This is why you need to trust your gut about tech and SV. They do not know what they're doing. The guys in charge are idiots trying to convince non techy Americans that the future they're pushing is inevitable because they're leveraged up to their eyeballs and will need a bailout soon.

As a video editor, this process is pretty fuckin nonsensical
- use an unnamed screen recorder that records only in formats Premiere doesn't know (mkv maybe?)
- use Fast Forward Motion Picture Group Experts (what nobody on earth calls FFMPEG) to convert the files
- and still fuck up in Premiere too??

Newly released documents show the FBI's scramble to explain last year why it released a screen recording with a missing minute from the night Jeffrey Epstein died, instead of the original footage.
Mystery of the missing minute from Epstein jail solved
Documents that were part of the Epstein files release help explain why a video released from the night of Epstein's death was missing one minute close to midnight.

Remember how everyone was celebrating Heated Rivalry’s cameo by a trans man hockey player?
Though he is no longing playing - if he was he (and all other trans ppl) would be banned from both the men’s team and the women’s team by the time I’d finished watching the episodes.

It is insane how inevitable this felt - that the industry has forced itself into a corner ensuring that every FPS team has to work on a competitive service shooter that has a 99% chance of crashing on launch.
Wildlight (Highguard) lays off staff according to a LinkedIn post
"Unfortunately, along with most of the team at Wildlight, I was laid off today.
This one really stings as there was a lot of unreleased content I was really looking forward to that I and others designed for Highguard."
