I don't give a damn what they say about @ElonMusk anymore.

I just used his @Grok/@Bot combo to free myself from 25+ years of captivity to Adobe Premiere. I now have my OWN video editor that does what *I* want.

3-4 days of effort on my part. DAYS.

And soon I'm gonna post the source code for free so anyone can download it and use @Grok/@Bot to modify it to their requirements. It may not work for you as is, but you can modify it.

So if you want me to listen to your jealous evil rants about how Elon did this or Elon did that, fevered ravings from ugly minds about how horrible he is, you're going to have to do something for me at least as GOOD as freeing me from 25+ years in the clutches of Adobe.

Otherwise you and your ravings are useless to me.

Be at least as useful as @ElonMusk has been to me.

@StochasticOh Boorman's best, too. Deliverance is close, but.

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

I can answer that. Excalibur 1981, used "Carmina Burana" in its climactic ending. People watched it on videotape years later. Anyway, everyone thought it was a Gregorian Chant. No. And no one would realize 'till years later because internet

Why did we all get into Gregorian Chant in the 90's?

I think I'm getting there, the less time I spend futzing with the video editing software and the more I can spend on actually editing, the closer to releasable the software code gets, I think

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

FLAVE status: I'm asking Grok for fewer and fewer mods, and slowly getting lost more and more on the actual video editing...

Here I am complaining about the clutter in Adobe Premier's importer, in MY video editor.

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

I hate Adobe so very very much

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

@filmgrouch But he wrote some pretty good country songs before he died in that plane crash

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

@KurtSchlichter

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

@narmour I think that's a John Byrne add on or something, but maybe not actual canon? I dunno

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

I don't know who needs to hear this besides people who write Superman scripts, but this kind of thing has always annoyed me in anything "Superman."

This giant monster goes to step on Superman, and Superman holds the foot up. But Superman is an immovable object, right? What *should* happen is, his hands puncture the monster's foot, then his whole body goes in like a nail.

The PSI force at Superman's hands have got to be insanely high. Concentrated.

Same reason Superman lifting a city-sized rock (or whatever) drives me up the wall. The rock would just crack under the PSI of his hands and the rock's weight.

These are things I think of when I'm waiting on Grok Bot to complete a task.

@caldodge The thing is... it might make the movie (or comic) more interesting

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

@smitty_one_each Beautiful! These days I don't understand why Wordpress can't just be jettisoned into the sun where it belongs. Get Grok/Bot to make something way better

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

@IdiocracyNowHQ I think the problem is that it actually ruins the entertainment. The mindless part of it in tiny doses for children is one thing but one after another as an adult gets to be way too much

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

@Opus_Rexx It was a dumber time before the internets

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

@foxx_do @bot Not sure yet! Tomorrow if I don't find any serious bugs

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

Tesla Roadster is very impressive, but I'm FAR more impressed by Grok's ability to act as my personal programmer. I think I'll be able to tell Adobe to pound sand in just a few more days!

The FilmLadd Video Editor (FLAVE) continues apace. Yesterday I hammered out audio mixing, keyframes, captions, and optimized preview playback to the point that it can do 150+fps on a sad old 4070 NVIDIA card.

Unlimited tracks of type video, image, keyframes, captions, and linking.

I can maximize any window (player, project manager, footage manager, timeline editor) to any monitor, have it remember the setup, and not get annoyed by Adobe's GUI where one is constantly screwing up a docker or trying to find where something was. Multi-monitor use especially annoyed the crap out of me, requires futzing with windows that won't maximize, a constant hourly source of blood pressure.

See, as opposed to that other guy who just copied Adobe Premiere (and made a less responsive and more buggy version, from what I can tell), I am making FLAVE to my specs, ignoring the "barnacle features" that encrusted Premiere over the decades. I don't want all that extra crap in the software.

I want lean and mean, robust and optimized.

I'll probably release on Github when done, not because I think it'll be suited to anyone out of the box, but because I think I want to let other video editors download and use @Grok to change it to their needs.

I'll report my progress! I just hope this ear and lung infection doesn't slow me down!

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

@vhshelltv Yeah I saw a few of his F4 issues, was good. Alpha something or other too. But I just lost the time to keep track

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

@vhshelltv After he left the X-Men I kinda stopped with the comic books... one day I'm gonna purchase reprints or whatever of all his work. I was a really big fan of his style

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

@AgimZabeli Ha!

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

@gregbacon Ha! But one big difference - nothing will stop you from doing it. Nobody can add a feature to Adobe on their own

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

FLAVE, The FilmLAdd Video editor, is proceeding apace. Changes in the program being made as I edit the video I'm making about it.

Which is kind of a fun circular "meta" thing to do if you think about it.

[FilmLadd @FilmLadd]

@bot Now I can Edit / Find text in a caption.

I can caption a whole movie, edit / find the clip I want based on the text, like in Adobe.

Player floats above all other windows if it's not maximized to a specific window. Did that in a single build so I could get this cap
