Dialing in the smoothness of a commonly-used "talking head" shot transition is the order of the day as Old Man Metal tests different linear and non-linear custom motion options while opining about the sensational Spiegelau IPA glass and drinking an End of Plagues IPA from Burial Beer Company.

Also includes a reprise of the audiovisual "clicker" scene transition, the first #test of a new object-tracking text label element, and a revisit of THE HAND audiovisual lightning-crash effect, now optimized for use with a full-screen scene.
A new folding blade, a new knife review!

67 free LUTs tested side-by-side with ungraded drone footage in 4 second segments. I made this to simplify selecting the right Color Look Up Table for color grading podcast footage, out of the pile of LUTs that I accumulated during a deep rabbit-hole dive searching the internet for "free LUTs".
Can you stack multiple chromakeyed tracks? Yes you can!
