I’m Switching to...#Helpful Post

I earn blackboard so cool your guys

johnathan here not too long ago did an

office tour which debuted the shoe wall

but since then there's been a couple of

key upgrades specifically one that might

be the biggest upgrade ever this is the

jellyfish by luma forage

so hopefully over the past couple of

months you've noticed a couple things

not only the increase in output of

videos but also the increase in quality

of videos and the only way that happens

is by building an awesome team so by now

some of you have probably made the Kevin

Kenton connection to the point where

some people think I'm stealing his set

and in actuality it's actually part of

one bigger project Sun squared media

which branches out into TLD my dumb face

and then Kevin Kenton which is led by

Matt aka Matt's Mackintosh rich

hypebeast Howe and mr. Andrew a spat man

so now we've finally started to build

out the TLD team instead of me being

dumb and obsessive and the first piece

of that puzzle is mr. JD Tech and then

rounding things out we are blessed with

mr. fresh aka chill aka Courtney and

young Stevie you kind of float in

between Kevin Kansas and TLD and add

their sauce to everything now recently

with some of the bigger TLD projects the

iPhone reviews the iPad pro review which

should release sometime with air power

that is currently sitting around 8

terabytes of footage so my storage life

was in complete chaos I have a giant

Pegasus drive which is like 16 terabytes

I have 50 billion Samsung external SSDs

I even tried moving that entire iPad pro

review to an external list C Drive that

was like eight terabytes in raid but it

was still slow it was like pulling teeth

so everything was just like out of

control enter the jellyfish by luma fort

which has completely changed the game

this is packing a hundred and twenty

terabytes of storage now because of the

raid setup 80 that is usable but the

beauty is is you have one blazing-fast

unit that connects to all of our

computers through 10 gig Ethernet in

this case we have five iMac pros 120 18

Mac Mini in the idea of not worrying

about storage or messing with drives or

transferring footage from computer to

computer is so freakin awesome so it's

about to get a little meta for a second

I'm gonna show off a couple things one

it's the first time setting up the

jellyfish on this Mac Mini in two the

idea is that we just shot a Kevin Kenton

video so I'm going to import to organize

set up a Final Cut library and then the

minute Mac can open it up on his iMac

and begin the chop so yeah that line is

server 5000 Pro June here is cool the

problem is though you need a bunch of

lionesses and Terrans run it around to

operate it and the idea here is that

even though yeah it does work with Final

Cut Pro 10

Adobe premier resolved to me it's kind

of like the final cut of shared storage

where I've never set this up before on

this Mac Mini I'm gonna go to auto setup

let it do its thing seconds later I'm

gonna just pop in the password and in a

second we should see everything which we

do so prior to this we have two

locations set up one for TLD and then

one for Kevin Kenton so with the Mac

Mini the idea behind this is supposed to

be kind of like the import organize

stations so I'm actually going to mount

both of these and you have an option

here you can choose to just mount them

every time or you can set them up to

mount every time we're gonna select Auto

so with this every time you turn the

computer off or restarted these will

auto mount every time which is awesome

so for this particular project we're

going to head over to me Kevin Kenton

share this is his predictions on the

future of gaming head over to the

projects folder

December 2018 create a folder 2019

gaming predictions I'm going to first

create an a roll folder predictions a

roll I'm gonna hop over to this view

just to make things a little easier and

there are better and I guess some more

secure ways we can do this in the future

for now we're getting better every step

of the way just by copying this way so

I'm gonna copy and paste that and you

can see I mean that is a crapload of

footage that is copying pretty damn fast

and the idea that we're not only storing

files and projects off one location we

were actively editing it on multiple

computers which is bananas so the aerial

footage is done I'm gonna hop in and

then transfer the audio today is a 24th

Christmas Eve so from there we're gonna

launch open Final Cut Pro and I'm gonna

show you guys how we would actually set

up an actual project in library to then

begin the edit so what I'm gonna do is

head over to new library we're going to

look for at Kevin Kent's and jellyfish

share jellyfish

Gemma Canson projects December 2018

gaming predictions

so that is a library and recently what

we found works the best is having each

video project as a library that way if

someone wants to open it up on that

computer or this computer we're not

running into each other or stepping on

toes so for here go ahead and rename

this event so from there there's a

couple things you want to do as far as

modifying your library so that's

actually if you hop over to the top here

go over to the modify settings tab and

storage locations we want to do two

things one we're gonna change the media

folder and create a new one in that

folder where we organized everything so

we're gonna find that Kevin share

projects gaming predictions and we're

going to make a folder called 2019

gaming predictions I can't spell

Protection's media next from there we

want to actually create a cache folder

as well now you don't have to do this

part but if we're going like the full

organized route this is going to be the

ideal way to do things so we're gonna

take one step back a new folder 2019

gaming prediction cache and then we're

going to change the emotion content to

in library you can leave backups the

same and from there we are good to

import now there is one important thing

you want to do here and that's to leave

