Status Report: June 2nd, 2021

Hey everybody,

I know the immediate question. Where's the content been? In the bin, mostly. It really doesn't feel like June to me. Though nothing's been released, a lot has been done, just unfortunately, not in regards to releasing content. Mostly, cancelled projects, and depressing personal matters that I'd rather not delve into here, as it's not the place for it.

This isn't Therapy, this is meant to clarify what's going on behind the scenes.

Luckily, what's above is a new video that's almost completed. Just need to place footage for newly added sections, touch up the audio, and add credits. I've actually got a Therapy session at 4pm, so I'm not going to say it'll definitely be done today, but cross fingers.

Part of this month's work was testing other editing software to see if a more effective workflow could be achieved. To tell you how desperate I was, I've got Vegas on my machine.

It's Playback's still king of the hill, but good lord, I have been spoiled in terms of project management since giving up that software when it was called Sony Vegas. I returned to DaVainci Resolve and it responded by crashing multiple times, and the latest version of Premiere? ...Blow my brains out.

So for now, I've gone back to the Wife, Premiere Pro 14.0, and so far... it's gone off without a hitch. One crash in multiple days of rapid editing. If this workflow can be maintained, then completing videos won't send me down a pit of depression like it did with the Mobile Games video. That was a torturous cocktail of hardware and software issues that've allowed me to speak from experience on being gang banged.

For those of you sticking around, really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Without your support, this would definitely be a month where I'd be reaching into savings for rent.

Hope you'll enjoy the video!

Best wishes,
Raycevick
