好きだから -- ぼ虹の日 edit

This is very self indulgent and I wasn't even expecting to finish it in time for boniji day. Maybe I just love the pairing so much I wanna make something for it also cuz I still haven't drawn anything about them lately cuz depression go brrrrr

This is initially from Nijika's POV towards Bocchi but some lyrics strayed from that especially the dog part and the last one. But this could also be from Bocchi's POV visualizing Nijika's feelings about her since the edit did start and end with Bocchi in it so...yeah that's how this edit is interpreted (also I kinda got stuck of not knowing what clips that could fit in some parts so ignore if most of the clips are from episode 8)

Btw at the 「またね」 and 「また明日」 part, I was originally going to put the same lines by both Nijika & Bocchi from the show but it sounds out of place so I scrapped it. Tho if I'm better at editing I could make it work and blend it along with the song without it sounding weird (but I'm not :P)

Another thing is that although the lyrics did say 授業 (class) / 放課後部 (after-school club) / LINE in some parts, I changed it to バイト (part time job or in this case I chose work) / 帰宅部 (go-home club) / LOINE to fit the terms in BTR

TOPAZ AI TUTORIAL

i was asked to do a tutorial for Topaz AI (a software that enhances screencaps), so here it is! :)

[tutorial under the cut]

i’m going to gif a 720p YouTube video from 12 years ago as an example. it’s the bottom of the barrel when it comes to image quality, but in the end, you won’t believe it was once so shitty. here’s the gif, without any editing:

THE APPLICATION

Topaz AI is a paid software for image enhancement. you can download it for free, but your images will have watermarks. here's a random link that has nothing to do with this tutorial.

you can use Topaz AI as a Photoshop plugin or use the software separately. i will explain both methods in this tutorial.

USING SEPARATELY

it’s the way i do it because it’s more computer-friendly, the plugin can take a toll on your PC, especially when you’re dealing with a lot of screencaps. 

you first take screencaps as you normally would (if you don’t, here’s a tutorial on how to do it). open Topaz AI and select all the images. wait a while for the software to do its thing.

on the left, there is your screencap untouched. on the right, is your edited version. if you click the edited screencap and hold, Topaz will show you the original, that way you can compare the versions even better than just looking at them side by side.

Topaz AI will automatically recognize faces, if any, and enhance them. this can be toggled off, by disabling the “recovering faces” option in the right panel. it’s always on for me, though. you can tweak this feature by clicking on its name, the same thing for the others.

Topaz AI will also automatically upscale your screencaps if they’re too small (less than 4k). it will upscale them to achieve said 4k (in this gif’s case, the original 1280x720 screencaps became 4621x2599). i suggest that you let the app upscale those images, giving you more gif size flexibility. you can change into whatever size you want if you want something less heavy to store. don’t worry though, even these “4k screencaps” are very light megabytes-wise, so you won’t need a supercomputer. it might take a while to render all your screencaps, though, if you’re on a lower-end computer. (the folder with the edited screencaps ended up being 1GB, but that’s because it contains 123 screencaps, which is a lot of screencaps for 4k giffing).

two options won’t be automatically selected, Remove Noise and Sharpening, you will need to enable them to use them. rarely i don’t use Remove Noise, as is the best tool to remove pixelization. the Sharpening option depends on the gif, sometimes your gif will end up too over-sharpened (because of Topaz’s sharpening and later your own). that said, i used the Sharpening option on this gif.

next, select all images by clicking the “select all” button. you will notice that one of the screencaps’s thumbnails (in my case, the first one) will have small icons the others don’t have. this is the screencap you enhanced. you will need to click the dots menu, select “apply”, and then click “apply current settings to selected images”. this way, every screencap will have the same settings. if you don’t do this step, you will end up with one edited screencap and the rest will remain untouched!

all things done, click “save X images”. in the next panel, you can select where to save your new screencaps and how you want to name them. i always choose to add a topaz- prefix so i know what files i’m dealing with while giffing.

just a note: if your way of uploading screencaps to Photoshop is through image sequence, you will need to change the names of your new screencaps so PS can perceive that as a sequence (screencap1, screencap2, etc). you can do that by selecting all the screencaps in your folder, then selecting to rename just one of them and the rest will receive numbers at the end, from first to last. you don’t need to rename them one by one.

here’s the first gif again, without any editing:

without Topaz enhancement but with sharpening:

without sharpening, only the Topaz enhancement:

with Topaz enhancement and sharpening:

her skin is so smooth that it is a bit unrealistic. i could have edited that while tweaking the “Recovering Faces” option and/or the “Remove Noise” option, but i prefer to add noise (filter > noise > add noise) when necessary. this way, i don’t risk not enhancing the quality of the screencaps enough.

i added +3 of noise, making the gif look more natural. it’s a subtle difference, but i thought it necessary one in this case. you can continue to edit your gif as your heart desires.

