I have not been doing any edits of video for a long time... What are most people editing vids with these days?

As someone who uses Linux, I've found Blender + ffmpeg to be a powerful combo. Almost all of the videos on my channel use those two. The video sequence editor in Blender is awesome for arranging tracks, audio, transitions, overlays, text, etc. And with ffmpeg you can move it to any format you need. To clean up audio I use Audacity.

Does Blender allow previewing the sound in videos yet?

C.f. this tweet, which has a link to itself: https://twitter.com/mauritscorneIis/status/99142460340155187... (And as we all know Twitter has no edit button, no post-upload shenanigans are possible here, just some clever guessing and reverse-engineering Twitter's ID generation algorithm)

This tweet (or one like it) caused a massive Twitter outage.

Is that because some algorithm assumed link cycles weren't possible?

each possible digit, not each possible ID. You seem to be calculating some combinatorial explosion, where there probably is none

You need to flash each possible ID, as the YouTube video editor only allows for trimming

No, YouTube lets you cut out parts of a video retroactively. “Video editor” might be the wrong name.

Oh hi, creator of the video here! It's just a fun video of me messing around with Windows 8.1 I made a while back, trying out different "apps" and stuff. I thought it'd be a fun easter egg to download the video itself when I was trying out that strange YouTube MP3 downloader app :D I didn't do it with the API (even though I tried to at first), just the normal youtube.com/upload site. I used Fiddler (Burpsuite alterna…

I always see creators popping up when something they made is mentioned. I find it too coincidental that you just happened to be on HN and happened to find the comment mentioning it. Do you use a service that scrapes sites and pings you of keyword mentions?

I do use a keyword notifier on Reddit (mostly just for my name), but in this case, I just coincidentally noticed the spike of views on my video and put the video url into Google, which led me here

Websites can use the "referer" [1] property to show you where visitors are coming from. [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Re...

This is true, but for YouTube, the "referer" stats won't appear for a couple of days

Okay, how did you do it?

Post first half, then edit? Just a guess.

My actual technique:

- post first half

- fumble around trying to find the link

- get despearate because my comment only shows an /edit link

- find another link from someone else, paste that in

- change the /item?id= to the id of my /edit?id= comment

- save the change

- follow the link

- follow the link a few more times

- relax.

Pitivi is great until it starts crashing. Kdenlive is stable but adding texts is painful there. I didn't like Blender video editing much (though I don't remember why anymore).
