Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@nathanslife2297 says : You are running adobe cs5>> <<@AnthonyRosbottomDigital says : I only discovered Autograph today. The price of it seems to have come down a hell of a lot since your video. Might be worth checking it out again>> <<@MikeSimpson1 says : One thing that I would suggest exploring (and I'm aware you've done it before) is the option of using software like this in the browser. Yes as you point out for a Photoshop substitute there's Photopea and for video editing there are apps like Clipchamp which seems to be quite good. The future is using browsers and web apps. We won't even have to install anything locally and web based software is platform agnostic.>> <<@EmailPoczta says : Hey, christopher . thank you for this valuable video. it follows that it will lose a computer with a 10th generation intel i5 processor plus 16 gb of ram and only 2 gb of VRAM graphics card as an extra. on the internet there are many reviews that for multimedia, including video editing, you need to have at least a 12th generation i5 processor, 32 gb of ram and additionally a video card minmum 8 or more gb of vram. I wonder if the AMD processor and radeon graphics would also work? or just intel and nvidia ? I'm glad you're debunking that myth. the tendency for insanity in the parameters of computers is noticeable. to sum up...creative work and linux. that's great. thanks, thanks, thanks.>> <<@tanmoymridha5002 says : For adobe softwares, sailing high seas is morally correct.>> <<@Ratteler says : The biggest issue I have with buying into any software ecosystem, if the fear of being locked out of my files by the software going out of business, or an economic hardship meaning I can't work until I pay the monthly ransom.. That's what I love about my FOSS heavy tool set. I'll never be locked out of my creations.>> <<@P5YcHoKiLLa says : DaVinci Resolve is undoubtedly the best free video editor on any platform>> <<@Basserino84 says : So if you were going fully FOSS, what would you pick?>> <<@Nick_Lavigne says : Resolve kinda has everything. And Fusion (standalone or in Resolve) is a better compositor, but if you absolutely need layer based i can understand not using Nuke or Fusion. A great software for video and audio converting is Shutter Encoder.>> <<@mcrydzy says : UBUNTU the worst linux! It's supposedly open, but it's just closed as windows! They brazenly push whimsy such as SNAP or that nasty side panel! I stopped using Ubuntu about two years ago when it became a problem to remove this garbage called SNAP! I used Ubuntu from the beginning, I even have all CDs I put up with all the whims of Canonical such as MIR, Unity, that ugly side panel, but I couldn't cope with that SNAP garbage! After many years I returned to Fedora>> <<@skywalkdesign2023 says : @ExplainingComputers : Can you please make a detailed video on how to install these softwares specifically Davinci Resolve latest free version on Linux? I am shifting from Windows to Linux and I need Davinci in Linux and a good alternative of Adobe Audition and those must be FREE because I can't afford to buy these superbly expensive applications for my small projects. Btw, I am using Fedora 40 with KDE Plasma 6 desktop. Thank you for your tremendously helpful videos. Oh, I forgot to mention, I have subscribed. 😊>> <<@ShadowFandub says : autograph sounds really goo- *see the price* OOF.>> <<@monkeymanstones1 says : I am paid to edit videos and as most are MP4 I use Avidemux in Ubuntu (but it's available in Windows also). I use it because it can process a vast majority of video file types, can handle a vast majority of audio file types used in video files and can provide an output file in many formats. I can adjust compression rates, can process in most ways necessary, can do nearly everything required to both process video/audio, but combining files I generally use openshot I am a bit surprised that you didn't assess Avidemux in this video.>> <<@animatewithdermot says : My brother is in the audio end of things (unlike me, the visual). He swears by Reaper (can't get it to work on my Linux laptop as it's too old), but FYI.>> <<@animatewithdermot says : Like you I"m also using CS5.5 (Premiere, AE, PS in CS6). But it's great to know that when the time comes (and it will be WHEN, as my hardware won't last forever), that Linux / FOSS / non-Adobe is good enough for the job. Thanks also for the Photopea reminder! Adobe Delenda Est.>> <<@The_Old_Turtle says : 9:29 h.265 not h.264>> <<@noam65 says : So, let me see if I understand your opening statement. In 2 woods, I will find, LEARN, and use alternatives to programs I've been using for 30 years. That is a recipe for failure, if I've ever heard one.>> <<@jimjenjazz says : An excellent video, as always, Chris. I've just rewatched it as I am trying to get my ducks in a row before repurposing on old PC for Linux as I am trying to remove myself from the Adobe world. However, that appears not to be as simple as I had hoped. For instance, I use a Loopdeck+ when editing in Lightroom and Photoshop and rather like the way it works, sadly it won't work in Linux! There are several other niggles, mostly minor in the grand scheme, but I wonder if you had some thoughts on hardware issues we may come across as we try and leave Windows and the main application providers out there? Perhaps a new video for you?? Please?