 Hi everybody and welcome to what I believe is some kind of desktop tour or like UI or setup or I think workflow tour of the Denchi video YouTube channel or at least my personal desktop. I have KDE Plasma as my desktop environment on Manjaro KDE which comes pre-installed with KDE Plasma, I use various programs, most of which I detail pretty much all of which I detail in my JustUse series so obviously OBS, Resolve, Audacity, I'm not Steam, but Acreta and such they're all really good softwares obviously and today I'm gonna be showing you basically my setup not in terms of how to use these softwares I already made it like a 40 minute long video on that instead this is a setup like this is like showing how I have the UI setup what plugins I use I try to avoid using plugins and software like I only really use plugins in OBS and KDE that's pretty much it and the only KDE plugin I really have is like the theme of these things and also this audio spectrum visualizer all these things besides the audio spectrum are all stock so first thing I'll take a look at is exactly that my KDE like desktop setup so I have this isn't actually a dock this isn't like a latte dock because latte dock uses tons of resources do not use a latte dock unless you really really want latte dock and you don't care about your RAM this is actually not latte dock this is a panel from KDE Plasmacy it's it's a panel so you can right click on it edit panel it's a panel what it is it's just a panel and I made it really tall so I increased the height a lot and I just got a panel from there just putting it back I made it like restricted I made it so it goes down every time I'm not using it so you know as you can see I can go here and then it goes away like that it's like kind of like a dock that's that's pretty cool exactly the same as a latte dock but you know doesn't use like a million billion gigabytes of memory I have my weather over here yes I live in the united Arab Emirates not like that's not literally been revealed due to the fact that my channel's location is set to that CPU load monitor got my hard disk IO over here got my audio spectrum visualizer I have to set to desktop audio although if I wanted to I can go here and configure it so it just takes just a built-in this one so as you can see now I'm talking and it's just using the actual microphones input I'll keep it that way for the rest of the video because it looks cool having this little audio like visualizer this instead this is a network monitor this is basically just you know my use of network this is my memory how much memory I'm using that that's it in terms of these widgets over here got my folders the way I make my videos is I have a project data queue and a project data s folder so this is project data queue I have all look at this spoilers I have all my videos I'm working on here and each one gets its own folder all it's just like an assets like for example I've got a funny intro here got like a pippy the movie to review coming up soon hopefully with comms got still got my mlazr stuff just use bone marrow that should be deleted I already finished that video I already I always delete stuff when I when I'm done with the video because keeping project files like they occupy quite a lot of space I use mega to back stuff up so as you can see I use mega it's a very useful like um backup utility mostly because it's it's it's far more secure probably than then google drive it probably far more private actually you know cares all stuff it's actually good yeah so all my videos just get their own dedicated folders I just put stuff in here and yeah this applies pretty much all my youtube channels I have some kind of like a folder set up specifically for that channel so I would have a project data queue folder this is only really this is for all my videos on all the channels and then what I would do is I would have a specific a folder dedicated to a specific channel so then she video that's his own folder in the folder itself all the assets I use then there's like specific folders for specific things that are loads like thumbnails this is every single thumbnail of all my videos ever unused branding old branding that I don't use anymore then she is then she like the actual icons effects these are all the audio effects that I use music that I use in my video all Heinz key slaying you know modstein the it's always sunny and filled up in music scripts I don't really write many of these most of these are like already done videos or videos I'm working on this is actually a really long script I wrote quite a while back I actually recorded it and deleted the recording because I didn't feel it was uh it felt like a really long video I'll make that one later anyway so I have all my you know all my stuff that I need for actual channel stuff here I got a weird screenshot for some reason discord screenshots that's that's pretty much it in terms of then she video then she song which is the the alt account for only music I keep all the assets here got right I get a folder dedicated to each like kind of quote on quote album or like playlist I have on the channel so for example um this over here called singles is actually the virtual singer covers the first edition this is minstrel wave is another playlist on that channel musical fix it's just generic songs and re-instrumentations and another playlist of all the playlists on that channel got their own folder um then we also have a denture space program this is a little bit more marin got my thumbnails for videos I'm still you know planning to make real-time mun mission I'm working on that um still have images for the website for the space program and like stuff like this so you know like assets and such I'll quickly show you how I have my obs stuff set up I believe if I create a new instance of obs here we go this this is obs that I'm recording with obs that's kind of a an obs exception someone got obs recording and it's recording obs but um this is obs and um the way I have it set up is I have a screen recording mode for you know just in the it's recording the entire screen everything on it specific recording for basically I can just select like a window so I can go here I don't know this is the plasma if I want to select I don't know obs for example it's gonna record my obs window in it uh and I can also add more windows so I can only record specific windows if I need only a like a certain window recording and I don't want to record you know the entire desktop a black screen just black screen that's basically all it is and I have two audio waves I have audio wave and audio wave auxiliary the way these work is that I have an audio spectrum this is a spectralizer made a video on that and um I haven't actually shown this in the latest videos on the channel but I have uh well I added a thing where it scrolls because it looks cool and fancy and cool um so I added like a filters on it you can go here and click on filters it got a crop a scaling aspect ratio so it actually looks good and a scroll so as you can see it scrolls and it looks pretty cool got all the mark for like the song that I need to do I haven't actually made that modular you have to manually select the album art but you know it's still good you can't just load a song and it works uh maybe I'll get that working the reason I have two is because I have one that's consistently only for the virtual singer covers because that's gonna keep on going