Welcome or welcome back to The Morning Rant! In today’s episode, your host Alex Raccuglia dives deep into another intriguing "Ask Me Anything" segment. Today, Cristian asks a thought-provoking question about using convolution for comparing images in my app, BestFrame.
Join me as I unpack the concept of convolution and how it relates to image processing and video editing. 🤖✨ Could convolution help identify transitions in pre-edited footage? 🤔 Let’s explore how convolutional neural networks classify images and whether they’re the best tool for determining cuts between frames!
I also discuss the magic of downscaled images and how my app filters out those pesky quick edits that can confuse scene changes with fast movements. 📹

🌟 Welcome to The Morning Rant! 🌟 In todays episode, I embark on a unique journey exploring the magical, surreal, and often unexpected world of video production and app development. Join me, Alex Raccuglia, a TV commercial director and software developer, as I share my adventures working from home and tinkering with my latest creation, BestFrame!

📱 Ever wondered how real-life videos can transform your apps performance? I dive into my experiences testing with stock footage vs. my actual work—spoiler alert: real life isnt as perfect! I discuss the challenges of low light, noise, and how AI filters can elevate your footage.
✨ You wont believe the results I got using machine learning models for upscaling, downsampling, and even creating unique, cartoonish styles perfect for reverse storyboarding! Ill walk you through the process and share some intriguing insights along the way.
🔍 Whether youre a fellow developer, a filmmaker, or just curious about the magic behind the lens, theres something here for everyone. If you have questions or want me to get more technical, drop a comment! And hey, dont forget to like and subscribe to keep the conversation going!

Hi, hi bella gente — Alex here from The Morning Rant.
Quick update from the outskirts of Milan: autumn vibes (rainy, grey, cold) after a hot summer, and I’m back from a long August with the family, full of vibe coding energy to help editors.
In this episode:
- FCP Cut Finder updated — new underlying algorithm for much better speed and accuracy
https://ulti.media/cutfinder
- Fixed non-integer FPS issues (29.98, 23.976... NTSC, I blame you 😉) — Final Cut time quirks finally handled
- New larger preview window to spot false positives easily
- Removed complicated analysis settings — now it “just works” for newbies and pros
- Tracked down a serious bug: strange characters in folder paths could break analysis — still investigating edge cases
If you’re seeing speed or accuracy problems, or you hit a weird case, please write me at support@ulti.media — I want to understand and fix it.
What’s next: more features for BeatMark, Cut Finder, and some new apps. Very excited!

Benvenuti nel mio nuovo episodio fatto di (quasi) nulla che svela il dietro le quinte della creazione di unapp di lista della spesa fatta in casa! 🎯 In questo video, Alex Raccuglia vi racconta come ha deciso di scrivere una semplicissima app per tenere traccia degli acquisti con funzionalità utili come l’ordinamento personalizzato e la sincronizzazione tra due dispositivi, tutto in un’ora e mezza di pura follia. 🚀
Tra momenti di pura digressione, commenti su Apple, AI, traffico impazzito e lamentele varie, vi accompagnerò nel mio flusso di coscienza digitale, tra risate, frustrazione e la passione per il codice. 💻✨
Se ti interessa scoprire come funziona una vera app homemade, sì, con tutti i difetti e le idiosincrasie di chi fa tutto da sé, questo video fa per te! E se sei curioso di sapere se i modelli di intelligenza artificiale possono capire tutto questo sproloquio, spoiler: probabilmente no. 😉
Non dimenticare di commentare, mettere like e unirti al gruppo Telegram per non perdere neanche un secondo del mio delirio quotidiano: telegram.me/tecnopilzriot
Buona visione, e ricorda: a volte la strada più breve è la più strana. 🚧🤪

Ciao a tutti! Si avvicina il periodo dellanno che, come molte di voi sapranno, segna il ritorno delle mie congiuntiviti nervose. Oggi parliamo dellanno che sta per concludersi, un anno che avremmo potuto fare meglio, ma che ci ha insegnato tante cose.
In questa puntata, vi racconterò alcune riflessioni sugli eventi recenti, tra cui il brindisi per la mia collega Antonella e la mia esperienza professionale in un mondo in continua evoluzione, influenzato dallintelligenza artificiale. Che dire, i tempi sono cambiati, e non so se il mio lavoro sarà al sicuro nei prossimi mesi.
Per chi è curioso, alla fine del video ci sarà un riepilogo con la sigla storica di questanno: “Superhero of the Computer Rage” degli Inflames. Sarà l’ultimo assaggio musicale di un 2024 un po strano. 🥳
Riassumerò le mie personalissime opinioni sulle tecnologie emergenti, dai più recenti progressi dellintelligenza artificiale alle mie riflessioni sulle potenzialità (e limitazioni) di questi strumenti. Sarà una chiacchierata sincera, con il mio pessimismo di fondo, ma spero di riuscire a strapparvi anche qualche sorriso!
Iscrivetevi al canale per non perdere le novità del 2025 e, come sempre, lasciate nei commenti le vostre opinioni riguardo a questi temi! Buon ascolto e buone feste!
