My name is Sam and I'm based in Australia. I love creating RU-vid videos that focus on tech-related tutorials, reviews, and unboxing. My goal is to take the complexity out of tech, so you can fully enjoy the digital world without the hassle.
Hi. I have personally found the WarpShare app on my Android phone that is able to send the files via AirDrop. The apk can be found on the internet, iirc it was from some custom android rom.
Watching your video is a waste of time why? Because you’re going too fast and then you need to show us how to pair it. You’ve already paired it you say. Waste of time and very frustrating listening to your video.
After searching for a long time, I was so VERY glad to find these easy-to-follow instructions. Suggestion: Finish by showing how to remove the USB drive Safely. Even though I do it safely on my computers, I was unfamiliar with the phone and messed up. 😞
I have a Samsung 9 Ultra Tablet and I can't get this to work either. Mind you, I am plugging in my monitor directly to the Tablet using HDMI (in the monitor) to USB-C cable. I'm not using a "hub" as she has used. Would this make a difference?
This worked all perfect. Start to finish it was a very simple process and hey it is free. I love it, very helpful. Many thanks to you. Keep posting such good content. God bless you....
You never even said which phone ur using or if it works with all phones or just that one. You also didnt mention which external hd ur using. Links outdated. Everything u actually explained is painfully obvious. Worthless video.
This is *exactly* the sort of testing that reviewers should do when assessing video editing performance of a system. Nearly every other RU-vid reviewer limits themselves to very basic playback tasks and rendering / exporting workflows. The reality is that in many cases >90% of the time video editing is spent on the timeline (trimming/moving clips, adding transitions/effects, adding text etc.) - unless you are heavily into color-grading or motion-graphics. You are generally only exporting videos "a few times a day" - possibly only once every few days if it's just a hobby, so it's the speed and responsiveness of the tasks you perform hundreds of times a day where the difference is felt. It's great to see that even with zero optimizations that the M3 Pro is keeping up with multiple 4K video streams. This means there is a lot of room to push it even further with appropriate performance speed ups (see below). A few observations from your video that might be interest: (1) You were using a UHD timeline in the project, but this is generally not necessary and you can edit everything in 1080p and change it back before final renders/exports. There is no quality lost doing the edit in 1080p because the underlying video is still UHD/4K (with a few exceptions for effects/color-grading/keying which should use the full resolution). The 1080 timeline will put a lot less load on the system and unless you are editing on a massive 8K screen, you will probably not see the difference between a 1080 viewer window or a UHD one given it's normally less than a quarter of the screen real-estate (2) I understand that changing the timeline resolution in the project settings is *different* to altering the Playback->Timeline proxy resolution setting. I think the difference is the stage at which the resolution of playback is altered - i.e. only for monitoring, or before other processing. This can change the impact on performance, and has some gotchas when doing text or effects work to prevent you using low-resolution inputs instead of your high-resolution source material. (3) I also noticed that in your project settings, the proxy media output was set to ProRes 422 HQ at the same resolution as your timeline - which is the highest quality (non-RAW) version of ProRes, and generates very large files that are unnecessary for a proxy workflow. The default should really be ProRes Proxy 1080p on a Mac, which are a lot more manageable and generally smaller than your H.264 media, with the benefit of playing back more easily when the machine is under load. (4) Resolve now has a separate application on macOS called "Blackmagic Proxy Generator" which means you can generate your proxies outside of Resolve, which is a huge timesaver because it no longer locks-up the Resolve UI while it generates proxies. The advantage of the new Apple Silicon Macs is that the generation of H.264,H.265 or ProRes proxies is hardware accelerated, and I've found it to be a 3-5x real time for UHD H.264 files on an M1 Max Mac (e.g. a proxy for a 10 minute clip will take 2-3 minutes to generate) In practice I don't notice the difference between H.264 UHD/4K files and proxies on my M1 Max Mac, but I can see that disk I/O (and a little bit of CPU/GPU load) is a lot greater when using the original source media. For 2-3 streams with minimal effects you probably won't notice, but I expect it would become noticeable the more complex the timeline becomes.
Thank you for your lovely comments and tips. I recently changed my timeline to 1080p since I realised UHD wasn't necessary. I'll definitely give your other suggestions a try, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge!
My current MacBook Pro (2020, 13", 16GB, 1TB), I bought from eBay refurbished stock. Paid... goodness.. about US$1,000 or 1,300? Anyway, it came out of the box just like yours: Looking and feeling brand new. Had it now for almost two years, and it's still running well. My CalDigit dock on the other hand...
Yeh never buy any macbook or apple product used as I have experience buying used and it had so many issues from charging, bulging battery, screen issues and performance issues such as os not responding, os running in sleep mode and draining the battery and increasing temp of the device and battery😂 what a mess
SSD'S Ect Ect are built like crap from Apple. The company is just Greedy now. M1,M2,M3,M4 on and on, Look inside at your cheap Mods, Transistors, and Wiring / Soldering problems. The newer The Mac, especially M2, the worse they are. I hope you received a good one Sam
i am a photographer and having a problem with the calibration of my laptop monitor. I have no access for now to use another good monitor. This is really helpful for I can now use my ipad as secondary monitor. CHeers!
