hopeful that one more day of picking at this animation will get me over the finish line!

Whatever project you're too afraid to start, just go for it

I know a lot of my posts lately have been video/content creation-related but I just want to say:

The learning curve that I have had to climb in the past week alone has been both frustrating as hell and ridiculously rewarding.

Already, I had to refresh my memory on basic video editing and sound comping, but for the first seven episodes of my little series I’d accepted the average quality of my voice recording as cest la vie, I’m not sinking money into this without proof of concept, you’re supposed to be a little rough around the edges when you’re first starting out. But one thing I couldn’t get over was the clipping from some technobabble shenanigans with frequencies that isn’t important here.

What I thought was a quick fix—replace and double the RAM in my laptop—was absolutely not the source of the problem and suddenly I was in the deep end trying to fix broken audio in post while also troubleshooting an issue no one else seemed to have between my microphone and my recording software and I was about tempted to just use my desktop mic, the built-in, because at least I could somewhat fix that in post.

After far too many hours deep in discussions with strangers on the internet who were very helpful, I half-fixed the problem. My mic stopped clipping, but it was distorting pretty heavily between two different processers and my recording software hated it for a whole different reason.

Reluctant Plan B was to record gameplay live, but record audio separately/after and then sync them in post. If you’ve ever made a gaming video like these, you’re staring at probably 15+ clips of useable content over the course of recording sessions, which means 30+ clips with all the separately recorded audio, and since I can’t hit start/stop congruently with both programs, they would always be a little bit off, which meant more tedious editing.

Why? Because I was recording in Program A, fixing audio in Program B, and editing the video together in Program C, and Program C is for like, tiktoks, not professional youtube videos. I was only using it because I was already paying for it in an Adobe package with InDesign.

Enter DaVinci Resolve.

It’s like, Photoshop compared to MS Paint, a free one-stop-shop for video and audio editing (and visual effects, this thing is used to make blockbusters) and here’s me still confused by all these audio terms like ratio, attack, threshold, etc.

So I’m still wading through tutorials, all while my mic only works through Program B, Audacity, with an episode deadline looming over me. From the time I committed to initially fixing my audio by replacing the RAM, to episode release date, I had 6 days. Today is day 4.

And I’m still without a proper recording setup because Program A hates my microphone. But I am not missing this deadline, not just for the youtube algorithm, but because I know I can make it.

So episode 8, at the time of writing this, I have only 9 minutes and 25 seconds all edited and ready to go, out of 22-24 that I usually publish. So what have I done?

Fuckin’ taught myself DaVinci Resolve and committed to recording my vocal track in post just this once, doing it over and over again until it sounds as genuinely live as it can, and doing regular voiceover and music montages wherever else I can to fill the time with meaningful content.

All to buy myself time for my replacement mic to deliver so I can get back to proper live recordings, because at this point, the time it takes to fix terrible audio in post isn’t worth it, when I can spend a little bit of money for a mic that isn’t 8 years old and is built for gaming, not podcasting (but I am keeping the problem child as a backup, because it’s not broken).

I’m waiting for a timelapse to render while I write this, staring at a workflow with one video source and 3 different audio layers—game sound, vocals, and music—and I can almost turn my brain off when trimming things because that part I already know how to do.

This thing is a mess, to be clear, but it sure as hell won’t look like a mess when I hit publish on time two days from now.

But like…. 3 weeks ago I knew next to none of this, beyond basic video editing I learned back in college. And here I am with my double-wide monitor up and professional video making software quietly churning along in the background.

So just—if you want to do it? Go fuckin’ do it. Whatever it is that you’ve been holding off on pursuing. When I started I already owned things like a gaming laptop (that I bought to run photoshop so I could paint), an 8-year-old podcasting mic from a dropped podcast attempt, my game of choice, and I was already paying for the bare bones version of Premiere: Premiere Rush.

But heck, even if I had none of the fancy equipment, the only limiting factor would have been my computer’s processing power to run all these programs at once, and I would have figured it out.

