So... yeah it seems like if you go via the createKeyframe() route for an effect paramter with a color value, the resulting keyframe will ot have the passed color as its value, seems like the blue component gets distorted in some way. Maybe I can reverse the change but idk if it is fixable on my end.

How is it looking for the world cup by the way?

Can I just say that in week 3 it feels insane that the USA started a war with Iran basically out of nowhere, with no big strategy or goal other than maybe to disrupt the IRGC a bit. And basically everything that smart people had predicted a long Iran war would lead to is actually happening.

I tihnk this is an important observation. There are a some (especially software engineers), that simply will use AI for everything. Writing an actual algorithm to solve a problem? Nope, just query a LLM every time with the algorithm's description copy pasted from wikipedia as prompt.

I love coding, I love how adobe handles things, I love that colors are of course given as percentages and for some reason can be bigger than 1 (can I clip them or do things explode if I try that?), I love that one component o the color can seemingly just dissapear when I create a keyframe with it.

Not there completly, but I finally managed to transfer all effects from one trackItem in one sequence onto another trackItem in another sequence... Just that a few of the parameters were wrong and some keyframes seem to have gone missing. So more debugging.

Instead of politics, have more destroyed video.

Have an unreasonably large (like 45MB) gif, which probably will be compressed to death.

Sucks is that heating is gonna get more expensive too. Besides that,

Oh no, PointKeyframe does not actually seem to hold a PointF obvject as value, but an array. The adobe type file however says it does hold PointF. Also the createKeyframe method for PointKeyframe, wants a PointF as an input value. So more changes to the type file and more bug fixing in my code -.-

I wanted to watch the full afroman court appearance but then I got high.

I am hittinga limit of my small JavaScript knowledge. I need to distinguish three cases. The thing I am given is either a Color, a Keyframe, or a PointKeyframe. But neither Keyframe nor PointKeyframe seem to exist as objects I can check against via the given API; Color works though.

Y'all remember the price shock that happend two weeks ago in oil futures? Good that in the days after that things cooled down. Now I am going to take a big sip of my coffee and take a look at the current prices.

Something still doesn't work and I am too tired to further debug. Gonna get some sleep and hope tomorrow the code magically makes sense. Honestly really frustrating that the parameter stuff got so much worse to handle than I intially thought.

I just realized I need to test the createSetValueAction with which I can set a parameters initial value for non-time varying components. Because the getter for intial-values like that returns more than just Keyframes, I have the feeling that this function also accepts more than just keyframes

wait, fuck, this is gorillaz

An internet person once said that you do not have to hand it to them, and he was right. The thing about all these right wing freaks is, that they will eventually say something that in a vacuum you might agree with. But that doesn't mean you gotta give them any credit.

Pain, suffering even. I forgot that there are three distinct possible answers for "give me the start value", one being a keyframe, one being a point keyframe (that does not have the same methods+parameters), and one being just "Color". I captured one case, and of course forgot about the other -.-

I’ll spell it out clearly: Kent’s words translate to his antisemitic followers as “Trump was tricked by the Jews into an unpopular war that is killing Americans”. Kent is antisemitic, and friendly with White Nationalists. People who see a grand “Jewish conspiracy” behind all the evils of the world.

Why, after years of scrutiny, isn’t there any evidence that large numbers of children were given irreversible treatments without assessment? “The journals are corrupt! And the doctors are corrupt! And the debate was suppressed! And the data is coming out any time now!” Like listen to yourselves

Got a basic function working to copy effect components via code. Tested it only manual with opacity so far, but it seems to work fine even with copying keyframes. Next I need to play around with how I want to identify effects and how the flow of creating them and pasting the parameters should work.

I do love it very much that US allies react to Trump asking them for help with the mess he started with "Wow, crazy. ngl we have other things to worry about atm. Anyway your country is so strong, like you always mention it and all, so gl hf"

The documentation for the way you get the intial values of properties from components is, I think wrong. It says you get a Keyframe, and then that Keyframe has a vlaue which can be a string, number, Color, Point etc. But in reality the intial value returns already a Color, Keyframe, or PointKeyframe

I guess it was something in my code, trying pretty much the same thing with the UXP dev tool playground works for some reason which is good news. Now on to trying to change parameters.

After crashing Premiere ~20 times today I am concluding that the way how VideoEffectComponent works is not that great. It doesn't even seem like you can access the two standard components and that has me very confused. Like the amount of components is 3 but if I try to get 0 or 1 it crashes

apparently Gyges' Anti-Anti-AI block list was seeded with anyone who reposted "I Am An AI Hater" by @anthonymoser.com it's a great essay and apparently if you repost it the bros will avoid you anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Nature published another pile of trash i am trying to catch up on some of my reading but this one is getting under my skin so here’s a thread highlighting why this piece is either ill-informed or intentionally ignorant of a wealth of knowledge from embodied cog sci and related fields 1/

Okay this is fun. I have nt checked all parameters of the effect, but at least for some the value is not stored under CurrentValue like one might expect. No, it is stored in StartKeyframe (the '134.'). This is slightly confusing as the effect I used for the preset does not have any keyframes.

The argument made in the paragraph hardly works because: those are different Models! Besides points like "was the solution already in the training data in some form?" it just is bad to try and aggregate the very specific build capapbilities of models to make a generalized argument like AGI.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

The premiere-uxp sample panels do explain how to add effects but I have no idea how/if you can change parameters. My tests so far indicate that it is not possible atm but who knows, maybe I am missing something. Also it seems not possible to access preset effects at the moment which is kind of sad.

Fun fact of the day: Adobe's .prfpset files, with which you can export/import custom effect presets, are just xml files and in theory you could write a custom parser/schema for them. This fun fact was brought to you by the (seemingly) inability to target preset effects via the premiere API.

It is not that great that the Premiere UXP API documentation has links to classes that are not in the documentation. From the naming schema I think I know what they can do and how to use them, but still feels weird to click a link in the official doc and get a 404.

Jürgen Habermas is dead; a loss for the world imo as he was outspoken and critical of the right things even in old age. He had a long live with many opportunities to write, and I hope many future philosophers have to read his works.

Movie night and we watched "One Battle After Another". I found it kinda bad. It does get better in the second half or so, but the beginning would have made me turn it off if I had been watching alone. Also it might have political themes in it, but if so they did not make them very clear.

This is so tragic it's actually incredibly funny
