These request. I had a convo with Dorshan yesterday about only sending him 2 styles to cut down on videos and also about breaking up each video individually on Monday and I feel like we had some miscommunication. After all this she asked Cameron if he wanted 2-3 versions. I told her yesterday that if she gives him options he will just want it all.
Yeah the amount of videos being requested is un sustainable in our current time commitments — i.e. not full time
I was really hoping Alex was going to work out as an editor because we need some support. I made a job post the other week knowing we’re in need of help — I’ll cull through that and see what we can do
I can get the job done at the moment. It really is just about setting up expectations with Cameron. He talked about doing 3 subjects a week and then he does not get back to us for a few weeks then he drops 12 subjects on us.
Sorry. I have a 3pm meeting to get to. We can talk later.
I have copied over most of the projects from my computer to the Lucid server. The only files I have not copied over yet are the final video files. Do you think we need to do that our just organize the files on Frame.io for whomever needs them.
*Thread Reply:* I like to keep finals and project files together and we could have them frame io too.
files we don’t need to be archived on the server or files that could be deleted regularly are the preview files (audio/video) that are generated while editing/rendering. Sometimes it’s not a lot of space and others it’s tons!
Though we need to keep all project auto-save files, I don’t like to delete those, even when archiving
*Thread Reply:* Dorshan and I are in the meeting link.
Also, Can you make links to the Lucid server and let outside people download those files if needed?
*Thread Reply:* That’s a good question and I’m not sure.
I can figure that out
Frame.io is being a b-hole again today.
I am in the process of moving files in the folder so they will be easier to find in the future. I moving all the files from the archive folders back into the main folder and getting rid of those.
I forgot to ask. Did you getyour 1099 from Shield Legal yet?
Here is the total hours for the last 5 months.
@Chris Here are the monthly totals. SEPT 2023-48 Hours OCT 2023-48 Hours NOV 2023-95 hours DEC 2023-34.5 Hours JAN 2024-60 Hours
Average hours: 57 hours a month.
Also Alex hours for NOV and Dec. He had 27 hours on his invoice total for both months.
@Chris I forgot to ask you in our meeting today. Have you had a chance or have access to SORA yet on openai?
Are we meeting with Cameron Today or is this meeting canceled?
I’m in a meeting right now but looking to see if anyone joins then I’ll just jump over lol
@Chris @Dorshan Here is the info we will need for Media buyers and TTCC people to send us for updates to existing videos or new video requests. Questions for Monday.com Form.
If you can think of anything else we should add to the list, feel free to do so.
@Chris do you know what the QTAKE Storage folder is on the Lucid Shield Legal server?
ok I don't know if it is part of something on Lucid or not. Also, Have you taken Alex off of the Lucid server yet?
That QTake folder looks like a Render Preview folder a bit with the folder inside of it.
Wonder if this is the company >> https://qtakehd.com/
Not sure how it made it on our server. I’ve never heard of them
I have not as well. I say we just delete it.
@Chris Do you have time to send a form request to LaToya Palmer so we can get the ball rolling on the request that they need?
Is it the request in the mtpr-creative channel? The badge ad Videos Ads Banner ad?
Yes. They are supper vague. Just want them to submit the request with exactly what they need so when we have the meeting today we can clarify any questions we have. When Adrienne request stuff she always gives me a bunch of info that does not apply to the request and just makes it more confusing than it needs to be.
I also see a half page ad in her request. I think There are 4 total request.
Yeah, you’re right, I forgot to write that one down
What other information do you want besides what she already gave? This is to make sure I ask it in the form
@Chris Here is a list of everything I would like to know. Aspect Ratio, dimensions, file size Assets needed: Logos, Graphics elements, Color pallet, If they have branding guidelines. Deadlines examples of work they would like the request to be based on. Info that needs to be added to the ADs. Names or sponsors. I hope I am not forgetting anything.
try this form >> https://wkf.ms/3x3nJbF
I haven’t tested it yet so feel free to test it out and see if it works properly and if it shows up in monday properly
Do we have a spot that has the aspect ratio/dimensions they can add?
If there are no files to upload should that not have a required tab on it.
I just submitted it. Should it show up on Monday or do you have to approve it first?
I also added my e-mail. So would I get a email if I send a request?
there are no automation set up - just the form and no background process for us
@Chris Can you jump in a call to talk on our normal channel?
I can jump on our monday morning link for like 10 min
Can you send me a link link to that meeting? I’m on my phone now and I’m not logged in to that account to get it myself.
