The Friday Roundup – A.I. Music Generators and Color Correction

Best AI Music Generator For YouTube Videos (Suno AI Music Review!)

There are a number of boring repetitive tasks that come packaged under the overall job of video editing.

For me personally the king of “just grinding it out” is searching for appropriate music for a video project.

The reason for that is that you have to actually enter a search term or genre type or whatever into a search bar to narrow down the field.

OK, so far that’s not so bad but from that point forward the only way to get it done is to actually listen to each track and make a judgement.

This inevitably leads to hours of suffering through music you don’t want in order to find something you do!

THAT is a royal PITA!

A lot of editing software programs these days are offering access in some way to A.I. generated music but very often it is easily as time consuming as just going through existing tracks manually.

This week the guys at Primal Video have reviewed a new A.I. music generator called Suno AI and it looks pretty promising.

You can see it in action in the video below and after having used it a little myself I think it is pretty good.

Cinematic Color Grading Like Your Favorite Movie – PowerDirector

Inside PowerDirector these days you have some pretty hefty color adjustment tools at you disposal.

Of course flapping about in there generally only results in a hot mess unless you really know what you are doing!

Here’s video from the guys at CyberLink giving the exact values you need to enter to achieve certain looks in your footage.

They cover a Wes Anderson look, a Matrix look and a Mad Max Fury Road look along the way.

Although these are great for what they are it would serve you very well as a learner to watch the results as they are unfolding to see how various settings change the footage along the way.

The Best Ways to SPEED UP Your PC in 10 Minutes (2024) | Movavi Vlog – YouTube

Here’s the dirt little secret of modern highly compressed videos files for when it comes to editing.

First up let’s stop pretending that anything is being “compressed” here!

What is happening is that in any sequence of captured footage only a few of the frames are actually full recordings of the scene.

All the others are partial recordings plus instructions to find the remaining information from other frames either before or after the current frame.

This is called Interframe dependency.

This compression technique, while highly efficient for storage and playback, introduces complexities due to those interframe dependencies.

In actuality what they are doing is throwing a bunch of data away and leaving tiny notations as to where the software can find what was thrown away from other frame data.

There are no prizes for guessing who is going to be doing all the work necessary in order to locate and restore all of that data!

Yup It’s your poor overworked computer.

So in light of that it is vital that you keep your computer in tiptop condition and here are a few step you can take to do that.

Every DaVinci Resolve Studio feature Explained

OK so I am not an owner of DaVinci Resolve Studio for two reasons.

Firstly because I haven’t come across a need for a feature in Resolve that solved a problem I could solve in some other way.

In all reality it would probably be easier for me to use Resolve Studio to do it but I just don’t need it that often.

The second reason is that Resolve Studio comes in at around U.S. $300 and as I said, my need for it isn’t that great.

However that’s not to say that the Studio version isn’t awesome!

If you have considered or are thinking about upgrading to the paid version then I think this is a great video to check out as it runs through just about everything you may need to know to make a decision.
