I make videos and other stuff
I have a still graphic element that is a serpentine design like this that I want to wipe / mask in

If it was a linear line, that is super easy via wipe / crop / mask

Can’t find a tutorial on YouTube for an easy way to do this

Any ideas?

My son’s friend got a switch 2, and apparently these snap in half very easily

Anyone have a recommendation for what #glue to use on a #Nintendo #Switch2 JoyCon attachment?

E600?

Good example of the importance of proofreading where a missing " . " can be the difference between $4,110,000 and $411,000,000

#photoshop question

Is there an easy / automated way that Photoshop can remove foreground images?

Snap photo 1, take step to the right, snap photo 2.

Then have Photoshop stitch two photos and remove the foreground objects?

Or is this just tons of manual work?

I’m saddened to wake up to the news of Pope Francis

For me, it was not just that he focused on healing the suffering found around the globe, but that he took responsibility for his role (the role of the Catholic Church) in contributing to suffering

Much is given, much is expected

(Heard this story from an uncle who owned an auto parts company)

While Detroit 3 execs would drive the cars they made, when something went wrong they’d have an assistant fetch keys to a new car to take home

So they never experienced the difficulties of having your car in the shop for 2-3 days
A lot of corporate decisions make more sense when you realize that many company leaders *just don't use their own product*. They have no idea of the actual experience and instead see it in the abstract, through metrics and spreadsheets. True not just for stores, but hardware and software too.

Is there a way to make it so I stay logged into Frame.io?

First world problems to have to click 3 times to auto fill in user name & password, but it would be preferred if it kept me logged in.

Anyone feel this? Or just me?

Another moment of when I see AI has a long way to go is when Premiere auto transcribe listened to “In 2024…” and wrote out “In 2020, four, …”

criminal that this has so few views

I just found an Easter Egg on the HEAT Blu-ray, an early edit of the Pacino/De Niro coffee shop scene, created early in the film's production when director Michael Mann wanted the scene to be shorter and have a lot less dialogue.

We’re a little behind this year & need to get some other variety of treats, but better late than never

My desk is in a cold part of the house when I WFH during winter months so I was looking at small desktop heaters

Saw one “energy efficient” at 200w and now I’m wondering if I just set up an old Lowel Pro hot light with a 150w bulb and use that as a heater

Does anybody in San Francisco have a Firewire 800 (9 pin) to Thunderbolt adapter that I can borrow? I literally just need it for one day and then never again.
