And one I could not find….   There is a graph showing how much as a percentage a programmer thinks a project is completed, vs how much its actually completed.

 

If someone knows where I can find this graph  - please let me know.    Here is the rough idea:

Why does Premiere Pro "Sequence from clip" on MP4 and then "Match Sequence" result in a massive AVI file?

-

Good Question! You would imagine that just "trimming" an MP4 file with same setting would be quick and painless, but when I tried it the resultant file was massive - like 10x the size of the original file. https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/match-sequence-settings-mp4-to-mpeg-is-this-normal/td-p/11042944 Turns out this is because the .mp4 compression means there aren't really full frames in the file just deltas. So when you select "Match Sequence Settings", it has to give you AVI format anyway. So this is what you HAVE to do.   Go ahead and create your HUGE AVI file.  Then use an app or an online service to compress it back down... I had a good result using  https://cloudconvert.com/avi-to-mp4 It shrunk the 76Mb AVI to less than half a Mb.

Drop off and pick up at Gatwick Airport

I've become a bit of an expert at drop off and pick up at Gatwick Airport over the last couple of years. Gatwick Airport have committed to 52% of journey to and from the airport being made by public transport by 2030.  Very commendable. Seems they intend to do this by raising parking charges to levels that include the loss of arms, legs and even testicles. " The charge will be £5 for 10 minutes, and £1 for each additional minute up to 20 minutes. The maximum charge will be £25 and the maximum length of stay 30 mins." Today it is £6, for both quick drop-off and up to 15 minutes pick-up. It says there "£25" maximum charge.  I don't believe that. What to do We had a double-pickup yesterday - friends leaving, being dropped-off at 13.50 and daughter arriving back by 16.30.  When I entered this into the pre-booking system it says £55!  There are only 30 minute increments available. So what I did this time was drop the friends of, and drop off wife...  £6 for the...
