I don't give a damn what they say about @ElonMusk anymore.
I just used his @Grok/@Bot combo to free myself from 25+ years of captivity to Adobe Premiere. I now have my OWN video editor that does what *I* want.
3-4 days of effort on my part. DAYS.
And soon I'm gonna post the source code for free so anyone can download it and use @Grok/@Bot to modify it to their requirements. It may not work for you as is, but you can modify it.
So if you want me to listen to your jealous evil rants about how Elon did this or Elon did that, fevered ravings from ugly minds about how horrible he is, you're going to have to do something for me at least as GOOD as freeing me from 25+ years in the clutches of Adobe.
Otherwise you and your ravings are useless to me.
Be at least as useful as @ElonMusk has been to me.
I can answer that. Excalibur 1981, used "Carmina Burana" in its climactic ending. People watched it on videotape years later. Anyway, everyone thought it was a Gregorian Chant. No. And no one would realize 'till years later because internet

Tesla Roadster is very impressive, but I'm FAR more impressed by Grok's ability to act as my personal programmer. I think I'll be able to tell Adobe to pound sand in just a few more days!
The FilmLadd Video Editor (FLAVE) continues apace. Yesterday I hammered out audio mixing, keyframes, captions, and optimized preview playback to the point that it can do 150+fps on a sad old 4070 NVIDIA card.
Unlimited tracks of type video, image, keyframes, captions, and linking.
I can maximize any window (player, project manager, footage manager, timeline editor) to any monitor, have it remember the setup, and not get annoyed by Adobe's GUI where one is constantly screwing up a docker or trying to find where something was. Multi-monitor use especially annoyed the crap out of me, requires futzing with windows that won't maximize, a constant hourly source of blood pressure.
See, as opposed to that other guy who just copied Adobe Premiere (and made a less responsive and more buggy version, from what I can tell), I am making FLAVE to my specs, ignoring the "barnacle features" that encrusted Premiere over the decades. I don't want all that extra crap in the software.
I want lean and mean, robust and optimized.
I'll probably release on Github when done, not because I think it'll be suited to anyone out of the box, but because I think I want to let other video editors download and use @Grok to change it to their needs.
I'll report my progress! I just hope this ear and lung infection doesn't slow me down!
I can't find or remember who suggested using this clip from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure but whoever you were thank you.

Reads a whole movie and slices it up by edit detection.
One change request, one build, it works.
FLAVE, The FilmLAdd Video editor, is proceeding apace. Changes in the program being made as I edit the video I'm making about it.
Which is kind of a fun circular "meta" thing to do if you think about it.
I don't know who needs to hear this besides people who write Superman scripts, but this kind of thing has always annoyed me in anything "Superman."
This giant monster goes to step on Superman, and Superman holds the foot up. But Superman is an immovable object, right? What *should* happen is, his hands puncture the monster's foot, then his whole body goes in like a nail.
The PSI force at Superman's hands have got to be insanely high. Concentrated.
Same reason Superman lifting a city-sized rock (or whatever) drives me up the wall. The rock would just crack under the PSI of his hands and the rock's weight.
These are things I think of when I'm waiting on Grok Bot to complete a task.
