A Better Way to Backup Your Camera Footage

We spend hours and hours filming content, only to place our trust in a tiny little memory card to keep it safe.

Bad Habits Are Destroying Your Creativity! 🚫
Yea I don't have anyone that resonates even locally with my creative interests and ambitions. Thanks for not caring and just putting out stuff like this 😊
No worries Paul :) Yeah it's very frustrating seeing loads of fellow creatives on CZcams but non in the place that you live. It just makes everything 10x harder than if a solid creative community was around you weekly, that you could use to bounce ideas off of and to generally help and encourage each other.
Hey Adam, I want to say I haven't watched all this video yet but it really resonates with me and my frustrations with CZcams as well. Honestly I didn't discover you from the apple video but another video you broke down with workflow and inconsistency because it's my biggest struggle and I subscribed Knowing you were still a small CZcamsr. I have been told by many other creators when a video like your apple pops we should make another similar to that video... Only if it doesn't fit what you feel passionate about then we just got subs from people who truly don't watch our content. Like you mentioned wishing we had a button to unsubscribe people. Anyway I'm here with you and gonna finish listening to this video because I have more patience than others. Also I love the Skyward Sword!
Pretty cool 👍
Thanks :)
10:24 For the various event shots at this year's WWDC they actually had the adapters on the lens. I'm not sure if they used it all the time but at least when I was filmed I noticed the huge lens on that grip.
Ah interesting. Did you spot one of them on an iphone during the BTS video Apple put out?
I have one question: before i coudnt do it, make a mosaic mask to ocult a persons face on porn video, because the tracking used to run away and the face appear when it get out of the frame, there is the possibility now?
The intelitracker is a lot more accurate than the previous one. Enjoy blurring your porn videos 😄
how much heavier is the stabil arm than the original? Thanks!
Check out the info on CVP or B&H. They'll have all the specs up there
You right
@@XavierHector thanks Hector :)
first ... please don't dance ! 2nd "Hollywood " uses Trinitys for what you are trying to do with this rig .This rig is for a very limited use. But in that it is incredibly valuable.(depends on the shot blocking )
But I like to dance 😭
Thanks for the video. Easy sub.
@@StarLightDotPhotos thanks so much 😊 I really appreciate the support.
Great another hippie video from cant shave his face adam
😂
So good! i don't understand why the algorithm isn't favoring your videos, it deserves so much more attention. keep it going 👏
Thanks Ania 😊 Honestly, I’m not sure why either. It is of course frustrating when I feel like my videos would be valuable to many more people, but I’ve just gotta keep at it. Improving videos with each upload, and hopefully one day the algorithm will start to give some more love ❤️ But comments like yours really do help in the times when I’m having thoughts like, ‘what’s the point in all this effort when the growth is much slower than I wished it could be’. I’ve just gotta have hope that it’ll all be worth it when I’m looking back at my channel in a few years from now 🙂
Okay
Slay
I have a tecnical question. Do you know any real solution for "horizon lock"? I keep waiting for a update that will make this possible. When i shoot handheld, my horizon keeps rotating clockwise and anti clockwise throughout the clip? Is there a way to keep horizon locked in place without me going to manualy keyframe every second of rotation angle? Thank you!
Have you ever tried this app before? gyroflow.xyz/ It integrates directly with Resolve
@@HeyAdamGrasso looks like it needs gyro data though... all ia have is mp4 files.
@@fanikurti2420@fanikurti2420 Have you tried the built-in stabiliser for Davinci Resolve?
@@HeyAdamGrasso of course, but the video is stable enough. It is not shaky. It's just the horizon rotates. (when i pan mostly)
Hmmm. I'm not sure there's much you can really do then. Unless you do some super heavy stabilisation on it, but then your video will crop in a lot
offshoot is the absolute best out there right now for a 1-man operation. RIP Shotput, you were good but SLOW. Good video that makes it easy for people unfamiliar with checksum-based cloning to get started. Nice work!
Shotput could have been awesome but red giant really dropped the ball on it 😭 Offshoot is great though. Constant updates and super easy to use.
Get a shave and a shower before you backup you hippie!
😂 This actually made me laugh out loud. Bravo
Why do you pronounce H like that? You sound like an imbcile
I forgot to say this the first time I watched this video, but I was thinking that all these productivity """hacks""" aren't supposed to convert you from unwilling to willing, they're only meant to convert you from just-enough-willing to abundantly willing to do your tasks. I don't think there's any productivity cure for a complete lack of clarity/will (I say clarity because when you absolutely KNOW you have to do something, there's no matter of will. You just do it, it's unquestionable.) As for the cases where these hacks are applicable, I'd say they are 70%+ personal and 30% generally effective. Some just suit some people more than others This is just me brainstorming using the understanding I have of my own motivation history
Yeah you make some really good points here. Also some methods just stick for certain types of people over others, cause we all have different personalities so it can't be a 'one size fits all' when it comes to any kind of life advice. Perhaps except for the basic stuff like, try to exercise regularly, get good sleep, etc.