I am just in the meeting whenever you are ready.
@Chris Just checking in how things are going for the Shield legal Mass Tort ads.
going good. I was in meetings with them yesterday about them and showed them what I came up with. we made some changes last night and I got more feedback that I’ll be sending their way shortly
Let me know if you need help with anything. Thanks.
Are they posted on the server anywhere to look at?
I started with the one with the photo and then we went more “mystery” but the feedback I got is now not as much mystery and we’ve got tag lines like “Purpose. Principled. Proven.” So I’m basically making something similar to the white ads but with new text.
The TV ads that we were waiting on phone numbers for a looooong time ago, do you remember what those ads were for?
These ones?
Cali Juv Abuse :30 // https://f.io/Es32gg90 Cali Juv Abuse :60 // https://f.io/EAHtD78r Maryland Juv Abuse :30 // https://f.io/7Yx9TUqt Maryland Juv Abuse :60 // https://f.io/_U2DkzT8
I think we got everything approved on them from cameron. Just needed the new phone numbers.
I thought those were it but then I was second guessing myself since it was so long ago
Did you talk with Cameron today about hours worked over the last 6 months?
Do you still want to have a meeting today?
Nah, let’s just push it off until like Thursday or something when doshan can be there. I’ll keep you posted
@Chris Let me know when you have a second to talk about the TV spots to clarify what Ryans request was.
Yeah. Give me like 30 min and we can jump on a call
@Chris You look at the video for the new Frame.io Version 4 yet?
not yet. They asked if I wanted to upgrade to the beta but that some features were missing so I decided against fo rnow
Yeah. I definitely would wait until the bugs are worked out. Seems interesting.
@Chris Are we still using Resemble.ai or should I just use Elevenlabs for VO?
If you want to try resemble you can
@Chris Is the CapCut Shield legal account still active?For some reason it is not letting me use the Pro Captions anymore. Can you resend me your login info for that?
I tried to use a Pro Caption and it wants me to pay for it.
we might not have a pro account anymore.
let me take a look and I’ll buy it again if we need it
I can try and do it on Adobe express if you want me to try that.
@Chris Can you send me the login info again. I have shield legal on my account but for some reason it keeps going to my capcut.
Maybe post it in the Video Content page and I will pin it.
You should be on it as a collaborator I don’t know if I ever gave you a log in for it
I am a collaborator but it is still saying I need to purchase. Let me try and refresh a few times.
Nope. Still wants me to pay. I am under the Shield Legal/Brandlytics setup though and I have not had issues before.
It says I am the owner of the account. I can edit. It says that Shield Legal can only view.
I changed you to an admin - see if that changes anyting
Nope. It still wants me to purchase the pro account. Maybe the changed the rules.
Can I try and sign in under the Sheild legal account and see if I can export out my video?
Or can you see the latest video that has captions for AFFF 24209 in your folder?
CapCut Login chris@shield-legal.com q0RZ2:ua^8m]/z=xI/
Just use my log in as I don’t have time to trouble shoot this 🫠😭
@Chris Do you still want to meet today?
Nah we can just do slack updates
Yeah. It is just pending authenticiatio when trying to login. Hopefully they figure this out soon.
Maybe we should hard backup everything once a month just in case?
According to LL no data should be lost, except for data made after their last backup.
Which they say the incident happened at 8:55a yesterday so anything on drives 6 hours before that will be in their last back up.
They did send a message this morning as of 8:45a they are expecting everything to be up in the next 6-8 hours 😬
I may have lost some other work for another client but I was doing that stuff at like 1p yesterday, well after the time they said they went down
Great. I did a few things for Shield Legal. Hopefully I can get it back. If not the final videos were on Frame.io.
I can always just do a simple copy backup once a month to SSD just incase.
@Chris You able to log into Shield legal Lucid server? Still having issues. When I go on the website and log in it tells me that the account is suspended.
All mine connected.
Try quitting out of Lucid and relaunching it
I am back into the servers. I am backing up Lucid to an external SSD for a backup incase this happens again.
@Chris Well all the videos I worked on the day the server went down are gone.
Lucky it was not a crazy busy day but I will need to rebuild some stuff.
Also, I counted 5 Rush jobs. This last month and I had 67 hours.
What were the dates for those 5 rush jobs? I only have 4 in my count
FOCUS LIT-April 4th FOCUS LIT-IOWA-APRIL 17 HERMITS PEAK-APRIL 21 CPAP PHILLIPS UPDATE-APRIL 29 MAUI WILDFIRE UPDATE_APRIL 23 VIDEO GAME ADDICTION-APRIL 23
I am counting all the versions of each set up videos as 1 rush job.
If you have any questions just let me know. Thanks.
Ah, I see the mistake I didn’t count the focus lot videos and counted the video game on April 25 in error as well
I forgot to mention that I did back up the Lucid server to one of my SSD drives. I will try and do that once a month incase we have issues again.
@Chris Did you hear back on the image purchase for IL Juvy Abuse TVSPOT. I noticed he replied to me with a yes under that but I think that was for the 30 and 60 Sec spot question.
Let me keep looking for other options that might be cheaper or free. He has still not sent me any of the other info I need to finish up the spots yet anyway.
I might try using a Map shot since we are talking about the whole state and abuse.
@Chris would you like to send Cameron the status of all the current requests?
@Chris for some reason links are not getting sent to Slack when I click the link on Monday.
Hmmm. I just checked my email to see if we were getting any zappier errors but there’s nothing. Let me take a look.
I have noticed it on the last few videos I have submitted. I tried reclicking on the links as well to see if it was caught up.
Looks like a between zappier and slack. I’ll have to investigate later
No Rush. Just wanted to make you aware. I can still send the links manually. 👍
I have a question about the newest rush request from Cam.
Got a PM for Maximus that he wanted to play around in our AI actor software. I told him that is not how it works. You need to have a approved and finished script before using it so that you don't waste time and money on it.
That’s exactly what I would’ve said
@Chris I made the square versions of the SOM 2024 AD's. If you are good with this updated style from last years versions I will make the Vertical versions and send them to Caleb tomorrow on the due date. https://f.io/3p5TI9ks
@Chris, is there a way to delete an automatic post that comes from Monday.com if it got sent by accident?
I made a message underneath it saying to ignore but if I could just delete it that would be better.
I don’t think so. I just checked it and I can’t. Maybe an admin can. I wouldn’t stress about it
I know. Just was wondering. Thanks.
@Chris Was the bonus pay for all of the Rush jobs up until now? Was the SOM AD's included in the newest bonus?
Thanks again for staying on top of this. The bonus helps a lot.
@Chris Looks like we got a lot more rush jobs. I sent an overview of what we have done the last few weeks. Let me know if you want us to post this for Cameron or if you want to let him know in any meetings you have with him.
OK. I will post it on the channel and tag Cameron. EOD.
@Chris Pushing almost 90 hours this month.
@Chris The request that Cameron is asking for it not an easy thing. Some of the folders are labeled with FB or TT but not all of them. I would need to go through all the Monday.com projects and see which ones are TT vs FB then go back and label them as such in Frame.io.
Yeah, I know.
I’ll let him know that we’ll fit this in, in between jobs and will take many weeks to complete.
I don't even know when we started doing TikTok videos for the earlier videos from 2022 and 2023.
Also not all monday.com jobs were labeled for TT and FB separately.
I wouldn’t worry about it. I’d just do TT starting in like Nov/Dec or whenever it was and then everything else is FB. Then we can move stuff to TT as we figure stuff out as people request things etc. etc.
@Chris What does this mean? "Let's work on compiling a library for historical use please."
We need to know what they want this for.
I think it’s just a re-hash of the same request e.g. “Let’s get the library together so we can easily search it.”
That is what we have done on Frame.io already.
It is much easier to search up videos now.
@Chris, I was looking for instructions on how to add members to our Capcut Shield Legal account. It says on my end that we have reached our limit, which is just me. Maybe you can add more. I am an administrator, though.
Or maybe we need to set up a new account for them. It is only 9.99 a month.
it looks like spaces are capped at 2 people now???? So i just started a new space. Maybe I need to make it it Pro or maybe it already is, I don’t know, it’s very confusing in there and I have other work I have to do 🫣 so I’ll cross that bridge if they ask
@Chris, regarding Melanie's request, we will need to have a more extended discussion. Please let me know when you'd like to talk about this. I will let you reach out to her first to see exactly what she is looking for. Thanks.
I think you deleted your msg but I’ll answer it anyway, originally I wanted you on the call, then I was thinking maybe just let me figure out what she’s wanted and then involve you on the next one, to kind of insulate you from initial time wasting requests - but yeah, no biggie if you’re on it Monday
Whatever you think is best. If you want me in the meeting for any reason, just send me a message. I should be around on Monday. We can also talk about it on Monday in our normal 10:20 meeting if we need to. Thanks.
