![]() Welcome to Jasper: Banff's cool little brother At Yellowhead Pass, just before the Alberta border, we crossed the continental divide, where water flows either west to the Pacific or east to the Atlantic. We were deep into the Rockies, passing the highest peak in the range, Mt Robson, as well as the frozen wonders of Pyramid Falls and Moose Lake. The train powered through a heavy snowfall, reaching an altitude of about 5000ft before we descended into a valley, snaking along iced-over rivers and streams. I saw jagged snowy peaks, plunging valleys, frozen lakes, granite ravines and dense stands of lodgepole pines and pale-white birch. I sipped coffee in the Dome until the first muted rays of morning opened up a landscape that hardly looked real. I awoke at 5am to see the sunrise – only to remember that in northern winter day breaks much later. Winter on Medicine Lake © Marcia DeSanctis I slept well as the train trundled south, intermittently awakening to the soothing rumble of wheels on the track. I returned to see my sitting room transformed to a cozy bedroom. Darkness fell soon after we left the station, so I chose the early dinner seating, and was placed at a table with three other travelers. My class of service gave me access to a lounge and the Dome, an elevated car enclosed in glass offering 360-degree views of the landscape. “It’s a rolling museum,” said service coordinator Sean Pidgeon. ![]() The train, built in the 1950s, retains a romantic authenticity: stainless-steel fixtures, etched glass, worn leather chairs and a handsome, old-world dining car.

There are lots of options and the interface arrangement is neat & orderly and user-friendly. The interface is pleasing and has all the functions readily at hand that I would expect of this level of video editor, plus a few things I like to use that a number of other video editors tend to leave out: split, trim, snapshot, audio recording (voiceover, etc.), multitrack editing, transform options, and text templates. I used just 'GOTD' as my "email" address. Installed and registered easily - no hoops, and the registration code is provided in the readme. I've seen a lot of comments about hard to use - if you need tutorials please let me know - happy to use this software to create tutorials on it. This is pleasant to use and gives great results. Steep learning curve? That's almost vertical. I've also used HitFilm Express, and that's gigabytes of just bloated mess. I'd recommend keeping an eye on this software - for a little over 80 MB, its a great lightweight editor. I've been using this since v4.1, and in that short time, it's been heavily developed and improved upon. Compared to Easus video editor for example (which seems like its little brother) its far superior. If it could just sort these out, it would be like Serif - a small company that could just tackle the small home market. Nice software, but let down by some horrible glitches. This program has been updated frequently in the last couple of months - something you'll lose out on through this giveaway. This leads me to a worry about this giveaway locked at v4.9. Reported this to their support and got a boilerplate response. It starts at something like 13 minutes, but then goes to -24 minutes. so what size was it set to for 'default' ? Who knows.Įxporting to H.264 displays a dialog, but the time remaining is meaningless. ![]() ![]() So leaving everything to 'default' gives a 90 MB file, but explicitly set the resolution to 1280x720 and the size goes up to 200 MB. Additionally, leaving the other options set to 'default' actually means 'minimal', when someone would think this means 'optimal'. This means you can only set to specific values - not values you want. When exporting, you only have a dropdown for setting the bitrate. Shift+Arrow or Ctrl+Arrow don't do anything. The arrow keys go back granually - frame by frame - but if you want to go back a minute or five, you have to click randomly on the scrollbar.

With Revo in the same constellation, it took me just 40 seconds, plus the time to heat up and remove the filament.īecause you need to use your fingers, the fan shroud is now actually getting in the way and slowing you down. I timed myself futzing around with the v6 in the MK3 and even with having to grab extra tools, it took me pretty much exactly 2 minutes to swap the nozzle, plus the heat-up time. ![]() So you’ll first need to heat up the hotend at least to a point where you can cold pull the filament, and then, depending on how hot you got it, you might need to let it cool off again because even though the mini silicone socks do provide some insulation for when you grab the nozzle while it’s hot, there are large surfaces that have no insulation on them, so at that point it’s still quite easy to burn your fingertips. There’s no hot-tightening anymore, you don’t need any tools, you just unscrew it with your fingers, and screw in the new one, right? Well, I wouldn’t blame you if you thought it was really that quick and easy, because one thing that’s being conveniently ignored everywhere is the filament that’s loaded up – and as long as that’s welded to the inside of the nozzlebreak, you can’t unscrew it. So let’s get started with, of course, the headlining feature, quick-swapping nozzles. The Revo nozzlebreaks use the exact same thread pattern as the heatbreaks for Hemera, so you can mix-and-match parts between the ecosystems, the only difference is that the Revo heaters and Revo heatsinks have a little groove that lets a spring catch, and this keeps the heater pressed down when everything is assembled and holds it in place when you swap a nozzlebreak. Then you get the Revo Mini heatsink, which is a lighter and smaller version that instead uses an M12x1.5 thread for mounting for example to the effectors of delta printers, there’s also a Revo Voron heatsink that has a