![]() As you can see in Figure 4 (below), this brightened up the image considerably but added even more noise. To begin with, I adjusted the white balance and exposure in the Color panel and slightly crushed the blacks. This clip, a presentation from the Computers in Libraries 2018 conference in Washington, DC, is dark and already a bit noisy as shot. Here is a frame from the clip I’m working with in this example ( Figure 3, below). Denoiser in the Effect Controls Adjusting the Denoiser Effect ![]() As with other effects in Premiere Pro, the Denoise effect can be keyframed or applied to a portion of a clip via a mask.įigure 2. The Denoise effect appears in the Effect Controls for the clip ( Figure 2, below). Accessing the Denoiser effect in Premiere Pro As with any other effect, choose it and drag it onto the clip you want to denoise.įigure 1. Applying the Denoiser EffectĪs with other Magic Bullet plug-ins, the Denoiser effect appears in the Premiere Pro Effects panel ( Figure 1, below). You can work with it on different machines if you keep the license key handy, but you have to reactivate it every time you try to run it on a new PC, and naturally it deactivates on the one where you used it last. Unlike Premiere Pro itself, Denoiser III comes with only one license. I downloaded the Denoiser III Premiere Pro plugin, and it showed up immediately in the Effects panel in Premiere Pro CC. One concern our reviewer had with Denoiser II was the slow rendering times, so I expected that to be a drawback, though I was hoping things might have improved in the intervening years. We looked at Magic Bullet Colorista III in 2015, and reviewed Denoiser II way back in 2012 shortly after we launched Streaming Media Producer. When it came time to work on highlight clips from these particularly dark sessions, I knew I’d need some kind of extra assistance to make these videos usable, and the material was, in most cases, too good to waste, especially with a goal of delivering 80 highlight clips between this year’s conference and the next one in 2019.Īfter some research, I decided to try Red Giant’s Magic Bullet Denoiser III, which is available on its own ($199) or as part of the Magic Bullet Suite ($899). But that means I’m still introducing noise even if there wasn’t much there before. It doesn’t take long to get a fairly dark image reasonably bright. Premiere Pro CC 18 has great tools in the Color panel for addressing these issues, particularly with exposure and highlights. I prefer not to do it with too much gain in-camera because that means I’m starting with a noisy image in post, and things will only get worse from there. I can slow down the shutter speed a little to improve the low-light performance (not really a problem with speakers who aren’t moving much), but no matter what I do, if the room is dark, my video will be dark.Īll of which means that, at some point, I’m going to have to artificially brighten the image. ![]() These cameras have a lot going for them, including the ability to upgrade to 4K without buying a new camera, but the fixed lens doesn’t open as wide as I wish it did. My go-to cameras for conference video for the past few years have been the Sony PXW-X70. ![]() But if these rooms (or at least the parts of them where the speakers take up residence) are too poorly lit for good video, there’s very little I can do about that once the session is rolling. A few times I was moving chairs to make room for my tripods and plugging my Tascam into the soundboard as the moderator was introducing the next speaker.įor the most part, I’m shooting these sessions for highlights, so it’s not the end of the world if I miss a few seconds at the beginning, or even if it takes me a few minutes to get my shots framed and focused. Other times, like at a conference I shot in DC this past April, at several times during the show, I was asked to swoop in and do an impromptu setup in a room to grab a particular session, usually just a few minutes before the session started. But even with advance setup, if a speaker decides the way to get intimate with the audience is to come down off the stage and speak from the shadows, there’s not a whole lot I can do to make that speaker look good while I’m on-site. At most of the conferences I shoot, I don’t have a lot of control over how the speaker and stage are lit, but if I’m working in a given room throughout the week and can get in to set up the day before the event, I can usually work with the A/V crew to get at least a little more light on the speaker so I don’t have to use too much gain.