I’m a perfectionist bound and determined to fix my audio, but I didn’t hear any complaints when it was jank, and I’m learning all this because the whole process, not just the gameplay, is just so fun and fascinating.

Im tired of this...Why are we still making blogs on Vivziepop's shows instead of VIDEOS about Viv herself?!

Its a waste of time!

We keep talking about the same thing on Tumblr while the creator gets away with God knows what!

We need more ABOUT VIV! VIDEOS! DOCUMENTS! Not giving her shows attention in some Tumblr bubble! What good does that do?! Honestly, what good does that do when we could be branching outside of Tumblr! Be getting her shows less attention and a lot less hate views (thousands of them) and instead focus on Viv herself in places people can actually see! Stop standing around and do something! Seriously, its becoming a problem!

Think that you dont have the resources or editors? Think again!

Just use Davinci Resolve editor, its free, make a thumbnail on canva, commission someone to do both if you got the money and BOOM NEW VIDEO ABOUT VIVZIEPOP

Think that you 🫵 dont have the time, energy or money? Free editors exist, you can make thumbnails out of canva starters, and if you have enough time to blog for days on end you 🫵can make a video!

Unless youre sick... no excuses, ive already collabed to make this

( tw: Sexual Harassment mention)

It took me only an hour!

ONE HOUR! Are you telling me that you cant make a video on VIVZIEPOP?! Some random lady online? She's not the Taliban this is Viv were talking about! The majority of this community has no excuses! None! So no need to be scared of that 🤡!

Especially when you're already public!

Constantly making posts is only going to cover up the evidence, so we might as well make a video instead. so go make a video!

2024 AMV Review

[2022] [2023]

2024 felt like a huge video editing year for me. It was characterized by three major developments:

Submitting to contests

Editing MMVs (Manga Music Videos)

Participating in timed challenges

For contests, I maybe really threw myself into the con contest scene (that is, for AMV contests that take place at conventions) after sparking a heated discussion about submitting personally captioned videos for the sake of better accessibility. An initially stressful situation ultimately became one of overwhelming support, and I've since become more involved with this part of the AMV community, which has been so kind, encouraging, and inspirational. I'm certain I wouldn't have made the strides in my editing that I feel like I made in 2024 had it not been for the community.

In fact, the last two developments on my list are purely because of the community. It was the community who pushed me into making MMVs; after signing up for an MMV exchange (check out the video Violet Skies gifted me here!), I practiced MMV-like skills with an AMV/MMV ("No Choir") and also made my first full-blown MMV in DaVinci Resolve ("15 Min Flame"), which involved thinking in a more motion graphics way and utilizing my program's 3D camera, something that maybe looks a little wild (but is sincerely less complicated than it seems!):

Incorporating more motion graphics and manga panels into my work then became almost "standard" for me. Four of the six AMVs I made for Project Org Editor (POE)—of which none are unfortunately in this reel because they remain unfinished, but you can check out a preview here—utilized a fair amount of manga as well.

And that brings me to my last development: participating in timed challenges. POE is a biennial video-editing tournament with six preliminary rounds in which participants have one week to edit a video to a theme. I took part in every round (always with a Detective Conan video because I think I'm hilarious), but it was actually my second timed challenge in the year. The first was SLICE (Short Little Iron Chef Edits), wherein participants had about four days (100 hours) to create a video set to a song from a list of songs only revealed at the start of the challenge. "If You Kill Me" was my entry, and I finished it pretty much to my satisfaction by the end of the 100 hours, so I thought I would do even better with POE.

But POE was extremely hard on me. I finished nothing, never scored above mediocre, and had a meltdown after Round 2, where I must have cried all day after submitting an entry that I hated (and won't be revising). It was my most difficult video editing experience thus far—emotionally and physically, as I sacrificed sleep to edit and wound up sick by Round 6. I really wanted to stand out and impress, but... I wasn't there yet.

