@TaranVH 6 років тому

Go watch "superconductivity as fast as possible" for me being awkward AF in front of the camera.

@ClayMann 6 років тому

he's a natural. I don't think he even knows it. Probably feels very self conscious but much like many nerdy/geeky (and I use that term in a positive way, I'm a nerd!) as soon as you give them a subject they care about. They can make the best videos you'll ever find if you want to know stuff rather than pass the time waiting for some drama.

@dylansmith287 6 років тому

Taran Van Hemert Good Job on the video Macro Key King.

@Ziirf 6 років тому

Taran Van Hemert First of all, great advertisement. I just went back to look at the video, but i couldn't help but to notice a few things, it is 3½ years old with no background sound or visuals with a rather bland topic in my opinion. Plus your will always be biased towards your own performance. - Comparing the two, the older is obviously worse, but i wouldn't call either of them "awkward AF", you do seem to feel more confident in yourself in the latest video though. Keep it up.

@SentiBM 6 років тому

This right here is a recipe for a great video. Give the topic to someone who is really passionate about it and uses the product/service daily. That's why Taran's videos are always so good and to less extent (just my personal bias) Brandon's about cameras. That's why I like listening Linus talk about the company's history, business ideas etc. on WAN Show. All other videos are good, but not really that interesting, scripted by one person, somewhat mindlessly presented by the other.

Sure, but you still need to read them, and most have full words or multiple words. It'd still be like one of those giant word search puzzles, and even then you might not even be looking at the right keyboard.

@GrahamHaley 6 років тому

TARAN - you should have a look at 'Unified Remote', I'm sure there's a spare tablet or two lying around the office, it's fairly easy to program layouts by looking at the examples and then easy to make it run auto hotkey scripts. Basically does the same as the stream deck for how you use it in Premiere but for as cheap as the spare tablet lying around or a cheap android tablet. Fairly sure you can also have multiple devices connected to the server too so you could surround yourself with hotkey tablets.

@GrahamHaley 6 років тому

True Andy, I find that with a 10" tablet in a fixed position on my desk muscle memory gets close enough most of the time. Just one of may things to weigh up along with cost, flexibility and ease of use
