Bad, or just floating sediment?

I made a batch of elderflower + mixed berries; I accidentally made too much, so I just put some in a mason jar with the lid placed on top to finish fermenting. I've done this before, I know it's not proper AT ALL but it's just an extra couple cups so if it goes bad it really doesn't matter.

This is the first time I've taken the lid off and been presented with...something. My raspberry wines will sometimes have a little bit of raspberry floaters around the top when I rack it for the second time (ie it's already been racked once into secondary, this is the second racking).

Should I just chuck this out, or will it be okay if I strain it through some cheesecloth? Thanks in advance!

Stuck on creating captions...transcription seems to have work but the captions will not generate

I've tried closing and reopening the program, restarting the laptop...nothing. The 'Creating captions' bar acts like it hasn't done anything at all, but when I click on Transcript, the text is there.

I feel like the last few videos I've made, it's been hit or miss whether Premiere would transcribe the sequence (often saying 'No audio detected' even though it's a literal voice recording, not even just the audio off a clip).

Why is it doing this?

I'm on Premiere Pro 2026.

SG increasing after sitting overnight?

I'm making three batches of elderflower wine at the moment: one plain, one with watermelon, one with mixed berries.

I've made elderflower wine in the past, it's been well-received, although I got feedback that there wasn't much body, so I've increased the raisins from 200g to 500g.

Here's my methodology:

For the watermelon batch, I reduced the watermelon over a medium heat until much of the liquid had come out. I poured this hot fruity mixture over the elderflowers, topped up with hot water, and added raisins, lemon, and sugar.

For the mixed berry batch, I thawed the berries, added the elderflowers, then poured over with hot water, added the sugar, raisins, lemon.

Now here's my question. I took a SG for the watermelon batch (1.060) and the mixed berry batch (1.070) last night. It was all still very hot, so I left it to cool overnight. This morning I re-tested the SG and this time they were 1.080 for the mixed berry and 1.070 for the watermelon, so both increased by .010. I don't normally check the SG in the morning if I've checked it the night before, while it's still warm. Should I always be doing this? Are more sugars from raisins and fruit leeching out overnight?

Thanks for your help!

Template for a print banner is cutting the image into five parts upon export...how do I stop that from happening?

EDIT: Thanks for the help everyone, exporting as a spread instead of individual pages solved the issue. Horray!

I'm creating a ~~3x3m~~ 3x2m pop-up banner for a conference and the print company has provided a template for the correct porportions. When I go to export, it produces five files, cutting the image into parts. When we contacted the print company about this, they just shrugged and said they don't do design, they just print. And of course they want the image exported as one file.

In the document settings it looks like the document is divided into five pages...any idea why it's set up like this, and can I combine the pages into one document? I haven't come across something like this before.

Thanks so much!
