Blackmagic Design

And now QuickShare understands video as well.

Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve has AI in Telescript for timeline assembly and Multicam Smart Switch for camera selection.

And of course, Avid Media Composer has PhraseFind AI and dialogue searches and ScriptSync AI for script-based editing.

Of course, AI is also being used for other things like masking, dialogue cleanup, captions, translations, and reframing content for different platforms.

The MCP provides a way to access tools and data.

The agent uses those connections while carrying out a task.

Blackmagic Resolve is exploring agentic AI capabilities via MCP, as is Adobe, namely via their CEP and CXP extension and panel architecture.

And similar ideas are emerging in media management and workflow automation.

But

Blackmagic let us use a camera in kind.

So that saved on cost.

Oh, wow.

And not only that, this is actually kind of brutal.

Since I was shooting with the Blackmagic camera, the white balance was all off.

I can't remember what time I was recording it.

Was it after 5.30 or 6 o'clock already? But the white balance in Blackmagic camera app that I was using...

locked in at a certain time and it just kept the same white balance.

So I turned progressively more orange as the episode progressed.

So that is the sort of the issue that I have right now.

And I'm not sure if entirely it's going to work out or if I'm going to have to change it over sometime or just give up entirely.

It's just one of those things.

Now, I'm just happy Blackmagic gives us support of some type.

But as long as you understand the limitations, you can actually work around them and things are perfect.

so let's get into all the issues that you're going to run into with resolve and how to fix them now first up what are you going to use for your operating system are you using ubuntu are you using arch linux are you using debian or any kind of different uh operating system other than that well you're probably gonna have problems right out of the gate so just to straight up blackmagic's resolve is built for red hat enterprise linux or rocky linux or alma linux those rel based distros that are years old are the ones made and they do that because those systems don't need to be updated every single day or every single month you could leave them for years and they're still going to work but modern linux users will not use these operating systems and everybody online will not use these operating systems because they're boring but they're very reliable So having said that, let's see how to fix it for a common Linux desktop user.

The first problem is getting around that library mismatch.

I made an entire other Git repository called resolve-linux, and in it, I have something called resolve-fix.

Essentially, what's happening is The people at Blackmagic aren't great with Linux, and what they've done is they've preloaded some stuff or some libraries with their executable or their binary, and then other things are pulling from your system.

The things that are pulling from your system, they're looking for really old libraries, and those libraries are already newer, so they can't use those newer libraries with the older ones because it's just referencing older ones.

And I didn't see it because I was busy watching.

I had the Blackmagic feed over top of it.

This whole movement towards doing video podcasting has thrown a bit, is a new workflow for me because what's happening is now I have, it makes it a lot, I should be using two screens to get this done, which complicates things, especially if I'm going to be traveling, but I'll deal with that when that becomes an issue at the time.

But I had the Blackmagic app over top of Logic, so I didn't see that it was not, recording properly so once i finished the podcast and before i ate my steaks um it was i found out that uh it just stopped working so it was all garbage gargley and everything so it was no good so i ended up having to use the uh dji microphone which is uh plugged into the the iphone recording the video so my apologies about that i also i think yesterday's episode was I was talking about, I mentioned in the episode, I want to focus the episode a little bit more.

But my intro to the episode, I think, was botched because what I was going to do, what I was going to say is like, stakes are in, should record right now.

Let's get it done and then move on.

Officially moved away from the cell phone, got back into the camera, although An argument could be had that my cell phone videos are just as good.

Which if I can ever figure out this Blackmagic Design app on the phone, which makes it seem more like a DSLR, I would probably just record with a cell phone and use my DJI mics.

The audio is going to be messed up from time to time.

The video is going to be messed up from time to time.

I'm just looking at the video here.

I'm using Blackmagic once again.

A little update there.

I have gone to 1080p on the Blackmagic cam program, but I set the tint and it looks like I look a little bit more orange than... normal.

So it is declining or dissipating, disappearing sunlight.

We're shooting this at 5.33 p.m.
