How To and Review: Lightworks

Emmanuel How To's, Reviews 0 Comment

Problems and solutions!

  • Multi Cam video out of sync (GoPro and phone video)
    • Convert using Handbrake to Constant frame rate
    • If you make proxies with variable frame rate and import your high quality video, the proxies will still be variable frame rate and wont edit correctly.
  • Constant loading of app, cursor turns to spinning wheel every other second when clicking through clips.
    • Right Click on clip>Media>Create Proxy
    • Click on
  • Switching camears in Multi-cam view not working
    • Switch to flexible layout, multi-cam functionality not possible in fixed layout
  • Move Lucy to a different spot
    • Move preference box to a location you want Lucy to be, right click Lucy and  drag to the place you want her, then let go and quickly click on the “save preferences” Button
  • Sync Multi-Cam video ( Make sure you have Constant Frame Rate on video first!)
    • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjpdVp11MsA
  • Cutting Clips
    • Place red cursor on video and press c or del, then right click and close gap, this doesn’t work on tracks with multiple video!
    • use in-point and out-point, place track where you want to make initial cut, then press “i” then take red cursor to last point and press “o” then press delete
  • Edit audio and adding keyframes
    • Hover over the audio track with your mouse and hold SHIFT. This will let you add keyframes to the audio in order to adjust the levels
  • Using Proxies (for lightning fast editing!)
    • Right click clip>Media>Make Proxies
    • Click on project title>Video>Playback Media Quality>Lowest available

How To: Fix the Soldering Iron Error “S-E” or “5-E” (Kendal 852D++)

Emmanuel How To's 0 Comment

I took out my soldering iron ready to soldering random stuff and was very sad to find that it was displayed the error “S-E” or “5-E” instead of the temperature displayed. I quickly googled some stuff quickly realized that the soldering element had gone bad. I’ve had the soldering iron for about 4-5 years and it’s always worked great, never dropped it or was rough with it, but eventually the heating element will go bad.

How to: Replace Serpentine Belt Honda Accord LX 2007

Emmanuel How To's 0 Comment

After getting a regular oil change at my local mechanic, they always check various other things and often things come up, which makes my wallet tense up as it will often mean spending more money. Last time I went I was told my serpentine belt needs to be replaced, I looked at estimates and found it would be about $100-150….As with any projects and jobs, I suggest doing some research to get a good estimate on how much work it takes, where most of the cost is spent, and how difficult of a job it is.

After looking at a youtube video and talking to a friend who is a mechanic, I decided “I can do that…”

How To: Fix a voicemail that goes directly to scam/ads/robocaller messages *86

Emmanuel How To's, Random 0 Comment

I got a call form an unrecognized number, so I let it go to voicemail. I later tried to delete the message but the voicemail kept calling the scammer/robocall/ads phone number as opposed to accessing my voicemail. I kept getting a answering machine with a prompt to “connect with local singles”. As much as I am interested in connecting with local singles, I am more interested in deleting this message and access my voicemail.

Review! Sunset Sunrise Alarm Clock (Instructions Included!)

Emmanuel Reviews 0 Comment

I’ve been tempted to get one of these clocks for a while. Luckily I found one at my local thrift store for $3.50!! Without instructions it wasn’t too bad to setup, but understanding how it works was a nightmare without instructions. I thought it was a sunrise ONLY alarm clock, BUT the button under the FM radio is actually the sunset on/off button! I kept setting the sunset alarm as my wakeup alarm thinking that was setting the 0-100% brightness alarm, but what it was actually doing was going from 100%–>0% brightness as the time was reached. The sunrise alarm feature is controlled by the regular alarm (Bell icon).

How To: Fix Error: Could not find an installed version of Gradle — osX macOS

Emmanuel How To's 0 Comment

Problem: “Error: Could not find an installed version of Gradle either in Android Studio, or on your system to install the gradle wrapper. Please include gradle in your path, or install Android Studio”

My problem was also that the path wasn’t available system wide, I could say $gradle -v” in some terminals but not all, the solution below fixed this issue. This problem was happening when I was trying to build an Ionic App for android, I had Android Studio installed as well.
