Been maximizing the storage efficiency of my @jellyfin #library by exploring with tricks from the #AV1 #codec. I didn't realize this until now but AV1 has a #film grain effect that is stored as metadata vs being a layer of media that gets compressed in the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I'm planning to make a video about it soon but in my journey of replacing my #mac with my #linux desktop as my sole workstation, I started using FadeIn. It's not open source but it's an industry supported screenwriting app that runs natively on Linux. Though […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I can't say enough good things about Shutter Encoder. It's an excellent, user friendly way to manage media, batch convert clips, and is now an essential part of my post-production workflow. #linux #opensource #foss #gnome #floss #bazzite #fedora #film […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I'm exploring all the #film tools available on #linux I have used DCP-o-Matic on my Mac and so pleased to find how well it runs on my #Bazzite desktop. There is no need for a proprietary solution. I have used this app to premiere my films at the Chinese […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Shout out to @nuxttux and the tutorials for @kdenlive As a long-time Resolve user I have yet to do any mission-critical, "pays the rent," projects on it but honestly I'm getting closer. I'm dabbling with some test sample footage from my film "Indigenize the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

#linuxjournal Jan. 30 2026 My first attempt at properly editing something on #kdenlive I've edited simple stuff shot on my phone but this is raw LOG footage from my cinema camera and applying LUTs I've created from power grades developed in Davinci Resolve […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

#linuxjournal Jan. 12 2026 As a longtime #davinciresolve user I'm giving serious thought to embracing #kdenlive in my creative and professional workflow. Full 10-bit support and GPU acceleration might be the thing to seal the deal but in the meantime I've […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

If you're a #screenwriter #contentcreator or #filmmaker and you use #Fountain syntax for distraction-free writing this might be for you. I too like getting my first #draft this way but the long list of #monochrome text makes it hard to quickly skim scenes […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

#linuxjournal Dec. 11 2025 I'm not a serious #gamer so I won't be breaking down benchmarks or anything. As you can see I'm playing something that is nearly 7 years old! All I want to say here is that ever since my first install of #ubuntu in 2010, I am […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

#linuxjournal Dec. 5 2025 I've been trying #kate #kwrite in @kde for my work as a filmmaker. I've found .fountain syntax useful for distraction-free #screenwriting but it's hard to quickly scan through my script when everything is just a long line of […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I'm working on a suite of add-ons for #blender to support the my filmmaking. I'm far from the first person to turn the text editor into a screenwriting tool but just like the VSE add-ons I'm making I'm deliberately adapting the feature sets found in […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I'm still catching up on all that @kdenlive has to offer. Love that it supports 10-bit color and hope that support keeps growing. As a long-time Resolve user the idea of switching to something free and open source. without losing a step, is the dream. In the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Last year I divested from #spotify to consume music more intentionally and pay directly to artists or via #bandcamp and now I'm taking it a ridiculous step further in my nostalgia for physical media. I merged all the tracks of each album as a single file. No […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