couple of female threads in the top and of course, there’s also Revo Hemera, which is E3D’s extruder that has the heatsink for the hotend built-in. You still do need a heatsink for the coldside of the hotend, and you get the choice of using Revo6, which, size-wise, is completely compatible with the old v6 form factor, and that’s what I used to upgrade one of my Prusa MK3s. The essence of Revo is the new nozzlebreak, which combines what used to be a separate nozzle and heartbreak into a single part, as well as the new heater core, which used to be a separate heater block, heater cartridge, and thermistor. It’s not called v7, and I think that makes a lot of sense, but that’s something I want to get to later. Let’s get started with the disclosure: E3D sent me all these parts free of charge to try out, I do not have to send them back when I’m done, no money changed hands and E3D does not get any influence in this review, but the links in the description where you can buy the Revos are affiliate links. After using the Revo for a couple of weeks and putting it through one of the most extensive testing sets I’ve ever done on a product, I’ve got some thoughts, graphs, and numbers I want to share with you. You get the new quick-swap nozzlebreaks, a new self-regulating heater, an optional smaller form factor, significantly better performance and a new patents package that makes sure nobody will ever be making nozzles or heaters without E3D’s approval. It’s time to take an in-depth look at E3D’s newest hotend ecosystem – the RapidChange Revo. Let’s get it tested and find out if it’s worth it! ![]() ![]() E3D’s new RapidChange Revo system breaks with existing standards – and it comes with news highlights and drawbacks. ![]() Instagram has been actively rolling out new features over the past few months, enhancing user experience and expanding creative possibilities: There’s always a possibility that your videos and photos will be seen by millions of people, of course depending on your privacy settings. The app is popular globally, and allows you to browse through loads of content conveniently and quickly. Instagram is one of the best ways to display your photography and life experiences to the world. It enables them to simply touch the location to view corresponding media. A new feature on Instagram allows people to show a ‘Photo Map’ button on the profile page. The default setting shows all videos and images geotagged. If you don’t want to display certain locations, it’s easy to exclude them from the map. It then puts everything on a map to allow your followers to browse by location. The app gathers your past Instagram media for whenever you activated geotagging. Instagram uses your device’s location to categorize videos and photos. Geotagging lets you easily categorize content Though all file types aren’t supported, the app can easily manage a wide range of popular formats. With recent updates, Instagram now allows you to import existing videos from your library. You can pick frames while displaying your work to a global audience. Instagram not just gives you more time to shoot, but lets you choose from several filters. After using Instagram for just a few minutes, you realize why it has unseated Vine as the primary choice among social video apps. With stabilizers, your videos look smoother even when you’re moving during the shoot. Stabilizing your video is quick and easy. There’s no need to waste time on a render! You can choose from multiple filters, and preview each of them while playing the video. It allows you to quickly fix errors without having to start the shooting from scratch. While making a video, you can delete certain sections too. While Vine permits you to shoot a 6-second video, Instagram gives you 15 seconds. Just like Vine, in order to shoot a video, you keep the button pressed and let go of it to stop shooting. With a second button on the home page, Instagram allows you to switch from photos to videos conveniently. ![]() The app lets you capture videos as easily as images. Instagram lets you share everything in just a couple of clicks. For better control, you can check out the adjustable Lux slider, add captions, or geo-tag images for better categorization. There’s an included slider that allows you to fine tune images. If you want to get the horizon right, use the auto-straightener with ease. It also has adjustable tilt-shift options. Instagram comes with a wide range of customized filters to give images black-and-white, retro, and grainy looks. You can also add effects, scale the image, and simply click ‘Done’ to share your memories with the world. Once you’ve logged in to the app, you can instantly click a photo anywhere, anytime. Instagram has decluttered the profile pages and galleries, ensuring your images always take center stage. Like the ‘Settings’ menu in Windows 10, all the icons have a line-drawn look. Easy-to-use interfaceĪfter the recent branding changes and updates, Instagram has introduced a simple and clean look. ![]() Without a doubt, Instagram is the leading app for sharing images and videos. Instagram has a huge user base, simple yet powerful editing tools, and amazing discovery features for exceptional end-user experience. With several effects and filters, you can quickly share your perspective with the world. But there’s no need to worry! People on Instagram share more than millions of videos and photos every day. Sadly, the ‘Stories’ you upload are available only for a day. While Instagram was always the go-to app for sharing images, the ‘Stories’ feature combines videos and live-shot images for everyone to view. ![]() The latter is often a CR2016 or CR2020 lithium or similar in a little tray alongside the main, rechargeable. 2: pull the battery out for a bit, put it back in, and try again.Help Pages: Showing posts 1 - 23 of 23, Author: Thread: candlerain.
