Podcast for Saturday, December 28, 2024
Malahayati Hotel, Tanjung Balai
Sumatra, Indonesia
I suppose this video is notable in that it is the first journal video that I shot in 4K on my GoPro since I got the new laptop. I don’t think shooting in 4K makes any difference in these videos shot inside a dark room, but I was curious how the editing and exporting would go. And there were no issues at all. I was able to edit the video in full 4K while having 30 Google Chrome tabs and other programs open at the same time. There was plenty of memory and power. And exporting this 2-hour video in 4K took less than 30 minutes.
At the beginning, I talk about some tech issues and then move on to some local stories. I also talk about some stories related to tsunamis and my interest in them. I also give an update about Noraly’s stolen motorcycle from her Itchy Boots channel. I end the morning’s coffee session talking about a couple of other YouTubers: We Hate the Cold and Una Moto.
I hope you enjoy what will probably be the last video of 2024.
