LosslessCut, Zoom and an AMA for CS106A
BackgroundI recently had the opportunity to take part in an AMA (ask me anything) session
for the CS106A students on Machine Learning for the Physical Sciences. This is a
post about the technical issues, and also includes a video if you read through.Zoom and LosslessCutZoom recordings are one of the nicer ways to deal with switching windows and
screen sharing, especially after fixing the dark screen glitch. However, though
LosslessCut works really well to get cut-points, exporting and merging the file
into one caused a bunch of glitches.Enter HandbrakeTo not beat around the bush, the solution was to simply encode the Zoom
recording with Handbrake before using LosslessCut1. Since the
conversion takes a while, it is also neat to note that you can directly export
the cut points made with LosslessCut on the original video, then import them
onto the newly encoded file.ConclusionsI am not really sure how this will turn out, but it is a useful thing to keep in
mind. The introductory video turned out to be:
