1) Paid for 4K camera that you do not need
2) Waste time downscaling to 1080p
3) Lost all the advantage of images in larger scale
4) Waste time upscaling
Linus Tech Tips uses this workflow for their 4K cameras (see video). That was two years ago. They now have 8K RED cameras ($140K each) but probably still use the same workflow.
"You mean I get paid more for doing less editing? Sign me up!"
Depends on how you edit your video. Casey Neistat typically spends eight hours editing his videos and most of his videos are in the 10 to 15 minute range. Of course, he is a professional filmmaker.
What kind of nonsense is that? Do you understand how video compression works? Take a 4K picture, compress it to a 10KB JPEG and then "upconvert it" to 4K again, it will look like shit.
Some video editors will take 4K (or higher) video, downscale to 1080p for editing, and then upscale to 4K. Although 4K video is becoming common, not everyone has a computer that can handle a 4K workflow.
I got news for Hollywood... I usually pay $5 to $10 for a HD movie on iTunes. Since none of my PC monitors are 4K, and I don't have an Apple box for my 4K TV, I'm not interested in paying extra 4K video. Apple will eventually discount the 4K movie to $5 to $10 anyway.
You can thank Youtube for that, since they pay more for videos over 10 minutes.
IIRC, The average watch time on YouTube is 2.5 minutes. YouTube wants people to stay on their website for longer periods of time. If a video can entice people to watch longer than the average time, the algorithm will reward creators for doing that.
Unless publishers plan to do vlog-style videos (i.e., "Watch me as I make the news!"), they still need script writers to pull everything together before they start shooting video.
They laid off employees in their 40's and 10's. Now all they have left are grumpy 63-years-old employees. At that age, watching video is easier than writing.
Miracle workers are never afraid to ask for a second opinion. Supervisor gave me his opinion — and a mess to clean up. Lesson learned from this incident: if something isn't quite broken, break it.
No, I'll keep on believing that the world works the way our understanding of physics, biology, and chemistry says, until I'm offered proof to the contrary.
I'm always overjoyed to hear about people living perfect lives.
[...] you had a moment of lucidity last weekend...
I no love longer play with my trolls on the weekends.
That would be an even bigger problem since "plug and pray" refers to the ISA cards of the era, and has nothing at all to do with USB, Mr 20 Years IT Miracle Worker, Who Also Happens To Be A Mountain Of Muscle.
You obviously have never worked with the first implementations of USB under Windows, especially when it came to video game controllers. ISA worked fine if you had your jumper settings for the each card documented.
That last part of your post made me very happy. There's a time when you just have to go "excuse me, can I see that for a second?" SMASH "There ya go."
One time I handed a keyboard to a supervisor and told him that I thought it was broken. He took the keyboard, slammed it against my desk three times, scattering key caps all over the place, and then handed back the obviously broken without a doubt keyboard.
Sorry, Caramel Apple, you don't get to turn the conversation about your lies into a woe is me litany of how people never believe you.
Thr people who do believe me are the first one to run screaming out the door. One fellow didn't even bother to open the screen door first. So believe your own lies, it safer that way.
You're right. It perfectly explains that he knows everything about his 30 co-workers that speak to him at the same time, while being in a smaller group than the other teams of 20 people.
My co-workers and I have been working together for three years. You can learn a lot by listening to the people whom you work with on a daily basis. Our team has 30 people. Other teams have 50 to 75 people. We all do the same amount of work.
Especially with my current government IT job with its super-sized enterprise environment. I'm almost afraid of not being able to get a regular corporate job if I don't stay with the contract after it goes up for rebidding.
Just sayin', you're a fucking liar, and a bad one at that.
Of course, I'm a liar. My experience doesn't conform to your belief of how the world should work. Therefore, I must be lying. If I'm not lying, than your belief of how the world should work is wrong and you're fucked. Which is easier... accusing someone of being a liar or changing your belief?
If you don't like working for Google, presumably you also wouldn't like working for Twitter or Facebook.
If you worked at Google, recruiters are less likely to consider you for positions at small- or medium-sized companies. I got pigeonholed as being an enterprise-level technician because I worked at enterprise-level companies (i.e., Fujitsu, Sony, Intuit, Google, eBay, etc.). Some of those companies I've worked for on multiple contracts.
Slashdot Mirror
Anybody with about 3 days of IT experience should be able to determine whether or not a keyboard is broken.
Including a keyboard that mostly works except when it doesn't? Intermittent failures are hard to troubleshoot.
Yes, he probably smashed the keyboard on your desk only because he couldn't legally smash it over your head for being a time-wasting moron.
Really? I thought he was just being an asshole.
What a dumb lesson.
No, a practical lesson. When you have a PC with a intermittent failure, you can wait for it to fail or break it to request reimaging.

I was looking at a table top radio at a store recently where it had FM but no AM. How can you have a radio without the AM band?
You're a troll. I'm playing with you. Now run along and lick your balls somewhere else.

I know that supervisor very well. He told me that he was just mad because you were trying to plug a ps/2 keyboard into the USB port.
That would be a problem since "plug-and-pray" USB wouldn't become widely available until several years after that incident.

The blue screen of death is something that many officers don't want to deal with personally.
Until you provide a bit of proof to the contrary, that's it.
So you can turn around call me a liar again? People have been playing that game with me for years.
The list goes on.
Your list is full of shit.
Your serve, Moby Tits.
You sound bitter.

[...] given that your idea of "weight training" is sitting cable pulls.
That's part of my workout today. I don't want to get bigger, I want to get slimmer. I wasn't doing sitting cable pulls 10 years ago.
Fat weak guys who say they need to eat more to get strong are hilarious.
I was eating 4,000-calories per day during that year. Too. Much. Hamburger. Meh.