![]() No one wants to accidentally click on a NSFW meme while browsing their feeds during lunch. When did people start caring about NSFW community guidelines? Well, as online platforms became the new communal watering holes, it became clear that some sort of regulation was necessary. Nope, the culture around NSFW content sharing grew organically as internet users started looking out for each other, giving a quick heads-up when content might be a little too spicy for the workplace. But how did this term gain such widespread recognition? Let’s just say it wasn't born in a boardroom. When you see it slapped onto content, it's a heads-up that opening that meme or article could raise your boss's eyebrows or, worse, invite the HR department for a little chat. First off, NSFW, or 'Not Safe For Work,' is like the digital world's yellow caution tape. So, let's dive into what NSFW really stands for and how it's shaped our online and IRL experiences. The Cultural Impact and Origins of NSFWĮver wondered where that sneaky little acronym NSFW popped up from? It's like it just showed up one day and decided to plant a flag in the vast digital world. Now you know the lay of the land, manage your journey wisely! Whether you're exploring the wild terrain of Reddit, doing the Twitter two-step around touchy topics, or just trying to keep your online experience as clean as a Disney movie, remember: the NSFW tag is your sign to pause and think about where you are. They're like breadcrumbs, except they might lead you somewhere a little more. Trying to stay pure and innocent? Steer clear of the tags. Tags are your online compass for either finding or avoiding adult content. And let's not forget that legendary NSFW tag use. Ever dived into your settings and seen options for hiding sensitive content? That's your digital seatbelt to strap on so you don't crash into the NSFW territory unexpectedly. As for managing these online landmines, platforms have filters. It's like that friend who says, "You sure you wanna see this?" And it's up to you to bravely click "yes" and proceed or play it safe and keep scrolling. Twitter, on the other hand, deals with sensitive content by sometimes hiding it behind a warning message. That's online activism with a hint of risqué for you! Reddit also allows communities to self-regulate, with some subreddits voluntarily switching to NSFW to protest or make a statement. ![]() Users can mark their own posts as NSFW, giving you a heads-up that something racy is ahead. On Reddit, NSFW content is peppered like hot sauce across various subreddits. But what do you do with it? On social media platforms, NSFW is that red flag that says "hey, think twice before you click this at work or in public." Every platform has its way of handling the spicy stuff. You're scrolling through your feed, and suddenly a wild NSFW (Not Safe For Work) tag appears. Navigating NSFW Content on Various Platforms So next time you see that NSFW tag, you'll know it's not just internet slang-it's like an umbrella on a rainy day, it's looking out for you. Understanding NSFW is like having a Spidey-sense for when to keep scrolling and when to save that click for later. Remember, folks, with great power comes great responsibility. It's like the buddy system for internet browsing – it keeps you from getting lost in the wilderness of explicit content and helps you stay on the trail where you're less likely to stumble upon something that'll make your eyes pop out of your skull. In the social media jungle, NSFW is like knowing which berries are safe to eat and which ones will have you calling in sick the next day. 'NSFW' might be the classic, but you'll see 'SFW' (Safe For Work) or even 'NSFL' (Not Safe For Life - yikes, right?) popping up like unexpected plot twists. But guess what? This label has got some wardrobe changes it slips into now and then. ![]() It's content that would make your cheeks burn if someone caught a glimpse over your shoulder. NSFW basically marks explicit content online – and we're talking about the stuff that's steamier than a hot pocket fresh out of the microwave. It's a heads-up that's telling you, "Hey buddy, this content might make your grandma blush or get you a side-eye from your boss." It's like the internet's yellow traffic light, signaling that you're about to hit some content that's, well, not exactly boardroom-appropriate. Let's unpack that, shall we? NSFW stands for "Not Safe For Work," but let's go a bit deeper. So you're scrolling through your social media feed when you bump into the term NSFW. ![]() The Potion of Luck and the Potion of Decay cannot be brewed. Water bottles can be fished up as junk items.Īlmost all potions are obtained by brewing. Wandering traders have a chance to drop a Potion of Invisibility if they die while drinking the potion.

Step 1: Build a portal to the Netherworld. Switching to “Peaceful” mode probably wouldn’t be a bad idea either - at least until you return home. You may want to consider leaving markers, like torches, that lead you back to the portal. Remember, each block traveled in the Nether equals eight blocks traveled in the Overworld. That means you need to build a portal, enter the underworld, defeat monsters, and find a Nether Fortress without getting lost. The list of materials you need is rather long, and five of them reside in the Nether.

