your disposal".Ĥ% of all fights are really hard. Those fights are still manageable, if you payed attention to your equipment and crystals. In nightmare, I expect, that I'm in trouble, if I don't get a preemptive strike in. You have to see it from a different view.ĩ5% of all fights are easy. Originally posted by Kaldorei:I wonder if giving the initiative to players in nightmare (starting with full atb) could solve some issues by allowing the player to preemptively mode and avoid some oneshots while still being difficult I’m going to start chapter 4 today, and if what Jen says is true, then I’m not looking forward to chapter 5 and beyond’s cakewalk. It should be able to continuously provide a worthy challenge. I guess what my bigger point is is that I don’t want to feel like I’m just steamrolling everything on the maximum difficulty, that seems like a pretty big balance issue to me. I wouldn’t describe anything so far chapter 1-3 as “hell”, though, it’s been mostly tame with a few spikes, like the three legendary hunts in chapter 2, or the level 19 penitent guy from the side quest at the end of chapter 2, but that’s expected, as they were supposed to be challenge fights. Once I actually got to make moves, the fight wasn’t too bad, it was just getting to move in the first place that was the hurdle. Or they couldn’t, if they didn’t feel like it. Now, the fight where there were three of them during the side quest? That took a few resets, since they got spam happy with their volley of missiles attacks and shooting, they could easily kill both Daryon and Selene before I got a turn. The drone didn’t bother, I pretty much one-shot it after it triggered a mine, and then Myrna went down easily afterward. Selene at least is squishy, but Daryon would just mow her down. My reaction in that fight was, “.seriously? This is going to be even more of a joke than the fight just a little while ago with Selene.” And it was. It didn’t really bother at all during the Myrna fight. It does make a certain amount of sense that as you get better gems and equipment that the game becomes easier, of course, but unless you can specifically balance each enemy, or even by chapter, I feel like global tuning isn’t really the answer.Īs for the drone, it’s a matter of RNG I guess. 10/30/2023 0 Comments Forklift operator job descriptionEducation In addition to your highest education credential (e.g., high school diploma), include any vocational training you’ve had in areas such as materials handling, as well as any related certifications or licenses, such as a seat down forklift operator certificate.For example: “Pulled and prepared 50+ products a day for shipment, consistently meeting customer service standards” makes more of a statement than “Pulled and prepared products for shipment.” Work History Stress your achievements and quantify them using numbers - this will give them more impact.Make sure to include soft skills that are important for the production industry, such as attention to detail, multitasking, and critical thinking.

It was so good, within months Wexler was bringing artists like Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin down to this Northern Alabama town on the Tennessee River and leaving with hits.
