I then find myself moving all the *.JPG files into a JPG folder, and all the *.GPR files into a GPR folder. I then use Adobe Digital Negative (DNG) Converter to convert the .GPR files into .DNG so that I can import them to Final Cut Pro (FCP/FCPX). Adobe DNG Co...

I’m working in Final Cut Pro (FCP/FCPX) and I want to be able to put a screenshot or another clip in my video and I don’t like the super sharp corners of the video that happens with the default overlay.

The Best Places to Ski in Colorado Without a Season Pass2023-02-28T01:25:37-07:00 2024-01-27T20:12:42-07:00 https://www.mattpopovich.com/posts/the-best-places-to-ski-in-colorado-without-a-season-pass/ matt_popovich Intro Colorado is home to some of the best skiing in all of North America.

How to Fix Small Quick Look Previews on Mac2023-02-27T01:12:28-07:00 2024-01-27T20:12:42-07:00 https://www.mattpopovich.com/posts/how-to-fix-small-quick-look-previews-on-mac/ matt_popovich Intro Quick Look is a simple feature on macOS that lets users view certain file types without opening any applications.
