Hello very useful info, thanks! Can we power tascam from V Mount Battery, and if yes, which cable do you recommend?
Hi there! Thanks for your comment, glad you found the info useful! Yes, you can definitely power the Tascam Portacapture X8 using a V Mount battery. Most V Mount batteries come with a USB-C output, which works perfectly for this purpose. I recommend checking out the Smallrig Mini V-Mount as it’s compact and reliable. Happy recording!
Best explanation yet
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching
Hi I would like to ask how to make it seamless loop on this effect
Excellent video, it would be great to see more videos about camera stuff. Thanks!
You got it!
Very useful video! Thank you! Which ND filters you would recommend to have? Currently I guess I'll need ND 8 and ND 64. I shoot mostly photo, sometimes video.
Thank you for your kind words! I recommend the K&F Concept 82mm Variable ND2-ND400 ND Lens Filter (1-9 Stops). It's versatile and works great for both photo and video, allowing you to adjust the density without needing multiple filters. I use it with my R6 Mark II, and it has been very reliable. You can find a link to it in the description of this video. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!
Why does this not work for me? I've done it precisely as shown and ... nothing. Inversing more has the effect of just turning it entire off or entirely on, but the black/white mask .png import seems to have no impact when used as the luma key track at all.
Also, I appreciate my home state of maine being a subject in this
Okay I see it... it's way off screen because (I assume) it's tracking... what I need is a mask that's permanently in one specific place no matter what the masked video's placement is... the footage is highly variable and I need to be able to center the subject in the masked area.
@@Valjurai Thank you for your comments! I'm glad to hear you caught the nod to Maine-I always enjoy incorporating elements from viewers' home states! Regarding your latest observation about the mask moving off screen, it sounds like you might benefit from using a fixed position mask. Here’s what you can do: Create a Fixed Mask: Instead of using a track matte that moves with your video, create a mask that stays static throughout your clip. You can do this directly in Premiere Pro using the ‘Effect Controls’ panel: • Apply the ‘Opacity’ effect to your clip. • Use the ‘Ellipse’ or ‘Rectangle’ tool to draw a mask around the area you want to keep visible. • Ensure the mask is set to stay in one place by unchecking any keyframes that might cause it to move. These steps should help you create a stable masked area for your variable footage. If there's anything else you need, just let me know!
Alas, @@MeridianMedia, it's a no go. There are no keyframes; I just get media off an SD card in the midst of a hectic conference and the speaker is never in the same place twice, so I have to drag the media x,y around to recenter them... and it keeps dragging the box mask with it, which is driving me absolutely insane. I can't find anything to uncheck to prevent it. I just need a box in the lower corner that defines the mask, completely unlinked from the thing it's masking
wow. wow. wow. i thought this was unreachable information for me. you simplified it so extremely much.
You are quite welcome! Thanks for watching and good luck on the test!
Great explanation! one additional question: how could we render individual clips if there is an adjustment layer applied along all the clips?
Great question! To my knowledge, you can't use adjustment layers with the Render and Replace technique directly. Instead, you have to copy the properties from the adjustment layer and paste them onto each individual clip. I hope this helps!
Great video. Like the others I watched other videos and it was still confusing. Way to simplify it!!!
That's great to hear. Thanks Doug!
Wow, this helped so much! I got several of these questions on my exam!
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words and I'm this helped!
I watched countless videos with complicated explanations and couldn't understand the plane's position. With your simple examples and explanation finally I got it. Thanks a lot
Glad it helped! Good luck on the test!
You have the best videos. So easy to understand.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
great video! would love to see a review like this about the sennheiser ie100 pros :)
Thanks for the kind words! I’ve never used those headphones but have heard great things about them. I’ll definitely keep that in mind!
Great video! Got a question... What are you using to hold your audio recorder onto your mic stand? Thanks again for the vid!
Thanks so much! We use a super clamp with a 1/4 to 3/8 stud. We added it to the links in the description of the video if you want to check it out.
Great Job Sir! Thank you for making it so easy.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
God bless you. Your videos are so clear, precise, and easy to follow. Out of curiosity, are you Meridian Media because you’re located in Meridian, MS?
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad to hear that you find the videos clear and easy to follow. To answer your question, we are actually based out of Pittsburgh, PA. We chose the name Meridian Media because we liked the word "meridian" and thought it would be a cool name for our production company. Thanks again for your support!
This is the most helpful video I have seen on this question. Thank you for helping me understand it!
Awesome! Glad you found it helpful!
Just know this for the exam - "CIVIL" is for private citizen part 107 operations. "PUBLIC" for the purposes of this exam means government operations. "OFF CENTER VIEWING" for night covers the fact that your peripheral vision is sharper at night and its a strategy for scanning the sky for objects in small increments for efficiency. Know "RODS" for night vision, "CONES" for day. Eyes exposed to bright light at night requires up to 30 minutes to build up more "rhodopsin". Cover one eye if exposed to light to preserve night vision. Frost and ice will appear when air temp reaches DEWPOINT or lower and decreases rotor efficiency. For STABLE vs UNSTABLE air - just know climate, clouds, visibilty, precipation and turbulence for each and you can answer the question easy. I just made a side by side chart. I just finished the Peltier course with his CZcams discount and I have been passing all the practice exams available. Ill schedule this week. GOOD LUCK!
Thank you for a literal test analysis so current!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
thanx this is nice
Sure thing!
We use one of these in the music studio as a dedicated device for encoding vinyl. Phono preamp >> X8, powered by USB. I didn't trust batteries for this, but there's likely no difference in sound.
may i know if chewing sound would be canceled using the LCF function?
Great question! The low-cut filter on the Sennheiser MKE 600 primarily reduces low-frequency noise like wind or traffic rumble. It might slightly reduce the intensity of chewing sounds, which can have low-frequency components, but it won't completely cancel them out.
Very useful video. Def helpful just what I was looking for. i have some long events coming up Hopefully with phantom I can get about 4 hours off a bank and some Energizer liths
Thanks for watching! I'm glad the video was helpful. Using a USB-C power bank with Energizer lithiums should give you close to 4 hours, even with phantom power. Good luck with your events!
@@MeridianMedia yea just finished the shoot. Lasted 4 hours no phantom power it was nice. I was afraid there might be some low hum or hiss when it was plugged in but so far so clean on the scroll thru
'PromoSM' ☺️
Totally bummed out now...... I had trip planned for September but now it is designated as national and state park so I won't be allowed to fly my drone for photographs. 😢
Ah yeah, we totally know that feeling! The places where I want to drone the most are all off-limits!
First, congrats. On the VFR waypoints question, there are VFR checkpoints and VFR waypoints. The checkpoints are used for communication with ATC. Waypoints are used for navigation.
Thanks Ed! That makes a lot of sense.
really useful to know thank you!
Thank you so much!
People who are stargazers are lucky if they live near Cherry Springs State Park. I would love to view there.
Totally agree!
Took my test yesterday, 95%. Some of the questions were totally bogus and were nothing but a subjective opinion of someone at the FAA. Others were grammatically horrible though the answer they wanted was clear. That so many questions were totally not relevant to sub 55 pound Aircraft is rather alarming since they’re nothing more than a waste of tax dollars and pilots time. We don’t need to know isotonic lines (one of my test questions), not do we need to know how to read METARS or TAFs since we must maintain LOS and we can see the damn weather.
Can you connect an iPhone 15 Pro Max to the Tascam X8 with that same cable to record videos with X8 audio?
Would love to see a video on how to set phantom power and the dos and don'ts for the Tascam Portacapture X8
That's a great idea! We'll try to work that one in our upcoming queue
short, simple, very helpful
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I enjoyed this very much.