The initial iterations featured basic black lettering against a white background proudly displaying two numbers indicating vehicle registration year –a humble beginning indeed!Īs cars gained popularity rapidly during subsequent decades, so did innovations in licensing aesthetics follow suit. Each passing decade showcases distinctive designs that chronicle not only automobile advancements but also shifts in values and aspirations over time. Historical license plates are much more than numeric sequences or colorfully designed graphics they encapsulate stories deeply intertwined with pivotal moments in Michiganders’ lives throughout various eras. As early as 1910, these small but significant pieces began adorning vehicles across this Great Lake State – silently marking the evolution of transportation along with societal changes. The history of license plate issuance in Michigan dates back more than a century ago when automobiles were still novel contraptions on roads dominated by horses and wagons. Today, we delve into the rich history of Michigan’s iconic historical plates symbols that have witnessed generations come and go while reflecting the state’s cultural heritage. Amidst their purpose as mere identification tools for vehicles, these metal emblems carry within them whispers from days long gone by. When it comes to exploring a region’s past, one often overlooks an unexpected and intriguing aspect – its historical license plates. Unveiling the Rich History of Michigan Historical Plates: Exploring the Fascinating Stories Behind These Iconic Symbols Unveiling the Rich History of Michigan Historical Plates ![]() ![]() These plates serve as a historical tribute and can only be displayed on eligible vintage vehicles. The Short answer for Michigan Historical Plates is that they are specialized license plates issued by the state of Michigan to vehicles that are at least 26 years old, representing an era in automotive history. ![]() And shoebill storks are great at this! 9. To successfully ambush prey, they also have to remain silent while waiting for the right moment of attack. They will stand or sit in their hiding places for hours, waiting for prey – making sure to keep perfectly still to blend in with the darkness. They are patient and silentĪnother reason shoebill storks are excellent predators is that they are extremely patient. However, sometimes they even kill their siblings. This fighting starts at the age of 2 months and the winning bird usually forces the other to flee and live on their own. Young shoebills born in the same nest will fight each other to compete for their mother’s attention. Their aggressive and territorial behavior is evident even from a young age. You may also like: Why Do Ants Carry Dead Ants? (Reasons) 7. Their diet typically consists of lizards, snakes, fish, frogs, rodents, snails, and baby crocodiles. Their reinforced beak and skull are like shock absorbers during the thrusts. They will thrust out their beaks at great speed to surprise, decapitate, and capture their prey. These birds are ambush predators that mostly hunt at night. However, the shoebill stork is aggressive and known to attack and fight Nile crocodiles, especially if they are disturbed. Living in marshes and swamps can be difficult, with limited food supplies and plenty of predators. However, shoebill storks are actually closer related to pelicans. This habit has initially made scientists believe they were within the true stork family since all true storks use their own poop to cool off. Their poop has a lot of liquids and once the liquid evaporates from their legs, it helps cool them down. Shoebills practice the habit of pooping on their legs to help lower their body temperature – known as urohydrosis. They will fly with their neck and head folded backward to help them maintain longer flights with increased aerodynamics. ![]() These birds use their wings to intimidate predators, fly, and help keep their balance since they can lose balance easily when standing. However, when they fly, they have one of the slowest flaps of any bird, going at a pace of 150 flaps per minute. The shoebill stork’s wings can expand up to 7.64 feet, while the bird’s average height is around 3.3. The shape and size of their beaks give them an almost dinosaur-like appearance. Their large beaks curve down at the end, forming a hook, and they use this sharp curve to pierce through their prey’s bodies. The shoebill stork gets their name from their shoe-shaped beak that can reach up to 7.4 or 9.4 inches long and 4 inches wide. Shoebills can stay alive to see seven generations easily. The average lifespan of a shoebill stork ranges from 35 to 50 years, which is a long time, especially for birds. This increases the shoebill’s chances of capturing its prey, especially since lungfish are one of their favorite meals. ![]() They prefer habitats with poorly oxygenated water because the fishes tend to surface for air frequently. You can find shoebill storks in East Africa, especially in marshes and freshwater swamps of counties like Uganda, Zambia, Sudan, Kenya, and Tanzania. Let’s learn more about these odd-looking, rare, and aggressive birds with 14 interesting facts! 14 facts about shoebill storksįrom where they live and how they hunt to ways they cool off, here are 14 facts about shoebills. Their scientific name Balaeniceps rex translates to “shoebill, whale-headed stork,” and if you look at their head, you can probably tell why. A large and dangerous bird, the shoebill stork, is an interesting-looking animal with plenty of interesting facts about them. ![]() ![]() For bare minimum at this poster size, you will need a 3600×4800 photo at 150 dpi. For example, if you want to print a 30×40 inch poster at best quality, you will need a 4500×6000 pixel photo at 300dpi. Just make sure your photo size is at minimum the resolution listed in the table. However, if needed, you can get away with 180 dpi or 150 dpi for the sizes listed in the table. Ideally you should print in 300 dpi (dots per inch). In addition, size of the original physical photo matters- if you have a wallet size photo, you will need to scan at a high resolution and it may still be too small to print a large poster.īelow is a useful table of best image resolutions in pixels for ten common poster sizes: If you are scanning an old photo, the scanning resolution will determine how large of a poster you can create, similarly to the resolution of a digital image file. Some posters are also square, but those require cropping from the original photo. Many wall posters from photos are landscape, however some are portrait to emphasize the height of a subject. When you need to turn a photograph into a poster, you have to consider several things, including whether the resolution of your original photo is enough for the size poster you want, whether you are scanning an old photo, deciding on portrait vs landscape orientation, whether you want to create a poster in an extended panoramic ratio, etc. Regardless of the method you choose, ensure you check the quality of your photos before printing them into posters if you want the best results. Some of these apps use local printers, while others use online printing services. Use a smartphone app: There are many apps you can use to resize your photos into your preferred poster size.These services usually offer a variety of sizes and paper options, as well as extras like framing and mounting. Use an online printing service: There are many online printing services that allow you to upload your photos and have them printed into posters and shipped to you.You can bring in your digital photos on a memory card or USB drive, or you can scan physical photos and have them printed into posters. Visit a local print shop: Many local print shops offer photo printing services, either through traditional printing methods or digital printing.Next, adjust the print settings as needed, such as the size and quality of the print. ![]() Simply load your printer with photo paper, open the photo on your computer, and select “Print” (Ctrl+P).