VOILA! 🥳

AS A PHOTOSHOP PLUGIN

if you have Topaz AI installed on your computer, Photoshop will recognize it. you will find it in filter > Topaz Labs > Topaz AI. while in timeline mode, select the filter. the same Topaz AI window will pop up and you can tweak things the same way you do when you use the software separately. by using the plugin, you don’t need to upload your edited screencaps or use screencaps at all, a video clip (turned into a Smart Layer, that is) will suffice. the downside is that for every little thing you do, Topaz AI will recalculate stuff, so you practically can’t do anything without facing a waiting screen. a solution for that is to edit your gif in shitty quality as you would edit an HD one and at the very end, you enable Topaz AI. or just separately edit the screencaps following the first method.

this is it! it's a very simple software to use. the only downside is that it can take a while to render all screencaps, even with a stronger computer, but nothing too ridiculous.

any questions, feel free to contact me! :)

Do you have any tips/useful information for people who want to start making audio rps?

(Also love ur content sm!!! Mitch is the most lovable little guy)

Aw thank you so much! Love him too!

This is a great question, had to think about it for a bit;

If you want to dabble with making audios, feel free to start off with public scripts! I think there's subreddits like ASMR script haven (IIRC?) that has public scripts that can be filled by anyone. Just be sure to read the author's conditions carefully i.e. credit, terms of use, what can be changed etc. Right at the start I recorded a public script to try and get started, it's a great way to just jump right into making something to learn the ropes of it without also first having to write an entire script for it too. Filling public scripts is a fantastic way to start off, however I reckon writing your own stories is a major part of the fun!

You don't need an expensive mic, but audio quality is a very important factor. Do some test recordings and listen back to them (with headphones!) and see how it sounds. This is especially important for whispered scenes (DO NOT get too close to the mic or breathe on it!) or loud scenes (DO NOT peak the mic!). If your mic has a gain / input dial, play with that before recording! Just start with mono to begin with, play with stereo if your mic supports it after you become familiar with it. Aim for your recording to be no louder than -6db at the highest, if you can keep your voice roughly between like -20 and -6 that tends to sound reasonably natural.

Do your best to eliminate external sounds! If you have AC or anything like that on, turn it off. I have to shut down my main PC and record with only my editing Mac on because the PC fans are much louder and my mic is very sensitive! There'll pretty much always be background fuzz, some mics will just have some, but try to make your room as quiet as you can. Your software may have some background noise removal tools, I use filters for that (expensive so I can't recommend them), but DO NOT use the noise removal tool in Audacity! It's terrible!

Speaking of, Audacity is decent to get started with. It's good basic recording software, plus multiplatform. For a while I preferred recording on Windows with Audiodope, also very simple, plus I liked that it asks me whether I wanted to record in mono or stereo first in case I forget to switch, I currently record on Mac with ocenaudio which does the same, while Audacity won't ask, you have to go into settings. Anyway Audacity is okay to start with for editing, it's free, but from what I understand it's a "destructive" editing software in that after you make a change like adding a filter, you can't then go back in and change it other than just undoing, which I really don't like, plus changing the timing of things looks fiddly. I don't know what to recommend to move up from, I've heard good stuff about Reaper but it looks very complicated. Avoid Adobe unless you have a free subscription from somewhere else. I edit entirely in Final Cut Pro so I can't recommend that unless you're on Mac, plus it's my old work software and expensive! If you need sound effects, I use freesound.org, there are other great free resources as well, but make sure you check each individual sound effect's license before use.

Once you've edited the audio and want to turn it into a video, I've heard good stuff about Da Vinci Resolve and Kden Live, both are free! Make a video canvas of 1920 x 1080, FPS doesn't especially matter if you only have a still thumbnail, 25 or 30 is fine, and render it out as a h264 mp4 if you're not sure what to select! Good compression for internet video, good for streaming. Try to record and export your audio as wav if you have enough space, wav is uncompressed audio so it maintains full quality but they can get large.

I also make my thumbnails in-edit but you may want to use external software like Gimp to make them. Avoid getting random stuff of google especially anime boys / girls, and definitely don't ever use an artist's stuff without asking for permission + giving proper credit. Using pre-built generators like Picrew is totally fine, just be sure to credit where you got it from, but 100% avoid AI generators, obviously. Be careful with Adobe stock images, apparently there's AI slop in there too. You don't need art for audios though, they're a nice to have bonus, but many of my most viewed videos have no art at all. If you need background images, I like unsplash.com because it has a free license! Read over it yourself but basically you're able to use pretty much any image they have in your videos!