for a while then I have a second one dedicated to just random music that's just inconsistent and not specific so I can just have you know just this setup I just need two so I can you know have the memory of one and then the memory of another one so I can switch between the two these are different completely independent like things the only thing that remains the same between these two different setups is the media source because you're not gonna be recording two songs at once so you only really need one song between the two so that's why I haven't set up that way so that's my OBS setup I also use tuna as a plugin to show the album art although um it's not really like uh I haven't set it up yet so it's not really working I don't really have anything special in terms of vintage resolve stuff like I don't really set it up in a different way neither with crita or gimp because you can't I mean you can't kind of customize things and move them around but I I just keep it to the stock just in case I need to reinstall stuff and I don't I mean I guess that that applies to the desktop environment as well I modified that but that has to be reinstalled at some point but yeah I don't really modify things in those programs that's pretty much my entire setup I'll just show the final step of making a denture video after after I render everything in divincy resolve what I need to do is I have this little special text file called scripts so what I do is I would go to DaVinci Resolve and I would render my video and then I would it would go to my desktop as render.mov and these are some scripts I think it's there's like a site you can download like you can copy and paste this from I modified them a little bit so they would you know um encode my videos better but basically what I do is because DaVinci Resolve is kind of stupid on Linux what it does is that it can only like encode stuff into uncompressed editing formats and it can only decode video that's in uncompressed editing format so any video I need to work with I mean first of all rename it to input.mp4 rename it here then run this command in the same directory as where the video is and to encode so basically once I'm done with the video it will come up as render.mov on my desktop and then I would open up my terminal and I would go cd maybe not capital letters but cd desktop right and then I would run this script over here so I'd copy and paste this and obviously doesn't do anything because there is no render.mov as you can see render.mov no such file or directory but if there was what it would do is it would basically encode it would encode um the video and compress it so then I can upload it to YouTube because uploading raw editing format video to YouTube is probably not a good idea because it would probably take like the like half a day basically it's it's I'm talking like at some point like I think my pippy review that was around almost 40 gigabytes in size it was huge it was like undoubtedly large so anyway um I actually once I'm done uncompressing them uncompressing the the stuff I put them I basically I have a I have a drive over here named alexdisk where basically what I do is I keep um well I actually have a quick link to it here where it gives you it brings you to um then she output the folder which is basically this folder where I put every single finished video that I make I have three folders these are just random videos I made for other people so this is like videos I made for other people I have three folders over here one's then she space program on my then she space program videos other one is then she song on my then she song videos so they're all there then she video videos so these are every single then she video video not all of these are actually up not because I haven't uploaded them yet but because I haven't actually you know I've decided to take them down or something but yeah I have the then she video folder so once it's done once I've finished doing that script thing I talked to her before I just move the video to here and I have mega set up so basically what it does is it backs this entire folder then she output to the mega so I can just if I actually for some reason I lose my data I always have that mega backup although I this is a local backup so I have like a local backup as well of all the stuff so I don't actually have to you know worry about losing stuff but it's important to back things up in multiple locations um as a final thing I'll go over through like my icon pack that I use and the theme that I use um I'll just show you my theme I use um uh lion it's called lion or leon I don't know I pronounce it it's lion I don't know I use that as a theme and as an icon icon pack I use something called tele tele blue it's really really good because I really like the color blue and it's really bright and colorful and I like things that are bright and colorful like this audio spectrum over here that that looks pretty cool don't know why this keeps showing up though uh that's never happened before I'll fix that later probably because I'm recording or something every single other icon pack I have no really care for like breeze it look there's too many gradients it's ugly tele blue I like it because it's flat it's nice and it's it's it's just generally visually appealing so that's the icon pack that I use uh besides that I mean that's that's pretty much it in terms of dementia workflow I don't really do much else I mean I recently added Libra Office to my little makeshift doc over here simply because I want it to start writing more scripts and I will write more scripts eventually to make my videos more interesting but tech videos especially when it comes to like tutorial stuff works better naturally so scripts aren't really required for that kind of stuff I'll only really make scripts for things that require it although I've gone pretty much on a stupid tangent and started talking about scripts instead of talking about what I'm supposed to be talking about which is not our sponsor it's um you know my setup and how I actually use my computer to make videos so if you want actual tutorials on how to make videos I already made a 40 minute long video explaining all of it including how to set up DaVinci Resolve on Debian based distros you can actually easily install DaVinci Resolve in Manjaro by doing a Pamac install DaVinci Resolve and like I forgot the name specifically so I'm gonna use Yay instead which is a package manager DaVinci Resolve and it will search for it it will find those results and I know that's it um yeah it's it's a very good very very very good software I really recommend it it's uh it's it's uh you know it's I really hope they update it so you know you can actually import compressed sorry you can import compressed footage which you can't do like mp4s that are encoded in a certain way like pretty much every mp4 mp3s as well just does not like them compressed stuff just no uh DaVinci Resolve only really works with um editing formats on Linux although on Windows and Mac it just works without meeting all this conversion and stuff which is really annoying I just really wish they would fix that thanks for watching this video about me rambling on about DaVinci Resolve instead of actually showing you what I'm supposed to be showing you um I have a cool notification menu if that means anything look at this notification menu got all my notifications there uh thanks for watching and uh goodbye