>> <<@TerenceKearns says : Tuxideo (limux based laptop vendor) will be selling the new snapdragon chip. It will be the premiere alternative to windows 11 with its recall nonsense. Going full tilt on "not windows" and "not adobe" is congealing into a thing - more now than ever.>> <<@Dutch-linux says : you could of used kdenlive as alternative for davinci resolve>> <<@brauliosolano says : Hi! Why didn't you consider Kdenlive? It can't replace anything?>> <<@kamekonoha says : have you tried shotcut? it is the one i use and it supports a lot of formats>> <<@MrThurobrand says : Is it pronounced foto-pe-ah? Sounds like utopia + Photo = photopea .... Just wondering.>> <<@BrunodeSouzaLino says : For compositors, you also have Nuke and Fusion has been integrated into Resolve.>> <<@fordfisher says : Give Reaper a chance. It’s closer to Audition>> <<@lanceevans1689 says : Excellent!>> <<@Alexander_Sannikov says : Amazing video, I love to see proprietary software included in search for what's actually the best that linux has.>> <<@PhillipConroy says : If I find an easy to use photo Raw editor (DXO PhotoLab, Lightroom) alternative I'm formatting my hard drive & installing Linux full time, no more dual booting.>> <<@nousquest says : Meh, none of this is FOSS anyways which defeats the purpose. I'd rather encrypt linux drive and dual boot into Windows with internet disabled and use cracked AE + Media Encoder to edit. Use a flash drive for importing/exporting media.>> <<@AlucardaPapere says : Keep in mind that Lightorks is more of an alternaative to avid and its workflow, ratehr than premiere and Davinci, so it's more focused on film editing rather than video making>> <<@johnthursfield3056 says : As a sound designer if I wanted to do audio processing on Linux I'd use Ardour not Audacity>> <<@UltimatePerfection says : Now try doing it using only free software. Kdenlive for video editing, Blender for special effects.>> <<@GauLB66 says : Thank You for this!>> <<@fmphotooffice5513 says : You couldn't have expected the timeliness of this upload with the hot water both Adobe and Microsoft fond themselves in. Thanks! Excellent information.>> <<@allkindsofthings673 says : Linux still sucks at video editing.>> <<@Maisonier says : Now we have stable diffusion and image generations with Krita ( krita-ai-diffusion ) to compare with Photoshop.>> <<@tinymud3324 says : I'm Canadian and you are an Amazing Geek ;o)>> <<@FredPilcher says : Excellent video - thanks. BTW, I think Photopea is probably pronoinced pho TOE pee ah. 🙂>> <<@jakobw135 says : Speaking of Adobe Photoshop and the purchase versus the insane monthly leasing behavior of the parent company - I'm using Photoshop CS5 and along with a bunch of other programs in the Master Collection that work just fine, even in Windows 10 - how much longer do you think this version of Adobe will be supported on a Windows based PC?>> <<@psygreg says : DaVinci Resolve is amazing for Linux in its Studio version - and covers for After Effects too with its Fusion compositions - however I find its free version hard to work with since it doesn't accept the most widely used video formats specially if you use OBS Studio a lot. If you need a solid free video editor, I'd rather go for Kdenlive - it has stepped up massively since its early days and accepts nearly any media format known to mankind>> <<@laylasmart says : Davincy Resolve Fusion tab is a free replacement for After Effects.>> <<@CCoburn3 says : Today, 6 June 2024, Adobe has updated their license agreement to require anyone using their programs to grant them an unrestricted license to everything created using Adobe software -- including allowing them to sublicense the material to anyone they want and to make any changes they want to the material. This video may become EXTREMELY popular as people realize that Adobe now has the right to sell the work they create.>> <<@rectify2003 says : Companies are getting greedy Davinci Resolve is the way to go, and come across as honest Free or Paid The Free does 99.9% of what paid does>> <<@electrotsmishar says : Just want to point out, you can go very faar in terms of audio and motion graphics in davinci resolve>> <<@fabricio4794 says : A Life Without Adobe is Possible and Without Autodesk,Corel too..>> <<@MichelMorinMontreal says : And that's it... you're off the Adobe Christmas card list!>> <<@gigalodon14 says : Adding to the Davinci resolve format problem: you can ask chatgpt to write you an ffmpeg script that converts the video and audio into a perfect version to use in Davinci Resolve>> <<@ScreenNameLoretta says : Thanks! Wonderful video, even though there was the tiniest little typo in about 9:30 to about 9:50. (In written words: system has neither h.264 nor h.264.) Fortunately, I could hear your voice (neither h.264 nor h.265), and you have a very good teaching voice. Looking forward to your videos.>> <<@rjy8960 says : The only reason why I have a Windows partition on my main machine is for video editing (which I rarely do!). I would so love to get rid of it and do it in Mint. This give me hope, thanks Chris!>> <<@AlgoFodder says : ( 9:15 ) Couldn't ffmpeg (famous FOSS commandline tool) handle the required format conversions (h26x/aac) with ease and without requiring nvidia (though maybe slower without opencl) ?>>