Just jump in and try making something small, never start with your magnum opus! I started with the introverted incubus character because I'm a very shy person myself, it was an easier role to get started with! If you want to start writing your own scripts too there's a lot we could talk about there as well, just try to picture the scene from the perspective of the listener, what they may be thinking or feeling at any given moment, not just the perspective of the character you're going to be playing!

This was a lot and I don't think I covered much, I hope some of it helps though!!

[katatty]

Hi, Kat! Fellow UK simmer here - been following you for a while here on tumblr (love your MCC posts), and am currently binging all your YouTube content after recently stumbling across your channel! I have a quick question related to YouTube, if you don’t mind answering, as I’m interested in potentially making some videos of my own. May I ask what software and setup you use to record your videos? As your audio is very good, I presume you use a mic? Your screen recordings are very smooth so I’d be interested in what programme you’re using, although I’m sure your computer has a lot to do with that. I hope my question makes sense! Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello! I don't mind answering at all, I am answering it publically in case anyone else is interested but do feel free to message me if you want to chat in more detail, I'd be happy to talk shop :) I wish I had people to talk to when I started out, I was too intimidated to approach anyone lol!

(and aaaa, I'm flattered to hear you are binging my channel, thank you!! its funny (but nice!) hearing a compliment on my audio bc I am self-concious about it and think it is not the best, hahaha)

I use OBS Studio for recording, which I think is pretty standard. But I do my video editing in Vegas Pro which idk if its common (I think people usually use adobe these days?) but I used a pirated version of Vegas to make AMVs back when I was a teenager so that was what I went with XD

I do have a decent PC but also play with low cc when I am recording for Youtube, as the game runs a little smoother and doesn't lag too much, which I think looks nicer on video! I also delete all my raw footage after I have finished editing/rendering as the files can get pretty big

edit: forgot to include this (idk if useful) but my OBS settings are set to recrod at 60FPS at a resolution of 1920x1018

I do use a mic! My first few videos were just recorded on a cheap bluetooth headset I used for work but the sound quality was pretty bad, haha. TBH I don't know much about mics, my partner is a musician and has a bunch of mics & equipment so I just borrowed his stuff lol! The mic is an Audio Technica AT2020 condenser microphone and its plugged into a M-Audio M-Track Solo USB audio interface (as the mic wouldnt plug into the PC otherwise, the interface also lets you adjust the gain which is nice) but idk if you really need something that fancy. I usually see people reccommend the Yeti mic for YouTube, which doesn't need an audio interface, idk if it is actually good or not but it seems like a popular choice?

Although if you are just starting out, I would not invest in any expensive mics or anything right off the bat - since you want to see if you actually enjoy the process of making videos first before spending any money on it! (For me at least I spend a LOT more time editing footage than recording it, it's very time consuming, although I think some creators do a lot less editing so its a style preference maybe). IMO Just start out with whatever you have and you can always upgrade later.

Also, the main thing I learned quickly which I think helped me about as much as using a better mic was having good "mic discipline". That's like, making sure your head/mouth is always the right sort of distance away from the microphone, making sure its positioned properly, trying to keep the volume you speak consistant, etc. I am still not always the best at this tbh! but am getting better :D

Hope this was useful!! Like I said, please feel free to msg me if you want to chat more about YT stuff :)

141 Task Force Streamer AU!!!

the ghost force channel began with just you and Simon in the beginning. simon came to you with a proposal after hearing some of his coworkers chatting idly on their break.

simon works his ass off since graduation. he had to. to get him mom out of that hell hole. to help his drug addict of a brother.

normally he would’ve rolled his eyes at the slackers, but the conversation caught his interest. that someone could make a living off of playing video games and whatever else. (he had to search up markiplier and pewdiepie to fully understand)

simon had to ask you about the idea. he wasn’t the best versed in technology, nor did he have good, working computer. (each time he booted up the old hand me down laptop it sounded like it was about to blast off into space.)

you had jumped at the idea. you nodded happily as he slowly explained what he had overheard. then shyly asked if he could borrow your pc.

it was kinda funny though. simon would whip out his glasses and squint at the screen as you taught him the basics of how to video record and download games.

when you first opened the editing software he just slowly looked at you. blinking slowly like a cat. there was no way he was gonna be able to understand all this.

