@EdzusSterns @elonmusk X is not ‘everyone’! Thats the problem when you listen to an echo chamber and not the people.

Big shout out to @OctopusEnergy for the amazing Power-ups incentive. We added 123kWH of free energy in December giving us around 490 miles of range. That equates to a normal evening charge cost of £9.22 or around £70 in petrol.

@tillathenun I’d say it was a fair opinion. Tesla offers a great solution to anyone who doesn’t want to plan journeys and worry about charging locations. As somebody who is good at planning journeys to provide pleasant charging stops it’s not going to compete with your bespoke functionality.

@KateFantom @PolestarCars @Tesla Yup, the lights in the model Y are terrible for other drivers in the UK. The super bright matrix zones don’t get out of the way at all.

@Swoon_Jon @Blackmagic_News Thanks, I’ll check that out.

After another frustrating day trying to animate objects in #FCPX I'm seriously considering trying
@Blackmagic_News Resolve Studio. So tell me, how is key-frame based object animation in Resolve? What will I miss the most from FCPX other than PR RAW?

@mondovideo @Blackmagic_News I’m animating compound clips, how does that work with motion?

[Paul Joy @pjoy]

@chrisatlatenite @Blackmagic_News @Alex4D I’ve used grow/shrink a few times but not checked out the others, will have a look.

Thanks @Tesla for the gift today. Happy 10th anniversary of Superchargers in Europe. #Tesla #FreeMiles

@vimeo is there a way to stop the popup prompting people to download the vimeo app whenever they open a video url in a browser? It's really annoying as you don't need the app just to watch the video.

@raymasseytweets @CarDealerEd @Jim_Holder @CarDealerMag @QuentinWillson @TheAACars @SMMT This road we’re on is burning and people are suffering because of what we’ve done. I think we need to head towards a better solution as quickly as possible. We still have 12 years of new ICE vehicles ahead of us, if anything we should be ashamed that’s the best we can do.

@evmanuk Yup, sentry mode is reassuring but losing a miles range for every hour the car is doing nothing is hard to ignore.

@SidneyDiongzon @Adamski I’ve tried a few and honestly if it’s really important not to have colour cast or cross pattern in shots then I’ll only use solid ND and ride the iris a bit for small adjustments.

[Paul Joy @pjoy]

@pulpjedi @Adamski That doesn’t seem to be it unfortunately. Here’s a quick test I did, top block is a linear transform, middle is smooth transform and bottom is a distort. Notice how the distort has the most smoothing of all three.

[Paul Joy @pjoy]

#fcpx editors I need your help again. When key framing distortion on a clip FCPX adds easing at each key frame but it doesn’t seem to be possible to change it to linear like you can with transform key frames. Is there a way?

[Paul Joy @pjoy]

@pulpjedi @Adamski It certainly looks that way. I needed to key frame a perspective change on an overlay but distort makes the corners look like they are wagging with acceleration and deceleration in to each key frame.

@chrisfenwick I read a while ago it’s because the grid can’t handle or doesn’t need the additional power so they stop them because it’s easier than switching off a power station.