![]() Still, it's David Attenborough's narration that provides the majestic on-screen imagery with something more. The camerawork is so precise and well timed, that most every shot is an almost cinematic feast for the eyes. The first thing I noticed years ago, and continue to appreciate to this very day, is the breathtaking cinematography. Of course, all the information and fascinating creatures wouldn't be compelling if the presentation left something to be desired, but this is where The Blue Planet separates itself from all that came before it. 8 episodes escort us from the coasts all the way down to the sunless depths, while even providing an intimate look at creatures that had never previously been filmed. Yet, BBC's Natural History Unit managed to pull it off in a grand and majestic way. I'm not dismissing the dozens of film crews that had to travel to every peak and valley in every conceivable climate on Earth, but acquiring and compiling five years of underwater footage into something cohesive? I'd imagine that's something of a nightmare, especially since the crews had filmed in various formats (16mm and videotape). Although it took five years to make and was the first to be filmed entirely in HD, The Blue Planet was just as massive an undertaking, if not more so. It's really a shame that Planet Earth is considered by many to be the dawn of awakening in regards to televised documentaries. With that being said, it was only a matter of time before The Blue Planet was brought to Blu-ray, and now that it's here, I find myself puzzled as to why such an important miniseries was given such a subpar release. Heck, it even opened some doors for the BBC, as the subsequent success of future documentaries - such as Planet Earth, Life and Frozen Planet - may not have been possible without the award winning template set by their predecessor. Not only did it enlighten me as to what lies beneath the ocean's surface, but it also opened me to the world of quality documentary filmmaking. Without any exaggeration, I can tell you it proved to be one of the better blind buys of my entire life. So, despite my distaste for documentaries at the time, I was compelled to pick up The Blue Planet - Seas of life a decade or so ago. This was especially true in regards to the ocean, because I always felt it was more mysterious than even the stars above. Being able to study unique ecosystems from the comfort of my home always took me to another place, as if I were observing life on another planet. The diversity of life that blankets our globe has always intrigued me, because there's so many strange and fascinating ways of life to try and comprehend. That's not to say I wasn't interested in the topic though, because that couldn't be further from the truth. No, just your bottom of the barrel, 'whatever my teacher decided to record off PBS' dreck. but then again, I wasn't exposed to the BBC's stellar line of work. Growing up, I felt nature documentaries were the ultimate bore. *Click on all images for full 1080p screenshots. What is really important for parallaxing is not the storage size, but the RAM-Size. ![]() Those never affect the game speed (not until they are large enough to cause many other problems as well), but only download size.Īnd most current players and computers have no problems downloading GB-sized games. What you have above are the file sizes for storage on the harddrive. Yeah, the error you spotted because I share an old screenshot, but actually I had fixed that.Īnd it seems that you missed a more important size number in your calculations. Woah I just know that we can do that by shift + click mapping. The Before version feels lack of something from what I think, doesn't it? Can we achieve this kind of graphic without parallax mapping? What do you think the method Kan Gao uses for his games, like To the Moon series?Įven it's a basic map, the player will spent around 5 minutes there to solve boxes puzzle (push and pull) as well as grab key on top of the cabinet. The inspiration came from The Mirror Lied from one of Kan Gao's games. I made a parallax in order to make the map/scene looks interesting and can attract the players, also for emotion/feeling. But the overall file is still around 1 mb. But yes, I can make the shadow of objects merge on base file. The shadow file, I made them separated because it is the shadows of the objects, it will be below character while shading is above. For turning lamp on and off, I need 2 shading files in order to achieve that (shading and shading-lamp). Maybe I can merge the light file (light of window) to shading file. I made them separated so I can manage them easier. But maybe there is a guide for this.Ĭlick to expand.Hi, thank you very much for your thought. How much size will be good for an overall game? I know it depends on the game itself whether use nice graphics, a lot of scripts, or the lenght of the game. Like how much size will be good for one parallax map? How to optimize it? What I want to know is, is that any guide to follow, the best practice, thus we will not go beyond the 'goodness'? 1.2 mb size for a map, 100 map will be around 120 mb. We know that parallax mapping usage will increase the game size in overall and may cause lag in potato computers. Room1-shading-lamp.png (212 kb) > used when the lamp is turned on Room1-base.png (484 kb) > floor, wall, and objects When creating this parallax map, it produced six files, they are: Before the development process is too far, I want to plan stuffs as much as possible, so it may reduce problems in the future. Hi, I just learned how to make a Parallax Mapping. |