so you promised you would learn just for him.

it took a few recordings of you and him messing around to finally get him comfortable talking into a microphone. because this man doesn’t talk. he just sits in silence and observes most of the time.

you jokingly call him grandpa. in return he just gives you this dead stare.

it took a lot of time to think about the channel name. simon didn’t want it to sound dumb, nor too try hard. (you teased him about the new lingo)

he settled with ghost. because if this didn’t work out, he would just disappear. and because this was a side gig, something bound to fail.

you tacked on force at the end because you knew. you knew that whoever was going to watch his first video is gonna be a simp. I mean, have you heard his voice??

the first video recording was around thirty minutes of good old minecraft. seemed popular enough. and paired with simon’s deep voice and his dry humor, it was all set to go.

you reassuringly rubbed his back when he posted the first video. you could see in his eyes and from the way he wrung his hands he was a bit nervous.

that same day you ushered him home to rest.

that same night was when it began.

the simping.

you had to filter the majority of the comments in the beginning because you just didn’t have the heart to show him all the thirsty comments about his raspy, deep voice.

he was just happy to have a bit of extra cash. that he didn’t have to work himself to the bone if this channel grew.

and grew it did.

not only was everyone really liking his voice, but also his dry ass humor and dark jokes. coupled with the fact that for some reason he was really good at learning game mechanics, you were able to easily record and edit.

him angrily clicking on the red bed and being told there’s monsters nearby.

“good night moon. good night tree. good night zombie that i cant see but i fucking know you’re there.”

fucking hates dating sims. but his audience thinks it’s funny for him to dryly play the protagonist.

“goddamn it i dont wanna fuckin’ talk to you ya bloody muppet.”

he’s not allowed to play dream daddy anymore from the pure frustration that radiates off him. that and because you don’t want his blood pressure to rocket.

loves lying and tricking his viewers. makes up the most absurd background information about himself because he just thinks it’s funny.

“i wasn’t born for this fuckin romance. i was born for politics. been told i have great hair and i love lying.”

you chime in every once in a while and have funny little text chat comments. especially when you have a counter about the amount of times he insults something with the word muppet.

he’s british. his accent is too powerful for the simps. there are too many videos making fun of his british-ness. next video title is called damn Americans reviewing all their stupidity in return.

you call his fan base little poltergeists because damn do they make a tonna noise. their so vocal about his voice and dry humor. that and because they love clowning on him.

he gets bullied for playing valorant instead of apex. in return he mops the floor with anyone who stream snipes his games.

loves mystery games. and action games. anything in general he can shoot and lie and absolutely destroy other players

he’s a little too good at among us to be healthy.

overall 10/10 recommend coparenting a channel together with simon.

ps he’s known for this one quote that went viral.

“im going to defeat you with the power of friendship… and this knife I just found.”

And another question - how long do you draw? What drawing programs do you use and how to achieve the same drawing skill as you do?

Hii!! Here too a big sorry for not answering this ask earlier I simply had no idea it existed haha I'll answer regardless!! I've been drawing more or less seriously since 2012! Which is when I got my very first drawing tablet too hehe ever since then I've been in love with digital art!! I used to draw most with my PC desk setup and Painttool SAI (the first version) with my Intuos Pro M that is also 10 years old by now and i never got a different tables for my desk setup hahaha For the past couple of 2-3 i switched to the Ipad with Procreate! I love how convenient it is and I really fell in love with procreate as a software!

Regarding skill or something like that, I personally don't consider myself a good artist because I lack technical skills tbh! I think i am like average at best lol I lack fundamentals and I never do real studies- I do like to think that I'm pretty good with picking colours!! I like to watch YT videos on other people doing studies or techniques and trying to keep an open mind and eye on other media or styles- I love graphic design, I love video editing, I love concept art, I love brand design and other layout stuff and i think looking outside your own field in art helps you to expand on style and visual understanding. Sometimes i make sketches, sometimes i do lineart, sometimes i skip all steps and just start painting, i think its important to not limit yourself in how you work or what you do! Art is just about having fun!! Which is probably always my main advice for drawing or art. If you have fun, if you love what you make and if you keep an open mind and are willing to expand your horizon, then everything else will just come from alone!! Like I genuinely love what im doing and I love my own art and i think that's more important to me than technical skill :) (and i just want to point out that this is my personal opinion and I do acknowledge that technical skill is not just important but also beautiful to look at and essential at many jobs in the art field, I just personally don't like studying hahahah)