And that probably describes my feelings about my AMVs in 2024 better than anything else: not there yet. There's been a lot of growth in my skills, in my eyes; there's the aforementioned MMV experience, where I practiced 3D camerawork as well as manga animation for the first time, but I've also made longer videos, utilized "Twixtor" effects ("Feel About You"), learned how to make my own VHS tapes for the ultimate VHS aesthetic ("Eyelash"), and continued to work on my pacing and compositions (even if I still have a long way to go with the pacing and even intentionally made it "worse" as an experiment once). Videos from 2022 and 2023 that I used to be so proud of almost became painful, and I'm overall much happier with everything I made in 2024.

But whenever I'd make finals in a contest—which happened at seven cons (green text in the video, with yellow being when I didn't make finals but still had a video exhibited, which happened at six cons)!—I knew I had no chance of winning a category, and I have yet to. Because I'm not there yet. I'm satisfied with most of my videos from 2024, but they don't feel special enough. Good, maybe, but not great. For POE and Anime Frontier, where I entered nothing but Detective Conan videos, I captured attention for my dedication to the franchise, but the AMVs themselves still feel lacking.

In thinking about 2025, I've been thinking about what it means to be there. I've been thinking about how to measure growth, as measuring the times I make finals, or my note counts, or YouTube likes, or even scores I get in tournaments like POE, don't seem to be healthy ways of defining development (especially when what makes finals at cons might not really correlate with what's most beloved online, with "If You Kill Me" being my most successful con video of 2024 but "Nosedive," which never made finals once, being my most successful video on the web). Conversations with others (thank you!) have provided a wealth of wonderful suggestions for considering growth: trying new things, doing easily what used to be difficult, finding joy in your work.

And in 2024, I do think I made progress in all those things! But being there goes back to my question of what is good art?, and, well, I think I'll need to continue working on defining what that means to me.

Still, my major goal for 2025, at this time, is to be less hard on myself. As my videos have become longer and more elaborate, they've taken more time to complete, with each AMV in this reel (excepting maybe one) representing at least 30 hours of work, with many being 50+-hour efforts. That's a fair chunk of time, but I still beat myself up for "not doing enough" or "not completing enough videos," which isn't fair to me.

It's regrettably not something I did for 2023, but my year-end DaVinci Resolve hour count for 2024 (counting time from when I first got this computer in late August 2023) is 1,107 hours!

The earliest total-hour screenshot I can find is 666 hours in July 2024, so this means I spent, at the very, very minimum, over 441 hours in Resolve in 2024. And dedicating that many hours to improving my craft isn't nothing!

In the end, I am sad that there are only 12 videos in this reel when I at least started brainstorming and drafting for 9 more. But all the improvements I made, all the ways I challenged myself, all the seeing things like this at cons, in person, on the big screen... that's worth celebrating.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me so far. I hope to post even "better" videos in 2025—ones that are there!

fucking davinci resolve I just want to work on my video why do I have to learn a whole new program I hate it here just let me edit

[crazyufokid]

GAH im so happy rn (read more is hiding a wall of rambling)

im pretty sure i finally found a passion i can truly pursue and stuff

i started video editing like, 8 months ago now? i think? the software i've been using is something called openshot, it's simple but i was able to do some pretty neat stuff in it. it took a while for me to learn how to use it and get used to but it was satisfying. i'm really proud of the videos i've made with the software and the smiles they gave to people brings me joy.

and today, i downloaded davinci resolve, and it looks SO different, there's SO much in it but like. i dont feel overwhelmed about it at all. i feel excited actually! i cant wait to learn more about this software and what i can do with it!

idk

ive been struggling alot lately, like, emotionally. feeling scared and worried about the future cuz. it didnt seem like there was much i felt comfortable doing. like, DOING. but i felt something click again. i havent been doing much editing lately cuz ive been busy with college, but its ending very soon.

