Yep, it is frustrating having all those audio tracks clog up the timeline when you only need 1. I'll have to see if there is a way to only import 1 track or to auto-delete unwanted tracks in Davinci.
One thing I find frustrating, when doing a search for a company, names that are either a common word or common business name. As an exaggerate example, don't call your company 'Camera'.
The calculator I linked to, while helpful, is one more example of how bad the advice from financial advisors can be. Look at that graph. It goes up while working and you see that exponential growth. Then the graph craters to zero once you retire. It's complete nonsense. I mean, I suppose you...
Throughout my life, I wondered exactly that; am I on track? It wasn't clear to me at all that I was. For most of my 40 or so years of work, I was worried about having a job and wondered how I would make it all come together. We lived simply and saved, saved, saved. Not that we didn't have a good...
Let's talk. I would have retired at least two years earlier if I knew what I know in retirement. Stepping off the income cliff into the oblivion of retirement is a bit scary.
I talked to a few retirees before I did it. They all said two things: It will cost less than you expect and you will be...
Correction - The standard deduction for seniors filing jointly is $34,700, not $47,000. However, due to the OBBBA, there is an additional $12,000 deduction that will apparently be automatically applied by commercial tax software to those seniors that qualify (earn less than $150,000 jointly)...
My interest and dividends is small beans because 95%? of my money is in IRAs and 401k. The interest and dividends for those accounts are not taxed until withdrawn.
When you fill out the 1040 form, Social Security has it's own line item, which reports what amount of the Social Security is taxable. The 1040 instructions provides a worksheet to determine what amount of the SS is taxable. You do a bunch of mumbo-jumbo on the worksheet that I never really...
RMD - You are required to pull a percentage of your IRA and 401k out every year once you reach 73. The first year, you get leeway to pull it as late as April the following year as you may not be aware of the rule. But after that, you have to pull it out in the tax year. There is a 25% penalty...
Here is my annual update to show you what retirement is like. Normally, the wife and I take social security ($60k) and $20,000 from our IRAs to live on (Total, $80K). What we did differently this year is that instead of taking money from the IRA, I took money from a savings account. So our...
The forum search tool is weak. You can find threads that mention the HPX170 using this google search - hpx170 site:dvxuser.com. Or add more words to the search to refine it.
I was reading up on the F65. It has a mechanical shutter.... That would make it a hard pass for me. Mechanical things that rotate are a low reliability item.
The fact that there are hardly any for sale on the used market is not encouraging in regards to Charles' point. Low body count usually...
I don't know dick about cameras. What I do know is that people can get enamored with a particular item and make a decision to buy based on a passion for the item rather than an unemotional and objective evaluation. Your long list of justifications and this statement* hints that maybe you are in...