[saamaton]

hiiii many many amv ideas came to me in a dream (courtesy of brat ofc) but unfortunately, i know fuck all about editing so i figured i'd ask u creator of the brat f1 amv that lives in my head rent free !! mostly just wondering where u get clips from + how unreasonable it is to make an amv in windows' native editor (climpchamp)? thank you <3

hi anon!!!

i'll be honest i might not be the best person to ask this but i'll try my best to answer!! hope it helps at all lol <3 if anyone else has better suggestions/other good tips pls feel free to give them i'd also be happy to know them!!

so! finding clips is always the most difficult and probably the most time consuming part of making an edit for me.. but usually i just try to look for ready scene packs that all the very lovely people on the internet compile 🙏 but f1's own youtube channel also has a lot of very good content! you just have to know what you're looking for over there and you'll have to skim through a lot of other content to find the good stuff,, but their channel is especially good for racing content itself (obviously) and their videos are almost always available in 1080p which is a huge perk!! they also have some of their own compilation videos which can be very useful. and ofc teams' own social medias have a lot of content and usually their youtube channels have a lot of good video content about race weekends beyond the race (which, i think i'm stating the obvious here but yeah)! so honestly it's a bit of a scavanger hunt and you just have to be patient, especially if you're picky with the cohesion of your clips like me 😭😭

and i'll be honest with you i know nothing about clipchamp 😭 i used to use premiere pro until the free access i had to it at the time stopped and then i couldn't be bothered to find a good pc alternative.. but honestly i think it totally depends on what kind of editing style you're going for! if you have a similar style to mine i'm pretty sure most editing softwares have the capacity for that! as long as you can import clips, music and fonts and can work in enough detail (!!!) you can probably make it work with enough time!! ofc then the main differences between softwares are in the interface, intuitivity and usability so it might take a bit of trial and error, as well as getting used to, to find a software that works for you! then again if you want to use more fancy effects, transitions and tools you'll most likely have to look around quite a bit and usually free softwares don't have super great options on that front unfortunately.. there's a lot of recommendations on the internet tho so if that's the case you'll just likely have to spend quite a bit of time researching and trying stuff out but you might find something very good from people's recommendations ! (if you do pls share them with me lol)

also i can't believe i'm exposing my best kept editing secret just for you anon BUT if you're not opposed to editing on mobile i'd very heavily recommend an app called inshot, which is what i use!!! i think it has a super super impressive variety of different kinds of effects and a lot of very useful tools you don't find in every editing software! they keep constantly updating it and adding new features too, it's been heavily updated in the past couple years and seems like it'll just keep getting better! plus it's completely free, you just have to watch an ad while exporting your final video lol,,

anyways i hope you find something useful in my ramblings and i hope you succeed in your amv visions 🙏 pls let me know if you ever post any, i'd love to see them <3

The Best Screen Recorders with Audio for Your PC

Recording your screen along with audio can be a game-changer for creating tutorials, recording gameplay, or conducting online classes. Having the right screen recorder that captures both video and audio seamlessly is essential for producing high-quality content. Let’s explore some of the best options available, highlighting ScreenRec for its efficiency and ease of use, along with other noteworthy tools.

What Makes a Great Screen Recorder with Audio?

When selecting a screen recorder with audio capabilities, consider the following:

Ease of Use: The tool should be intuitive and user-friendly.

Video and Audio Quality: High-definition video and clear audio without lag or desynchronization.

Editing Features: Tools for basic to advanced editing of your recordings.

Sharing Options: Easy and secure sharing capabilities.

Cost: Evaluate the balance between features offered and affordability.

Top Screen Recorders with Audio for PC

ScreenRec: ScreenRec stands out for its simplicity and powerful features. It allows you to capture high-quality video and audio effortlessly. One of its best features is instant sharing through a secure cloud link, which is perfect for quick communication and collaboration. ScreenRec is free, with unlimited recording time once you create a free account, making it a budget-friendly choice. Its user-friendly interface ensures that even non-tech-savvy users can start recording with ease. Additionally, ScreenRec encrypts all recordings, ensuring that your data remains secure.

OBS Studio: Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) Studio is a free and open-source screen recording tool known for its extensive features and customizability. It's particularly popular among gamers and live streamers for its ability to handle multiple sources and live stream directly to platforms like Twitch and YouTube. OBS Studio supports high-quality video and audio recording but comes with a steeper learning curve due to its vast array of features.

Camtasia: Camtasia is a premium screen recording tool that offers a comprehensive suite of editing features, such as annotations, transitions, and effects. It's perfect for creating polished, professional videos. Camtasia supports both screen and audio recording, making it a great choice for producing detailed tutorials and marketing videos. Despite its higher price tag, its advanced capabilities make it a worthwhile investment for those who need detailed editing options.