i remember when i was making timmy dibby monkey hour, i was so hyperfocused on making that thing it was everything to me. it was hard work (it was the first ytp i made after switching to my laptop, and the first one i uploaded on youtube since my super short knew barely anything about editing entry for schaffrillas' super mario sunshine collab) and the result is something im still soso proud of.

idk i just. felt the need to make a post rambling about this. i never talk about my personal life or anything like that, and although this isnt like, super super personal (the emotional struggle mention was brief and vague... im feeling better now! obviously). i just want to celebrate this feeling of being pulled out of despair by this... thing i lovelovelove doing idk

im just looking forward to my future now. i hated college (the one i went to didnt have video editing courses AT ALL which. yeah. mega bummer for me rip) and now that im gonna be out im just. gonna go all in on this as best as i can!!!! idk what im gonna make first but i wanna start a project in davinci resolve and then im gonna make more projects and more projects and uh uh uhm its gonna be cool and epic and im gonna work hard and its gonna be tedious and stressful but im gonna laugh as im editing together a funny bit and im gonna feel accomplished and fulfilled when its all done and im gonna make my friends laugh with my videos and im gonna make strangers laugh when youtube decides to make the stars align for it on their for you pages and and and uh uh uh IDK!!!!!!!! NEW BURST OF EXCITEMENT NEW BURST OF CURIOSITY NEW BURST OF CONFIDENCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BREAKS TABLE PUNCHES HOLE IN WALL WWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

its wacky for me to believe that theres more learning ahead of me and im actually excited to reach my hands in and explore instead of the dread college had cursed me with

[omamervt]

man I'm starting to remember why I hate editing stream footage.

Even when I'm just trimming the fat on a mostly-talking segment (even if the end result will still likely be 20+ minutes long), only half my audio editing tricks work because there's this pesky visual component to worry about, too.

On top of that, as I go, I keep thinking about Things I Could Do to make the video more exciting, which means I SHOULD do them so the video might actually do well, which has lead to me doing shit like spending 3 days tracking down a sound effect from Undertale and making a ton of motion graphics.

Hopefully I learn something good that'll make the next one go faster, though.

I'm also having to force myself to not try and start adding VFX on top BEFORE I'm even done editing out stutters and silence, ESPECIALLY since I might just end up re-recording some lines I stuttered too much on anyway and writing a better intro than the one I ad-libbed on stream. Anything I try to edit NOW

I hope y'all understand when this thing's done why it took me a month plus to edit. I'm having to learn SO much about Davinci Resolve on the fly, here. More than I ever thought I'd have to learn. All for The Bit.

[tessaaaaa]

What do you use to edit your videos together? also where did you get the high quality footage from? (I wanna do it like you, but goodness knows I have to be an amateur first lol)

Hii, thank you so much for asking. This is probably gonna be a very long answer so buckle up.

Personally, I use Capcut and Adobe Premiere Pro to edit my videos. CapCut is a free editing tool (however, they have been removing almost all features from their free version to get people to pay) and is probably the best app to start out with. Adobe is extremely expensive unfortunately.

Other editing tools you can use are Sony Vegas Pro and Davinci Resolve. Both are not cheap but at least they come outside of a subscription model. Also I think there is a free version of Davinci Resolve.

Now, regarding the footage. I used to torrent my shows. The thing with torrenting is - it's highkey illegal and I got sued by Warner Bros. So I am not doing that anymore. And I haven't really found a proper alternative yet. (If you are reading this this Warner Bros, my words are obvioulsy not binding the only TV show I have ever torrented is Dead Boy Detectives. That was a one time thing. :)))))

My go to site besides torrenting is called "Logoless Desires" on Twitter. They have a bunch of older shows, but lack newer ones. But it's worth checking them out.

I recently found a website called "Bratflix" that let's you download TV shows. But they don't have the best quality. But I think they offer a good solution to my current problem.

If you do choose to torrent, which a lot of people do, then make sure to use a VPN and immedietaly delete whatever you have downloaded from your server. Then you should be safe. In case you don't use a VPN yet, I recommend you the one by Mozilla Forefox.