Hello.I am from India.I have a DGCA valid RPC. I am planning to move Canada for a drone pilot job.can I continue with this licence?is this possible to get a job canada?
Hi there! That's a great question about transitioning your drone pilot license from India to Canada. I'm not an expert on Canadian drone laws, so I'll let someone else chime in who is more knowledgeable on this topic. Best of luck with your move and job search in Canada!
Perfect explanation. Thank you so much!

It doesn't apply to "public" operations because "public" in this sense applies to Government entities. Official local and national government "public" operations are exempt from 107.
They have a lot of trick questions. The Showery Precipitation one is totally a trick question.
This was imensely helpful. Those questions were getting me so frustrated and I couldn't find anyone that explained it like this. Drawing it out is SUPER helpful!!
Thanks for the kind words! So glad it was helpful!

What would the shutter speed be when the native iso is 800? On my Canon Mark iii I'm using 400 and 1/50th of a second. For 800, should I change 1/50th to 1/100th?
Hey thanks for watching! Your shutter speed should be double your framerate, regardless of what your ISO is. Hope this helps!
@@MeridianMedia it took me a while but I finally realized that remains true even though the native iso of the R6ii is 800. Thxx as MKS!
Can you please explain how to move the footage inside the text? When I try to edit position in the video 2 clip , it moves the text itself for some reason
Hey! You need to drag a transform effect and an offset effect and place them above the Track Matte effect. This video explains it nicely: czcams.com/video/j2speTWY87g/video.html
Hi sir! I'm planning to go to the US from the Philippines and get a Remote Pilot Certificate. Will it be a problem if I only have a visitor visa?
Yes, you can get a Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC) in the US with a visitor visa. The FAA doesn't recognize foreign RPCs, but you can visit the FAA DroneZone portal to complete the process for flying under "The Exception for Recreational Flyers". Hope this helps!
