In response to the great answers I received about this question, I made a template that can be used for your next video project to get it organized from very the beginning. It’s completely free. Get it here: https://t.co/RpjWUSE6og

Any chance I know someone in the DMV video industry that is familiar with Haitian Creole and/or knows on-screen Haitian Creole speaking talent?

[Josh Short @editvideofaster]

@AndyDV I’ll test that one out too. Thanks, Andy!

Tried out the new Adobe Podcast thing. Original audio recording w/ nothing added to it except +3 dB on Levels on A1. Adobe Podcast on A2. Only significant difference I can tell is Adobe Podcast just made it tons louder. Had to drop it -9 to balance it with the original. Thoughts?

@markcwebster @iamjimpage haha thanks!

[Josh Short @editvideofaster]

@iamjimpage Thanks for the feedback. Trying to figure out if it's worth the 5 extra minutes to do this for each video.

[Josh Short @editvideofaster]

@iamjimpage Yeah, I hear that now. It's what, at most 10-15% better in your opinion?

@JoshuaLelon Over the past year I’ve learned a stupid amount about cars, engines, racing, and off-roading just because my 3yo’s curiosity.

[Josh Short @editvideofaster]

@JasonMB Same here. I'm on an 1100+ day streak that I just can't work up the nerve to break. Also there isn't another great alternative I've found for my target language so I'm stuck with the green owl app for now.

@kharidx_ Thanks for reading, Khari!

@rhondacthain Just finished Dark (Netflix). It was an incredible, complex story.

[Josh Short @editvideofaster]

@lukeguidici Ah, nice workaround! Good to know. I’ll test it out.

[Josh Short @editvideofaster]

Tested out OBS as it was overwhelmingly recommended. Very good quality. I have a couple issues to work out still like figuring out if I can record my camera separately so it's not flattened into the final recorded file. But based on this first recording, I think this'll work. TY!

In need of opinions on screen capturing software. Been happily using Camtasia for years but need to upgrade my license for my new computer. ScreenFlow is much cheaper ($169 vs. $299). Worth making the switch? Using a MacBook Pro for what it’s worth.

[Josh Short @editvideofaster]

@BlueCrayon77 @dickij10 Only ever used PS’s version and get decent results. Like Dave said, I’d guess it’s similar in AE. I’ve been having to mask out/replace the little gray Zoom name boxes in interviews recently. Going to try it out on the next one of these I have.

I was today years old when I learned After Effects has a Content Aware Fill.

@jonnyelwyn @dickij10 Thanks!

@alisterrobbie Yeah QT is always in my back pocket in a pinch. Thanks!

@thateditorbloke The biggest screen in my area was only doing 3D so that decision was made for me. Honestly can’t remember how I watched the first.

[Josh Short @editvideofaster]

New Avatar — given the chance are you watching in 2D or 3D? Asking for myself.

[Josh Short @editvideofaster]

@woodstock_321 Nice! Completely forgot about this one. The subtitle embedding could be really valuable for work I do with one of my clients too. Thank you!
