You've obviously never eaten a good meal with any French people! ⏳

This auto dubbing is really pissing me off now. :angry: Not only is it systematically applied to the videos of just about every channel I subscribe to - still the same two robotic voices, arbitrarily applied to the original soundtrack without any regard to the number or sex of the people...

This is giving me flashbacks to the time when DVDs and their players were coded by geographical region. For probably the only time in my live, I was an "early adopter" but it did the industry no favours at all telling me that I couldn't watch this copy of the movie on that machine because they...

D'you know, I'm sure that's the same woman YouTube uses for all their auto dubbing. She must be making a fortune. 😝

Okay, this is worse than I thought! Seems like YouTube has only one male and one female voice (what about the gender-neutrals ???) per language, no matter what accent or intonation the speaker(s) in the videos use. So the bearded Matt is represented by the same womanoid who also speaks for the...

Well, if you want (if you really, really want ... ) Of three new videos from channels I'm subscribed to (and acknowledging the liberal use of poetic licence in my "redneck" portrait) this was the wackiest, at least until I restored it to the original American English. I'm assuming you'll have...

This is the part I find confusing. For me, "to be a film maker" means to aspire to be a director or producer (or even a mogul) for which one needs two key elements: a story and a camera. From all that you've said over the years, you still have neither of these. Even so, what's stopping you...

"AI"-enhanced dubbing of YouTube videos has arrived with a vengence on this side of the Atlantic. :mad: For years, we've had to tolerate the TuberFürhrer forcing us to see auto-translated titles of videos, despite at least a decades worth of requests on the Google/YT support forums asking for...

Yeah, that's probably an accurate observation. Without the "game" context, it's easy to look at the clips and see them as "movie" and apply different criteria. On that point, I used to play (and code) video games back in the day, when we had blocks of 8x8 pixels to animate and 16k of RAM to do...

Okay, I'm not a film-making expert, but I know a thing or two about project management and proof-of-concept exercises ... and I'm totally confused. Great, good starting point. Only you describe three different scenarios that - on the face of it - have nothing to do with each other; but you...

Because you're the one offering the job. It's as simple as that. Whether an actor has no experience at all or has been in the business for fifty years, anything they sign up for will be on their record somewhere. Imagine one of your no-experience actors turns down a one-day gig in favour of your...

🧐 Ahhh, OK, so I did interpret it correctly at first. Upon re-watching, I assumed it was an "accent" issue, and that the world outside was being drained of colour by the strange new arrival ... I'm not sure how to easily convey the absence of something that's not necessarily present. All I can...

Bog standard laptop speakers for me (at the moment) and nothing about the audio rankles except "the colllllar, it had never been gone before". Preceded by a shot seemingly emphasising the cat's bare neck, it took me three views to figure out it was the colo(u)r, not the collar that was missing...

Aha! Although we're broadly in agreement on several points, I think this is where we most diverge. 🙂 I would argue that unless you toil through the iterative process early in your learning, you can't really appreciate the value of automated assistance and where it is best applied. Worse, you...

As rule, in any creative process, once you've signed off on a project, leave it alone! It may be flawed and imperfect in many ways, but if you've taken it to the point where you feel you can say "that's done, it's finished!" then that's where you should stop. Constantly refining various...

Ummm ... that's not (at all) how I'd see it. To my mind, the goal of "creativity" is to transform something ordinary (messy, worthless, broken ...) into something less ordinary. One might argue that a "true creative artist" would have no regard for the eventual value of the work created, but the...

😵‍💫 Jeeeez ! That's surely the embodiement of ADHD? I think the biggest hurdle faced by those who want to push the boundaries of visual technology is that the vast majority of poeple (i.e. potential customers) are already maxxed out with what's available, so no matter how great the development...

A technical question: have you considered how you (or the software) will handle different accents? Most good quality voice-to-text software that I'm familar with needs to be trained to recognise a single voice being "textified" ; automated "textifiers" - such as YouTube's subtitling and...

Bonsoir! :hi: Si jamais tu divagues sur la frontière Berry-Limousine, on a des histoires par ici !

Further to the above, and one of my favourite scenes from the whole Dr. Who collection, here's the legend in reverse, the (re)appearance in the present of Amy's not-so-imaginary friend from the past: For research purposes, if you haven't already done so, perhaps you could spare a few hours to...