You can be there, not a big deal if you are or aren’t just didn’t want to waste your time if you had other projects that needed your attention.
@Chris, to Whom do you want me to send the Stock footage Frame.io Repository link?
Just to the Melanie and the other girl that were on the slack msg for the meeting
@Chris What is the best software you have used for AI images using an existing picture of someone?
Trying to put a person in a different location doing something and every AI site I have used is not doing that great a job.
I’ve never tried to do that. I’d assume photoshop’s AI can do that but you might have to find a tutorial that talks about best practices or something.
@Chris Let me know when you have some free time. I would like to set up a one on one meeting.
I just upgraded to Frame.io on my personal account. I will try it out to see if it is something we should do for Shield Legal. Here is the rizzle reel video I made for that band I like. https://f.io/rG37qD_V
Also Kyle Kinane on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czchKlwI85w
@Chris Do you have anytime this week to help out with videos?
@Chris AFFF AI 24396 video are in. I already saved them to the Media folder.
@Chris AFFF needed to be in the style of the link provided. https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1a6FQLQeCmbDt2UGfRVkWLxOo4vn3xUpO
AI Actor on top. Captions in middle and stock footage at bottom
ok, so I think i have the 5 AFFF videos done. Do you mind double checking them, renaming them properly and exporting if everything looks good?
Did you make any Premier Pro files for this one?
They look good. I made the clean versions. Getting ready to upload now and send a link.
@Chris I am wrapping up for the Day. Are you going to work on Paraquat today or Tomorrow?
I am working on STOCK DEPO Provera. I already did the Oxbryta STOCK and Hair Relaxer AI, and I am; I am just waiting to post until we get the more videos they want first. Then I have to edit the Hair Relaxer Stock. I probably have one full day of work left on Rush. Then I have other client videos to work on for Sunday.
I’m not doing anything else today.
And I’m not sure if I’m going to get to Paraquat on Saturday or Sunday
These are the logos I was thinking of and maybe you already found
Yes. Those are the ones that I was thinking of as well> I will post them on Frame.io for Dorshan. I don't think she has access to Lucid, Correct?
OK. I will just post it on Frame.io for her. Thanks.
@Chris Do you use the Capcut desktop app or the web browser?
@Chris Capcut is upping its price. If you already have a subscription, then you can keep the 10 price but if you cancel and renew again, you will pay the higher price.
Are you using adobe CC through a subscription from shield or brandlytics?
Neither. I am using my own account that I pay for.
@Chris, I did a render test on a project I was working on for my ad agency. It was a 6+ min video. It's not crazy extensive, but it has a lot of images on screen and graphics at the same time. The old PC took over 11 min to render it out. Same project on the Mac Mini M4 Pro 4:13. Almost 3 times faster for renders. Plus, the timeline plays like butter. The PC was constantly freezing up on heavy sections. So far, so good.
That’s great man! Greater efficiency always feels so good
Yes. The old machine was really starting to show over this last year.
I'm sure I will want a Mac Studio in a year though😂
Do you have a login for Sora? Did you end up going with the Pro account? Do you think you can get Shield Legal to pay for it?
Is it something we can use, or is it for you personally?
@Dorshan @Chris Are we ever going to get Yan or Cam to use the form to make requests.
@Chris can you tell me if this sounds funny or not. I am having audio issues with my Mac and I want to make sure it was not rendered this way.
@Chris Sorry for the delay on this I have just been getting caught up on things. I still need to send you my time for jobs. EDITING. This included finding b-roll on stock sites. Unless it is hard to find footage it might take longer.
Vertical 30-60 sec actor AI or RLA video-30 min-45min for 1. Multiple videos with same script I can get faster into the 15-30 min per video. STOCK 30-60 sec videos. 30-60min for 1. Multiple videos will drop the time. 20-40 min. TWEET STYLE- 30-40 min VO for an Animated video 30-45 min. TV SPOTS-8-12 hours Motion graphics depend on the style and how long they are. 8-24 hours? If there is anything I am missing just let me know. Thanks.
Yes! You should get those with every new project that is added
We don't have to do it today or even this week, but I would like to set up a time for a one-on-one meeting. Thanks.
I can make some time for it next Tuesday. When’s a good time for you?
This is the sample Avatar that Max sent me from Mirage.