Bandicam: Bandicam is favored for its ability to record high-quality video, particularly for gameplay. It supports high FPS recording and includes features like real-time drawing and webcam overlay. Bandicam also supports audio recording, capturing both system sound and microphone input. It’s ideal for users who prioritize video quality and detailed recording options.

ShareX: ShareX is a free, open-source screen recorder that offers various capture methods, including full screen, window, and region. It also provides a range of editing and sharing tools. ShareX supports audio recording, though setting it up might require some additional steps compared to more user-friendly tools like ScreenRec. ShareX is suitable for users who appreciate customization and don’t mind a bit of a learning curve.

Why ScreenRec Stands Out

ScreenRec excels in providing a seamless recording experience with minimal setup. Its user-friendly interface ensures that even those who aren't tech-savvy can start recording with ease. The instant sharing feature, combined with secure cloud storage, ensures that your recordings are always accessible and easy to distribute. For users needing a reliable, no-cost solution that doesn’t compromise on features, ScreenRec is an excellent choice.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right screen recorder with audio capabilities depends on your specific needs. If you’re looking for a simple, effective, and free tool, ScreenRec is highly recommended. For more advanced features and professional editing, Camtasia and Bandicam are excellent options. OBS Studio and ShareX provide powerful features for free, though they come with a learning curve. Regardless of your choice, having a reliable screen recorder will enhance your productivity and communication.

My Recorded Video [edited by: Filmora 9] 🎦���️: ↑

• Once again, in my recorded video, I'm showing off one-by-one of my trio of PC upgrades before I installed. 🖥️🔧🙂 Please, enjoy my unboxing video. Otherwise, you could at least check it out my snapshots, down below. ↓ 😉

14th to 24th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• Okay, unboxing time - snapshot edition! 😊 First off is the CERVVO GPU Card. This box contains a Product Specifications booklet with few instructions, and the main item covered in anti-static plastic to prevent conducting electricity. I also mentioned, that the GPU Card also available in black color, but the seller gave me a white variant. After all, it matches the color from the old MSi GTX 750 Ti GPU.

25th to 29th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• Speaking of, here's a comparison with my aforementioned one, and in terms of length & size sees through our visions. 👀

30th to 33rd Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• Okay, let's moved on to my next item, this is the Ad-Link HDMI to VGA converter. And I confirmed, that the AOC's old VGA port would fit in right through the converter. Plus, a 3.5mm audio jack port built right in, with the included auxiliary cable. Although, I don't need it, to be honest. 🤷‍♀️

34th to 42nd Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• And finally, the Fuzion PC power supply. With no additional accessories, this thing will slapped on any format desktop tower case. And unlike my old PC power supply, aside from the aforementioned PCI-E ports, the 24-pin ATX power connector cable was covered in nylon braided-ish material. Yes, I said "Nylon-Braided" because it looks like one, although the material doesn't have the same as the soft thread nylon-braided ones from our existing USB cables for mobile devices. 🙂

43rd Image 📷📲 [Jan 12th, 2024]: ↑

• Ah yeah, I forgot. Here's the specs information about the old PC Power Supply from Powerlogic as a comparison against my new PC Power Supply from Fuzion. ⚡🖥️ To be honest and in my opinion, I wish my new Fuzion PC PS (Power Supply) would have the same specs as my old Powerlogic PC PS. Just saying. ☺

Well, that's the end of my "Part 2". "Part 3" is now available! Pls proceed → [CLICK ME!]. 🙂

And GOOD NEWS! I'm attending my job as a "Volunteering Worker" for the "Person's With Disabilities and Senior Citizen's Cash For Work Program"! 😁👷‍♂️ "Four hours" on weekdays for "Four months" until I get paid! So, I'll do my best! 😊

Well, that's all for now.

Help In Jimin Promotion | How to edit Positive Jimin content

Creating positive Jimin content

Want to make a jimin edit but don't know how?

In this post I will do my best to guide you through the basics of editing so you can promote jimin in a positive way.

Before you start to make your Jimin content, and ask yourself the following questions:

📍 What do I want people to think about Jimin after they watch the video? 📍 How do I want them to feel about Jimin after watching the video? 📍 What do I want to achieve with the video? 📍 What do I want people to do after watching the video?

Having these goals in mind will help give you a clear picture of what you want your content to achieve in the long run for the benefit of Jimin's image.

Remember: we want the content to highlight him in a positive light.

After you thought carefully and planned your intentions, let's start editing!

