I've been stacking my list of words and phrases, and my words are divided into catergories (first, part of speech - noun, verb, adjective, phrases, etc.) and then my nouns are broken down a little further (objects, concepts, actions/occurences, etc.....)

I know Anki has a vast number of ways one can create their decks etc... Do you make multiple decks, or do you lump everything into one deck?

I'm at the level where I think maybe I'll get the most out of just throwing everything directly into one deck, but I don't want to screw myself over later if the deck gets too big.

I've had my Nulea for just under a year (got it July 2025) and sadly the scroll wheel is slipping very regularly. I saw a guy take the whole mouse apart, but are there any simpler alternatives?

I'd be willing to take it apart and replace the scroll wheel with a different one with a better-attached wheel.ifnanyome has recommendations.

The mouse otherwise is great, but a slipping scroll wheel is CRAZY irritating for me who uses DAWs and CAD a lot and needs to scroll around very often in all directions.

I'm working on a channel mostly focused on music experiments (I think) - kind of instrument-centric, trombone/trumpet, but where I 3d print accessories and run experiments with them. At least a couple videos will be like that.

I'm inspired especially by Pask Makes' method of just showing the process and narrating with occasional 'talking to the camera' portions.

On my first edit attempt, what I'm find is that I want to have a full script written out that basically guides the editing... BUT!

This doesn't seem the most efficient for showing the actual process (because forcing the video to fit an exiting script means sometimes cutting stuff out), and sometimes I need other B-roll than what I've already recorded etc... Among other problems with just being new to this type of video.

I've been editing for probably 17+ years in different software, but I've never done long process videos like this. Seems like I can't really just slap all the clips in a timeline, I think at a minimum need to use an individual timeline/sub-edit for each portion of the video. But it's hard to know exactly what to show when without the guidance of existing narration/a script.

Anyone that can point me to some tutorials or just some general recommendations on how to go about it? Another sub recommended I go through a full edit without narration (but that also can be a bit challenging itself).

So I'm getting back into YouTube after a long time away. I've spent the last few years thinking of how I can get back into producing content. I do woodworking, but it's very hard to get enough time and complete projects at a fast enough Pace to actually produce enough videos to grow.

I'm still doing that as a channel for larger projects, but I decided I would focus my efforts on 3D printing, since it's a lot cheaper, faster, and easier to record because it can be done inside the house.

Currently working on my first project video - For my first draft, I just recorded my script straight down, and then I edited my video to go along with it. But I found that sometimes I either don't have enough clips to fill the time that I spend talking, OR I have a lot of clips that I would like to show where I don't have anything scripted or any good audio to go over them.

Just wondering how you guys do it. Originally I thought, maybe I should just edit the full video while working on the script, and then write a script around that? But having the script first makes it easy to cut out stuff that makes it slow or boring to watch.

Just trying to figure this out... There's text right on those right-side branches that I don't want the supports to mangle. Is there a way to prevent them from going there? I didn't paint them there as you see

My understanding is that Liquid Smoke is literally actual smoke made from burning wood that has been condensed into liquid.

I've been using it bit over the last year or two, but I find that it has a particular flavor if it's just added directly to a dish. It can be delicious when used. Sparingly, but my wife never fails to mention it when she can taste it.

It seems to work best if it's added early in the cooking process, or if it gets to sit in/on whatever sauce or food it's added to for a day. I've tried using it in sous vide but it ends up getting a bit of a strange almost chemical taste that I don't find very appealing.

I have a sense there must be some kind of secret to using it that makes stuff taste authentically smokey without being chemically or overly tasting like one used liquid smoke. There must be other ways to use it that I'm overlooking (I've primarily just been adding it to pasta sauces, broths, marinades etc)