I used Pirate Bay for find the shows and utorrent to download them. I do advise you to research before torrenting because a) it can be confusing at first and b) did I mention I got sued because I didn't do my research? Yeah. Don't be like me.

You can also always screenrecord. I hate that option because it's a pain in the ass but many people do it, especially those who want to get their video out their before people have made it available to download. I personally use OBS studio as a screen recording tool.

Now regarding the quality of your videos: You do want to make sure you're videos are at least in 720. 1080 is best but often hard to find. (Except on torrenting websites)

That's basically it.

Everyone starts somewhere when it comes to video editing and I am def not the end all be all. Especially due to TikTok video editing has changed a lot. And the quality has kind of ... shifted? I can't really explain it. But let's just say that you don't have to be a pro to make good edits. :) You just have to start somewhere.

If you have any other question, my DM's are always open.

[vampiresmp3]

Ignore me just a little pet peeve of mine but I hate when people say they did a colour correction on the original footage of a film or tv show when that is just not true. You did a colour job ontop of what a colourist has already colour corrected for the directors look of what they wanted the film to be about. This is why you are getting banding, crushed blacks, and too white whites, also when you try to get colour information and depth on something dark there was likely no colour information there to begin with. When you do those edits you are not working with the original you won’t have the camera raw unless it becomes available.

This is mostly a correct terminology thing and a peeve of a correction onto of an already existing colour correction. But if you want to learn to colour correct film look on DaVinci resolve they do have free resources and tutorials.

How to edit captions with your video track

Why: I like making edits of my favorite series, but I hate redo captioning. But I also know quality captions are vital to some viewers (I also use them). To me adding captions is the bare minimum for release, but also hearing all the words and timing them or even re-timing existing captions is very hard with my disabilities and this has been a barrier to me releasing edits. But no more!

DaVinci Resolve lets you add a SubRip (SRT) subtitle track to any video and then edit it at the same time as the video. It also counts as an edit for the Go To Previous/Next Edit button. Con: You can't use the button to jump to big cuts in the video. Pro: You can now easily jump to the an existing timing for someone starting to talk.

DaVinci Resolve:

DaVinci Resolve is a professional video editor with widespread industry use that also has a no-strings-attached perpetual free version. It's got a ton of features in the free version that will more than cover basic editing. It's relatively easy to use (basic tutorials help). If you need more advanced tools you can upgrade to a full license. They don't pester you about it in the free version unless you try to use the advanced tools. I would already recommend using this program to anyone looking to get into video editing.

SRT Subtitles

The SRT subtitle standard is a type of text file that includes subtitles with timings and no formatting. They can be stored separately from a video file or embedded into certain files like MP4s. This is what you'll get if you download captions from YouTube (some YouTube downloaders embed them in the video, some don't). DVD rippers usually have several options. You want an SRT file. And there are websites that host fan-made or fan ripped subtitles for less officially obtained material. You can also make your own SRT file with timings within DaVinci Resolve or with an SRT editor. You can also use this to improve on official captions while making your edit.

A pro feature of DaVinci is it can do machine captioning and then you clean it up. You can also do this for free using YouTube by privately uploading the video, letting it auto-caption, and then editing the captions. You MUST edit machine captions. They are not accurate enough on their own to be accessible. But they can be a step in helping you get it done.

Extracting Embedded SRTs

DaVinci needs an SRT file to import captions. It doesn't seem to extract embedded SRT files from MP4s. Fortunately, it's very easy to extract them.

Subtitle Edit is an open source subtitle editor. It's a great tool if you're making your subtitles from scratch or editing existing ones.

For our purposes, simply open the video with the embedded subtitle track. Click save. Save the SRT file with a useful name somewhere convenient. I recommend using the same name as video it goes with in the same folder.

Adding a Subtitle Track to DaVinci

Rev Tutorial with text and video

Open your project in DaVinci Resolve. Add your SRT file to the bin.