the files in place because otherwise

it's gonna copy it and duplicate you're

just not gonna want to waste that much

storage in this case because I already

created that a role folder I want to

leave this keyword marker checked here

from folders and that's gonna

automatically create a keyword

collection and keep things nice and

organized so up here we already have

that Kevin Kenton share we're gonna hop

over to projects

Gaming predictions give me a little more

space we have that a roll and I'm gonna

want to import the actual entire folder

because again it's gonna create that

keyword collection and keep things nice

and tidy import selected and you should

see it's a really really quick process

because we're not copying anything over

to the drive it's already there in place

we're just kind of referencing things so

that's all done I'm gonna go ahead and I

always drag this all the way here just

because I like seeing everything in

place if I'm gonna be an extra nice guy

I'll actually sync the files format so

we can just open up on as iMac and start

shopping right away

so we're gonna give us a name gaming

predictions

we're gonna go to custom settings we're

gonna make this a 4k video Kevin is not

in 2 to 1 so we're gonna leave it at

3840 by 2160 okay so first up we're

gonna actually sync these together and

because the camera we shot out here does

not have any camera audio we're gonna do

it the old-fashioned way and use the

clap plus the waveform so in this case

I'm gonna actually have that turned off

for audio synchronization good there you

to drop it in the timeline I'm gonna go

ahead and find Kev's clap points or

actually it was matic clap in this one

alright

so marker 1 to drag these over so we got

those synchronised 2018 is quickly

coming to a close and what we had a lot

of awesome games come out on the

hardware side things alright I'm gonna

go one step above and beyond I'm being a

double nice guy and start this color

great format and see if that opens up

there's not a lot we're gonna do here

I'm gonna pull out a little bit of green

and there's actually a video that I did

with Patrick over on the luma Ford's

channel that kind of talks about the

backwards way I edit and why I do that

so make sure you guys check that out but

we're not gonna do a whole lot I'm gonna

pull some green out because we tend to

have a lot of green things the plants

the trees that come out everything in

life is a balance so it naturally adds a

little bit of green I'm gonna then add a

little bit of warmth in the mid-tones

which is skin cool off the shadow is

just a little bit

not that much and then from there I'm

gonna go and do what I kind of call like

the B saturation where I'm gonna pull it

up on both the shadows and the

highlights and then crank it down in the

mid-tones because that's where the kind

of like the skin tones live and this way

it's not gonna be like overbearing it's

looking pretty healthy I'm gonna like

pull the highlights down a little bit an

exposure that's looking clean maybe I'll

pop the red on his beautiful Christmas

sweater a little bit bringing that up

and overall I think that's looking

pretty good maybe you know if you want

to be artsy you can go throw on like a

color curves and kind of give it a

little bit like that that ludie look

that's that's too much that's clean I

feel like that's good so there we go

before after before after but if you

look at the horizon of what's coming in

2019 and it'll be on that there is a lot

of stuff going on all right so if I find

his first copper Cove because we were

there we know this is the last we got

this like beautiful smile we'll figure a

way to throw that in somewhere so we're

gonna take a look at what hardness will

be on that there is a lot of stuff going

on so we're gonna take a look at what

hard news we have what rumors have been

circulating and just look at the

theories people have but what these big

three companies have in mind for the

future of game sweet cut now the idea

here is I'm gonna close this up and Matt

should just be able to open it up on his

iMac and finish the rest all right so

we're just gonna open this up

projects folder gaming predictions

hopefully this is where the magic

happens in it uh actually he's already

in here so thanks to John my footage is

already organized and I don't need to

figure out the color grade it's awesome

the shutter not great no yeah I mean

that that alone is it was a mess so John

would start working on a project it'd be

on a drive then he passed the drive to

someone then that person would lose the

drive then we'd restart the project or

there'd be conflicting versions of stuff

out there yeah it was a disaster so the

workflow like that and the team we

started to build it has already paid off

immensely there have already been

instances where I start a project on my

iMac Pro Courtney then opens it up on

his I'm act as the base cut I open it

back up on my iMac Pro to finish it off

and the entire workflow is kind of

amazing the idea I've been able to work

on a video and then have JD work on a

second video having Courtney and Stevie

working on a third video and then

meanwhile the Kevin Canson operation

running completely independently rich on

one video there Matt on another video

there you're talking like five videos

being edited at the exact same time off

one device which is like mind-blowing

again though what it comes down to for

me is the convenience I don't want to

tweak things I don't want troubleshoot

things that's why I called it the Final

Cut Pro 10 of shared store

I just want to make videos like everyone

else here does as well so hopefully you

guys enjoyed the video if you did and

you're feeling like being awesome make

sure you guys go Linus server pro 5000

junior on that like but if you guys want

to learn more about the jellyfish I'll

drop a link down below as well thank you

guys for watching and I will catch you

guys later wake up get views and I make

an awesome Kevin videos and I got

sprouts

get that coconut milk what clothes is

that good