For Youtube Videos:

Editing softwares: I recommend Movavi and Filmora, both are free to use and are very beginner friendly.

For more advanced editors, Sony vegas pro is a great one.

Watch editing tutorials on youtube for the specific app/software you want to use, and edit as much as you can. You don't have to be the best editor out there to make good jimin content, just edit as much you can, the more editing you do, the better you'll get.

if you feel a little lost with what type of content you want to make, look at your favorite edits/videos, study those and use them as a guide for your edits. (make sure to put on your own unique spin on them).

Note: it's not always about having tons of effects in your videos, sure it looks cool but having too many effects can actually distract from the point you're trying make across to the viewer, so sometimes less is more.

Text to speech - if you're not sure you want to use your voice for videos, text to speech is the perfect alternative to make your videos more engaging without having to do that. There are plenty of free text to speech mobile apps out there, use the most simple ones for your videos.

If you're using a PC/windows, all you need to do is use OneNote, the app is usually already on your computer but if it's not, simply download it from the microsoft store. Write the text you want to use for your videos, and then have the app read it to you through clicking on immersive reader, record it with the windows free voice recorder, and there you have it!

All you need to do is transfer the recorded track to your editing software, match your video clips with voice recording and you're done! This video explains step by step how to do this:

Background music: For tiktok, you can add any music/sound you want in the background, but If your video is meant for youtube, make sure to use copyright free music.

For Tiktok/Youtube shorts:

There are plenty of tutorials out there on how to make tiktok edits, the more popular ones to tend be made with:

CapCut app

But you can make a tiktok edit with any software as long as you make the video 19:6 (vertical).

There's definitely a need for more informative tiktok videos with accurate facts on Jimin, so you can use the text to speech for those as well!

Editing is a fun and effective way of relaying information in a way that sticks in people's mind, which is what we need in order to counter the false narratives, change the narrative surrounding Jimin and introducing him to new people.

And most importantly:

Make sure your content shows Jimin for who is, free of any false narratives and tropes. Show people the qualities that make him the great person and one in a lifetime performer he is. Make them see what YOU see about Jimin.

We can't blame people for not knowing what we know about him, we need to show it to them.

Making content is the best way to do so. The same way that haters spread misinfo about him, is the same way we need to spread positive info about him. Make people see what made you a fan and inspire more and more people to show their love for Jimin openly.

Ok so for all my windows using friends. We all know that new windows photos is dreadful and extra slow and bloaty on slower computers. There is a better solution for photo viewing on your PC, and as an added bonus this comes with a photo managing app that does many of the same things as adobe bridge. Oh and it's free.

What is this stunning software you ask?

Great question! Back in 2002, Google created a nifty piece of software known as Picasa Photos. They eventually killed this software in 2016 to focus on the infinitely more spying Google Photos (I'm not kidding about Google photos having privacy issues. They literally got sued over this in my home state of IL for violating our biometric privacy laws. I got paid $500 from Google for this btw). Moving on, Picasa slapped and that's why they killed it. Fortunately I am not the only Picasa Photo Viewer 3 enthusiast on the internet and there are others who saved the installation exe files. That said, I have helpfully found one that works which you can now download from my google drive here. Note that you cannot use the Google Photos/Google Account related options in the software anymore as Google has discontinued support for it.

Picasa has it all for the person who needs a good photo organizer:

finds ALL photos in your documents, downloads, and pictures folders for you.

ability to open and edit camera raw files

ability to add tags to photos, sort into folders, locate in the system etc.

basic photo editing tools with a good histogram. one of the best editing tools they have, which I would argue is almost on par with a tool from the adobe camera raw editor is the "neutral color picker" tool, where you can select an area in the picture to set a custom white balance in the image (easiest, best color correction). Also contains a primitive healing brush tool.

very good at red eye removal. I used that feature a lot back in 2005.

good printing options (easy to print multiple copies of the same photo on the same page in a variety of standard sizes.

ability to create a photo collage with multiple photos or a photo slideshow video

sort by person tool

lots of fun filters to apply to images if that's your thing.

add custom geotags to photos using another dated google product, google earth.

create a gift cd of photos or create poster sized versions of your photos that print over multiple sheets somewhat like the rastrabator.

the image viewer part is slick, lightweight and fast unlike windows photos. It allows you to quickly arrow key through your photos in a very nice way.

Allow me to show you some screenshots of this glorious piece of abandonware.

anyways, tldr; this piece of abandonware is the best, most glorious free photo viewer for windows, and as a person who's been using it for the last 18 years I highly recommend it to everyone who does not have adobe PS & Bridge and also anyone with windows who wants a quick way to preview photos in their folders.

