This is the place where I keep all my video production tools organized. I created this repo because I didn't have a good way to keep all this stuff in a single place. All the files and information listed here were scattered between different devices/computers.
I mainly talk about single board computers - including Raspberry Pi, of course, and other maker-adjacent topics on my YouTube Channel
folders.py
- Script to create the folder structure that I use to manage files/bins when creating a video. First thing I do when I start a new video project is to download and run this script on the root of the project folder.
I use a local Resolve server hosted on a Raspberry Pi. This Pi also doubles as my video editing NAS.
I have a full blog post on how to setup your own local Resolve server. Although I use a Raspberry Pi, this works on any Debian/Ubuntu/Linux computer. DaVinci Resolve Server on a Raspberry Pi
resolve_backup.py
- Interactive script to manage DaVinci Resolve server backup. This is a work in progress!!
DaVinci Resolve - Still can't believe this software is free. Considering buying the Studio version.
Subtitle Edit - I believe every YouTube video should have accurate subtitles. This software uses Whisper AI to generate the subtitles and it makes it super easy to edit for publishing.
Adobe Lightroom Classic - I've been using Lightroom since it's origina beta version. Nothing beats Lightroom when it comes to tagging and cataloging images. I do most of my photo editing in Lightroom
Adobe Photoshop - Because nothing beats Photoshop when it comes to editing images and creating graphics.
Canva - I use it mostly for creating charts for my videos.
Here's a list of the equipment I'm currently using. The links below are Amazon affiliate links because... I gotta get something out of it. There's no additional cost to you but I get a small commission if you make a purchase through my links below.
Canon RP - This is the same camera I use for personal use. It's a full frame camera and great for pictures. It has a bad rep but it's an awesome travel camera. 4K on this camera is pretty awful, but all my current workflows are in 1080p
Zoom H1n - Basic microphone and voice recorder. I have it plugged directly to the camera for better audio capture. There's a new version called H1 Essential that is essentially (pun intended) the same product with newer packaging. The new version has some better niceties like a metal tripod threads instead of plastic.