Under "File" select "Import" then "Subtitle."

Or click the Import Media button and add it as normal.

From the bin, select your video and subtitles. Right-click them and select "Create New Timeline Using Selected Clips".

You should now have a timeline where the video and captions are reunited and can be edited together.

Editing the Subtitles

You can now move around the subtitles like any text overlay, including making them longer or shorter. If you click a subtitle you can edit the text and exact timing using numbers. Or edit the timing visually using the timeline. The Go To Previous/Next Edit button can now help you skip to a timing someone else made for you which is usually good enough for a fan cut, making your job easier. From the Edit view you can see the audio track visualizer along with the captions for a perfect cut.

Putting Your Tracks Together

If you're making a compilations, where's where things start to suck. The subtitles are not brought along when you next your clips. They will play over the video, but they won't export to an SRT video or be embedded. You're going to have to manually copy them. But at least now they're the correct length and you have them synced up. I would highly recommend you start your subtitles right at the beginning of the clip or put a fake one in to delete later.

Add your Timelines to a new timeline as usual.

Go to the timeline of the first clip.

With the clip at the beginning, right click the seeker bar and click the select to right button on the circular menu.

Use CTRL + left click to deselect the video/audio tracks. Copy the subtitle track.

Go to the combined timeline. Go to the start of your clip.

Paste the subtitles. You may have to add a subtitle track.

Copy the subtitles from the next clip.

Go to the combined timeline and move to the start of the that clip. Paste the new set in.

Rename your subtitle tracks with the language they're in or type.

Export

Go to the deliver tab. Choose the file name and location. If you're posting to YouTube, render as a single clip, and export to MP4. Under the Subtitle Settings, select "Export Subtitle", Format "As a separate file", and Export As "SRT Without Formatting". Select the subtitle tracks you want to export with the video.

Add to Render Queue. Then render the clips over on the right.

Uploading to YouTube

Upload the video as normal. At the Video Elements step, add subtitles. Select upload file, then with timings. Your subtitles should show up on the timeline and you can check they're correct and fix anything last minute. Do this for each language you add. Continue uploading as normal.

Conclusion

That's my process for adding existing subtitles to my videos. I've wanted something like this for ages so I was super pleased to learn Davinci Resolve has it. I hope this encourages other clip makers with some access to pre-made captions to use them for their videos. It's easy, free, and can even help speed up the editing process. It makes your videos much more accessible and creates a transcript that's searchable and timestamped for easy navigation and quote copying. I really recommend working this into your process so more fans who need captions can share in your work.

My many blorbos are fighting for dominance over my creativity and none of them are winning, I’ve been stuck sitting here for about 3 hours so time to scream

Rambles below the cut

I really reallyyyyy wanna draw team radical (character portrait style) because I realize I haven’t done so in quite a while (all of the project work has been drawing Varian over and over, which, don’t get me wrong, I love, he’s so fun to draw, but AAAAAA) OH I ALSO WANNA MAKE STICKERS OF THEM BECAUSE MY TMA JON STICKER IS STARTING TO PEEL OFF AND I REALLY LIKE MAKING STICKERS

But I also acknowledge that I need to work on editing the scripts if I expect this shit to come out when I want it to, and that involves outlining my actual plan for character development, which I thought i had down but then the worms got in and burrowed their little holes in my brain and now I need to go back and overanalyze everything because holy shit I love character development

But I also just wanna write about my little guys because oh my gosh they are such little messes and I love them so much and I just wanna scream about them. At the moment I’m back on my fixation around Taylor and Elijah, mostly because I’ve gotten some of my friends to enjoy them as a ship and I owe them a fluff story after the devastating thing I sent to them a couple days ago (I’m still recovering)

If anyone else is just scatterbrained about their braiwnroms, you know the pain. I’ve also assigned myself the ENORMOUS TASK of compiling all of my worldbuilding and character nonsense into one place, and I edit and rework shit as I go so you can imagine how that’s going

