Calling #blind mastodon. Anyone have tips, resources, or knowledge of how to make videos as a blind person, with a bias towards mac? Not merely recording them, but video editing, such as backing tracks, voice dubbing, transitions etc? Partner @RainbowRemedy wants to get into doing YouTube creation and is stumped with how to make them. As I said, Mac is preferred, iMovie/final cut/etc. REAPER if we must, but I've heard its video workflow is terrible. And it doesn't come with stock transitions anyway AFAIK. Help is appreciated! #video #ContentCreation #youtuber @mastoblind


Does anyone have a reliable way of capturing #DRM #video from a browser that doesn't require me to sit and watch it with all my system sounds turned off and hope nothing pops up in the background an hour in?
I would just sit and watch on the TV but channel 4 doesn't support audio-described content on their Fire app. So the rest of the family can enjoy it, as can 99% of the app's intended customers. Just us blind people left out again. Thanks, c4.

Jeff Geerling got the brunt of YouTube wrath when he showed people how to host their own media {media that they legally own, which means that they either have the originals, or have paid for whatever digital version they have} with the power of Open Source tools
Jeff explicitly made sure that he never ever told people how to circumvent subscriptions or worse. Nothing that could harm YouTube bottomline was ever discussed in this video.

Yet for reasons obvious to Open Source people like me YouTube gave him his second strike.

3rd Strike and you're gone. This is how Google / this is how Alphabet is treating their Golden Geeze.

Creators like Jeff are very valuable both to the people who follow them and to YouTube. However Google seems to be at Super odds with Open Source, needing it to run their data centers but hating it because they have to share the code again that they've worked upon.

Google is a paradoxical Company which is being controlled by Alphabet, a schizophrenic Entity drunk on power Ads and control

To me you're a star @geerlingguy keep Shining

Led By Donkeys: tank v Tesla.

You don't really need to watch this to know how it works out but it is remarkably fun to see a 98yo WW2 veteran drive a tank over a Tesla - "we crushed fascism once and we'll do it again!"

There are two modern ways to capture HDMI video into a computer using OBS. Both require a video capture card.

A PCIe video capture device allows you to capture and record video and audio from a device and save it to your computer through HDMI.

Besides a PCIe capture card, you can also use a USB video capture card. A USB video capture card is more portable, but you can only use one in each USB port.

I would like to share a very cool project I've been working on with a couple of other very talented developers: SVT-AV1 PSY

github.com/gianni-rosato/svt-a…

SVT-AV1-PSY is the Scalable Video Technology for AV1 (SVT-AV1 Encoder and Decoder) with perceptual enhancements for psychovisually optimal AV1 encoding. The goal is to create the best encoding implementation for perceptual quality with AV1.

We've already implemented a couple of unique features not present in mainline that do appear to produce BD-rate gains on a number of clips already!! Please check it out!

In the comments of the last #video, someone had asked René Fürst for an InfinityBook S 15 with a special configuration - we were happy to make the device available for a #review.

Recently, I uploaded a video from Bell Laboratories, Inc. featuring the first example of synthesized computer speech. Regrettably, this was the first upload of mine to receive a copyright violation. However, this was not due to the content of the record itself, but rather due to someone who had sampled parts of the record and used them in their own song. As far as I understood, YouTube's copyright and content ID match requires original creations that do not contain samples from another recording.

I conducted research to determine who now owned all of Bell Labs' patents and copyrights and discovered that it was Nokia. I was able to submit a form for licensing requests via their website and explained the nature of my channel and the copyright problem I had encountered while trying to showcase their record on YouTube.

To my pleasant surprise, Nokia was incredibly accommodating and granted me a no-charge lifetime license, on the condition that I add the message "Courtesy of Nokia Corporation and AT&T Archives" to the video, which I was more than willing to do.

Unfortunately, this process required me to edit the video and re-upload it. However, it is now up once again, and the copyright has been filed with the claimant, including all details of the license I received from Nokia.

Mindblowing 🤯

#Whisper is an #openSource #speechRecognition model written in #Python by #OpenAI. I’ve just seen it in action. Extract an #mp3 from a video, run it through Whisper, and it turns every spoken word into text. It even does a very decent job in #Danish. Perfect for subtitling #TV and #video. I am very impressed.