Davinci Resolve actually has inbuild safty copying features on the media tab! and it's FREE
Ah cool. I didn't know about this feature. I'll check it out :)
@@HeyAdamGrasso Nothing fancy, it just checks the metadata etc. so the files aren't corrupt
You make great content and I'm trying to find out why you have so little traffic? Any way I love your videos and keep it up
Thanks so much Paul. I really appreciate the support 😊 Hopefully the algorithm gives this video some love ❤️
🔥🔥 keep going
Thanks Mahox 😊 I will 🙌
are all the recent keynotes not filmed on iphone? it usually says that they are at the end of the events
They do now but that’s a recent change Apple made.
Panasonic Lumix are amazing cameras and especially buying used you can find great value for money. Same goes for Nikon and sort of Olympus.
I own Panasonic
I am a brand new Mac user so naturally I tried FCP and fell in love with it. I still have a lot to learn but I am taking youtube seriously now (which is why I purchased a mac in the first place) so it probably won't take long for me to get very familiar with how FCP functions. But I did download Resolve since it's free and I will try that out too. I have no interest in Premier.
Yeah FCP has a lot of great features that even Davinci doens't yet have. Though I found it starts to get limited when you wanna do more advanced effects, (rotoscoping, etc)
Hi Adam! Your videos are fantastic! ! I'm actually torn right now between getting a glide gear teleprompter to use with 10.2" iPad or alternatively the Elgato for talking head language education type content. Which setup would you choose for that sort of thing? Many thanks!
Thanks for the compliment :) It depends on your budget, but the Elgato Prompter is just so easy to use. If you just wanna go for an all in one solution, then go for the Elgato Prompter.
Hence why? 🥴 seriously man stop saying that.
Did they finally fixed their crappy playback? Because for EVERYONE the video transitions stutter like hell.
Still not as good as any pre 2011 keynote
Can fusion do everything after effects can?
Pretty much yes. Maybe 1 or 2 effects have to be replicated by stacking multiple effects on top of one another, but essentially, they can do the same thing.
Dude slow down in your speaking. You don’t need to speak so fast. Only lasted 3 minutes and you did my head it.
Loving the random locations of the piece to cameras!
Thanks Graham :)
As amazing as they are, I still prefer their live presentations. It feels more real.
Agree, people are predicting doom and gloom with A.I taking jobs away, true the simple jobs on Fiver may be hit but even with the apps being used with A.I a user still needs to learn the app or software, come up with what they want and get the right results they need, not to mention the time and effort they need to get the job done, example when you need your grass cut a lot of people buy a lawn mower to cut there own grass, but the time and effort involved to some is not worth just paying someone to do it for you.
#24 I don't believe in luck rather I believe in serendipity Serendipity can involve mystery and intention, and can be an active process of connecting the dots and taking action. For example, serendipity can involve seeing opportunities that others don't, or reframing unexpected events as something positive.
Yeah, that's an excellent way to reframe things. I guess luck could be considered as something we think we can control, or rather, something that's an idealised version of our future hopes and desires. But Serendipity is more controllable and can always lead you somewhere in the ball park of where you wanted to go, but just not via the path you intitally thought you'd take to get there.
Great life lessons especially #17 with your editor keeps you accountable.
Hit the download. its a good one !!
I like your passion . When you speak about the cursor on final cut it looks like you speak about your ex ! Personnaly i take care about workflow and understand . I think also it should be a good idéa . Also i want macro shortcut ! Like cubase Group for vidéo. Maybe there is but i have not seen ! Also it will be crazy to make several effect like magic mask or beauty retouch at the same same . Or transcribe audio to text . Maybe the optimisation of v19 don t needs that . After it not my level but create an association with unreal for 3d environnement. Ouch Have a good Day.
Given that they’ve now said they use iPhones to record the keynotes, they are using HDR capable cameras.
I've been using Listray for finding whatever file or folder on the PC, but I haven't really explored all it's functions, maybe it has similar functions to this Raycast one, maybe I'll try Raycast but what I love about Listray is that it Integrates into the little file/folder picker sub-windows that open up when you're, for example, setting a download directory or selecting a file to load into a Loader/fbxMesh node etc. That little integration also copies the last folder you had visited in file explorer in itself, so you don't have to copy folder addresses to it. If raycast has that I might switch over since it seems to have more functions
I haven't heard of Listray but I'll definitely check it out now 😊 I'm sure Raycast will have a way to set that up for you. Give it a try
How do they record audio?
At 6:30 that transition is actually insane. Really makes you feel they thought “Hey if we can produce shows for Apple TV, we can make some hella great presentations.”
If the screen is real, then why in WWDC24 the icons start to float towards the screen? And the icons when they float towards the screen it shows reflection.
Did they use fcp in editing ?
I was NOT expecting this video lol
In a good way or a bad way?
Neutral way, i just found it amusing lol@@HeyAdamGrasso
Just a funny way, I just found it amusing idk (my last reply got deleted didn't get sent it seems)@@HeyAdamGrasso
They exclusively use iPhone for filming, since they are capable of filming raw, that is.
HACH G R caught me off guard