Best video editing software for free on pc

Best video editing software for free on pc

[night-dragon937]

i have a dilemma and i need Opinions.

basically i started streaming on twitch nearly two years ago and I've never had a large audience or consistent streaming schedule but I've always really really enjoyed it. i haven't streamed since like summer due to irl issues but then the whole charity thing happened, with twitch promoting the trans and autistism hate groups. they did remove support for the trans hate group but not the autistic hate group, their official statement basically said "if you don't like it, sucks for you. we are choosing to support this." despite the multiple links people provided in the feedback section about how bad the hate group is.

which makes me really not want to stream to twitch!! but the only other option, youtube, is just structured so differently that unless i have a following through posting videos, I'm not gonna have people come to streams which sucks. the best part of streaming for me is talking to chat. however my current pc cannot run video editing software, so my only option is streaming.

however im getting to a place irl where regularly streaming is a possibility but i don't really know how to feel about streaming to twitch again. on one hand, i absolutely love streaming, on the other hand, im still really upset about the whole autism speaks situation. advice would be very helpful please

How to Choose the Best CPU, RAM, and SSD for Your Next Computer Build

Building your own computer can be an exciting and rewarding experience, especially when it comes to selecting the right components that align with your needs. Among the most critical components are the CPU (Central Processing Unit), RAM (Random Access Memory), and SSD (Solid-State Drive). These parts influence the speed, efficiency, and longevity of your system. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to select the best CPU, RAM, and SSD for your custom PC build.

Choosing the Best CPU

The CPU is the “brain” of your computer, directly impacting overall performance. The first step in selecting a CPU is understanding your build’s purpose:

Gaming: For gaming, focus on CPUs with high clock speeds and multi-core performance. Processors like the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X or Intel Core i5-13600K offer excellent single-core and multi-core performance at a reasonable price. Content Creation & Video Editing: If you’re working with resource-intensive applications like video editing, 3D rendering, or software development, opt for a high-performance multi-core processor. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X or Intel Core i9-13900K provide exceptional performance for demanding workloads. Budget Builds: If you’re on a budget, consider entry-level CPUs like the AMD Ryzen 3 4100 or Intel Core i3-12100, which are suitable for general use and light gaming. The number of cores and threads plays a significant role in multitasking. A higher core count improves performance for gaming and resource-heavy tasks like video editing. A six-core CPU is ideal for gaming, while content creators should look for CPUs with eight or more cores. Clock speed (measured in GHz) also matters—higher speeds result in faster performance. For overclocking enthusiasts, CPUs with unlocked multipliers, such as Intel's "K" series or AMD Ryzen chips, allow for performance boosts.

Choosing the Best RAM

RAM is crucial for multitasking and handling demanding applications. For most users, 16GB of RAM is the sweet spot, providing smooth performance for gaming, productivity, and light multitasking. However, the specific demands of your build will influence how much RAM you need:

Gaming: 16GB is typically sufficient, but some modern games may benefit from 32GB. Content Creation/Video Editing: For tasks like video editing or 3D rendering, 32GB to 64GB is recommended. Budget Builds: For basic computing, 8GB can suffice, but upgrading to 16GB ensures a better experience. RAM speed also affects performance. DDR4 RAM with speeds between 3000 MHz and 3600 MHz is ideal for gaming, while content creators may benefit from faster DDR5 RAM speeds of 4800 MHz or higher. Latency is another important factor; lower CAS latency results in faster access to data stored in RAM.

Choosing the Best SSD

An SSD is essential for fast load times and system responsiveness. There are two primary types of SSDs: SATA and NVMe.

SATA SSDs are more affordable but slower, with speeds up to 600 MB/s. They’re a good choice for budget builds. NVMe SSDs, on the other hand, offer much faster speeds ranging from 1000 MB/s to over 7000 MB/s, making them ideal for high-performance builds. Popular options like the Samsung 980 Pro and WD Black SN850X are excellent choices for gaming or content creation. Storage capacity is another consideration. For gaming, a 1TB to 2TB SSD is recommended, as modern games can take up a lot of space. Content creators may want to opt for 2TB or more, especially if they work with large video files. Budget builds can get by with a 500GB SSD, though you may need to expand your storage later.

Conclusion

Selecting the right CPU, RAM, and SSD is vital for building a computer that meets your performance needs and budget. By understanding the demands of your build—whether it's for gaming, content creation, or general use—you can make informed decisions that will ensure your system runs smoothly and efficiently. The right combination of these components can lead to a fast, future-proof machine that will serve you well for years to come.
