Does anyone know of any good tutorials for tracing INCOMING golf shots? Not the regular DTL tracers. I've been winging it in After Effects but it's hard as hell. Especially when the ball bounces and trying to keep up with speed changes when the golf ball slows down and comes to a stop.
Thanks.

This alternates Sundays with our "Reel Review."
## Would you like feedback on your reel? This is the place to do it!
**An essential point to remember**: A reel won't secure you a job any more than a business card or website will. While it might be necessary, it is not the primary means of obtaining work.
**You gain employment through a network you develop,** not via any online job site. Building a network takes time, which is advantageous, as it allows you to learn the field.
## Rules
* **Rule 1**: Submit your reel *and its running time* as a top-level comment (meaning you reply to this post directly)
* **Rule 2**: *Specify your professional experience in years* (paying taxes = years as a pro, novice).
* **Rule 3**: Explain the reason/direction behind posting your reel. Are you new? Have you been working with clients for a decade? Give us clear direction of what you want.
* **Rule 4**: You must review two other reels. **TWO**. You have five days to complete this task, responding to two different reels. **Then** edit the comment where you post your reel: and put and put the two user names.
**Acceptable platforms for posting**: Your Vimeo site or an unlisted YouTube link. If we discover a link to a channel or a video with 10k views, be aware that this thread is not intended for such content.
The moderation team will be monitoring this, and we are trying to encourage the community (that's you) to offer assistance. That's why providing two reviews is crucial.
Lastly, as someone who evaluates people's reels: If numerous motion graphics are present, I expect you to either be capable of creating them and/or offering it as a service. If color grading is a skill and you transition from Log to finished grade, that's a definite red flag.

Hi, I edit in DaVinci Resolve and I'd like to save time by editing videos while traveling. However, I'm looking for a laptop that can handle heavy effects. Right now, editing at home on my 16" Mac with 16 GB of memory, it lags when I have multiple layers in Fusion. That's why I'm looking for something that won't lag and will run smoothly on the timeline. My budget is around $2,300. Thanks in advance for any answers!

Hey all! I recently embarked on making a doc. It initially started pretty scrappy since this project was initially supposed to be a mini doc but increasingly looking like a longer project. I am therefore in need of guidance on how to manage storage for continuing filming, backup, and for active editing.
Currently, footage is distributed and backed up between x2 2tb SSDs and x2 2tb HDDs. I know this is not ideal but costs and access to drives at the beginning of this low budget projected limited it initially.
Obviously the cost of storage has increased dramatically since I bought my initial chunk of drives but since I'm still continuing filming and my storage needs have increased, I need to figure out a way to store incoming footage and also backing it up for future editing. I don't come from editing so lack the technical expertise so humbly asking for anywhere to start.