I also told myself I’d participate more in artfight past just attacking my friends, and have a like three half finished attacks sitting in my procreate files

Oh and I have the actual v&t7k project, duh, which I’ve been chipping at slowly. I have about 2/3s of the first chapter done, but had to redo everything like a week ago because davinci resolve is stupid

On top of that, I have an actual life apparently. Being trans is a pain and I hate and love performing music. And of course the world is on fire but ehhhh, I don’t even know if I can bring myself to care at this point

Hope y’all like that little dive into my daily creative doings if you read this far, and I really hope Hello Jon, apologies for the deception but I- *gets run over by my friend that hijacked a car*

[moonsharky]

why does any software i try to use hate me? svp19 keeps crashing whenever i import media so removing background music in there is impossible now. i thought i would try out davinci resolve but i cant select any of my 6 channels of audio seperately in order to figure out which ones i need to mute

[itmeblog]

:/

It's sort of funny because I've been looking into Linux (with the crackdown we *might* experience to free speech with respect to queer media... and my general disinterest in having my files accessed through a coorporate backdoor, even if the chances are small particularly as he's interested in firing like half the government... How is he gonna enforce shit with his barren ranks? He's like inadvertently spurning half the military and the way he plans to use it will have them spread so thin... Mercenaries?? I kid but also the last 12 days or so have been really stupid so idk).

90% of my programs'll run on it just fine. DaVinci Resolve, Reaper, Audacity, Trelby etc (I don't use Photoshop or anything.) and I could obviously use the space...

That and Word pissed me off with the AI integration... I hate the search bar giving me websites, I hate the little icon asking me if it wants to write my paper for me and I hate that every few weeks I see something about how my permission was granted for some AI learning aspect I've got to go through several menus to turn off.

But all the websites are like *consider these number of things before making the switch!" And like I'm not all that interested in customization or like 10 of the other reasons listed as to why you should consider it. Also the interface makes me nervous.

But most of these articles are also pre-Trump. The man who has no interest in privacy laws uses force and threats to get around legal "requirements" etc. like we got ICE presenting mommy-told-you-to-play-with-me style warrants (they hold no weight), while some of our biggest companies just sorta capitulate. Also we've turned Guantanamo Bay into a concentration camp... like things aren't *great*. So really I'm just sitting here like... weighing probability, inconvenience, annoyance, etc.

And it keeps coming up "just bite the fucking bullet"

So mostly I'm just waiting for the last SFY episode of the season to post so I can take a few days to transfer and save everything and get my passwords in order :/

UFDoll Haul! Non-Resin Uncle Sized Ball-Jointed Doll!! by Deko. The whole purpose of buying these dolls was to use them for my floating heads. However, that did not work out! I have never seen a doll with such a massive neck/neck hole. I started looking around to see if I could find a head I liked, but I stopped myself because I was not trying to buy another doll head but to use one I had. UGH! Also, I hate my phone. It keeps changing to a completely inaccurate and extremely cool color setting. Also, I hate the thumbnail. I might change it later? #UFDoll #bjddolls #bjd #balljointeddoll #unboxing #boxopening Doll Blog: http://dedeko.me Doll Feature Finder Project: dollfinder.org Den of Angels username: Anshishoku Credits: Logo Artwork - Deko (That's me!)

So, I am more learned in Adobe stuff for job related reasons but I know of some free video editing programs. I'm not sure how good they actually are since I am sadly Adobe pilled as much as I hate adobe (and you all should too. I remember our prof teaching us photoshop told us to use a tool and go "now pray the program die" multiple times and don't get me started on using on mac) so I only know Shotcut, DaVinci Resolve and OpenShot. Honestly go with the option you find the most toturials for online

yes ive heard a lot about how unfair adobe is and i fully support the hate even though its a very good platform with lot of tools. life just sucks.

anon, im noting it all down to try out after exams. thank you so much.
