Train ride through Dealey Plaza

These are some video shots taken with my iPhone. I was on an Amtrak train from San Antonio to Dallas, Texas. I pushed my phone up against the window as we passed through historic daily Plaza. This footage came out pretty good!

Leaving San Antonio:

The same video footage I “filmed” entering downtown Dallas, but I slightly slowed and reversed the clip in Adobe After Effects. I also used image stabilizer and after effects and added some extra contrast.

F5 Adobe Animate

Your F5 (Add Frame) and F (likely F6 for Keyframe) keys aren’t working in Adobe Animate 

usually because they’re set to media controls (volume/brightness) by default, conflicting OS settings, or shortcut conflicts; try holding the Fnkey, toggling F-key mode in BIOS/OS settings, or resetting Animate preferences to fix it.

USB-C hard drive question

www.mattkprovideo.com/2026/01/06/usb-c-hard-drive-question/

I just got a wonderful new Mac mini for Christmas! yay for me!

Problem, although I am a diehard Mac user, I’ve been using a windows laptop for the past 6 years and I have tons of footage and Premiere / After Effects projects (that I  use on a recurring basis for ongoing projects) on a dozen different external USB hard drives.

My new Macintosh only has USB-C inputs.

I need to know how to use my old hard drives with my new Mac.

I saw online that I can buy USB to USB-C adapters.

I remember hearing years ago about a downloadable bit of software called “Tuxera” that allows a Macintosh to read Windows formatted hard drives.

QUESTION 01:

If I buy a USB to USB-C adapter and download and install TUXERA will I able to edit from my old WINDOWS hard drives

OR…… :

QUESTION 02:

Do I need to copy/transfer all my old video footage from my old hard drives onto newer mac formatted usb-c hard drives?

QUESTION 03:

Is there a preferred hard drive I should get to edit Adobe Premiere /After Effects projects with my new Mac?
