Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd March 2026

3rd March, 2026.

Right … I’ve published reviews: of the most recent episode I caught, of Stranger Things.

The written one’s here.

It’s video equivalent?

Is here: 

And … ?

I made the video version in Final Cut Pro.

Which was educational, I know that.

I’m still trying to figure out how to use transitions in a way that means the video transitions: but not the audio portion of a clip.

I’m thinking I need to get the hang of magnetic masks, masks that track whatever they’re masking, and let you apply effects.

I learnt those were things that would come in handy.

And also learnt something else.

They tell you — you know they: them that tells you stuff! — ha!

They tell you that — if you’re going to use a computer to edit video, and use pro-level video editors like Final Cut, or Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve Studio — will use a lot of hard drive space.

A lot of hard drive space!

I knew that.

But also, having no direct experience, didn’t know that.

That 15 minute video review?

Making and rendering that video review chewed up some four hundred gigabytes of hard drive space.

I’m glad, when I bought my current machine, I got one with a one terabyte, a one thousand gigabyte, internal drive.

But, had I released I’d be using Final Cut Pro, and that it would use quite that much space?

I’d’ve got a two terabyte drive.

Heigh-ho!

The Daily Teaser — 3-4-2015

You know I’m a film watcher, don’t you … ?

I am: and one that tends to write about them, afterwards.

If you look under the various tags at the bottom of the page — especially the films, film, movie or movies ones — you’ll find the various posts I’ve done about them, over the years.

You’ll ALSO find the post I did about last night’s film: The Babadook.

I’d like you to read that post.   I think I’ve done a nicely written one about the film.

I’m not too worried, though.

So long as — and this is the important bit — so long as you watch The Bababdook.

It’s probably one of the three best films I’ve seen.
