Thank you. Really appreciate the comment. 🤗

Yes it should.

That doesn’t matter. You can use any camera and lens for your particular shoot.

Thanks. If anyone has any questions please ask them here in the comments.

You need to switch over to DaVinci 😎

That’s amazing!!!!

???

My pleasure 👊🏽

Do you mean the fog machine is spitting bubbles? Or are you asking about a bubble machine?

Love you too brother 🤗

My pleasure 😊

Oh! That could mean the board inside is fried unless it has a trip switch. Maybe open it up and check the board if power is getting through.

@@DrRave All the wires seem to pass current, as long as my brother checked them connecting the right ones together. I'm not sure if it has a trip switch hidden somewhere, what would I look for. It's an old 2010 machine, Jin Yu Lighting Limited FM-700 Fogger. I can send you a video if that would be helpful? swtich

Can you try and bypass the thermostat and see if it works, the thermostat might be faulty and stops the return of current. Take a look at this video to understand all parts if you need to - ua-cam.com/video/XHn3BVI6gsw/v-deo.htmlsi=UT9xWLukPt5ZB2EE - in this video, I replaced the heating element, but your issue seems thermostat related.

@@DrRave How would I go about doing that? I'm not electrically inclined. I did find an image in my earlier research of another machine showing a trip switch/thermal fuse in some fog machines, and I'm wondering if that may be what this is in my machine? Image : drive.google.com/file/d/1mq2ESQestcPxvE6o0s3SKBRr7WgYOiEZ/view?usp=sharing Video of the inside of my fog machine : drive.google.com/file/d/1QTEidZLisVpFhD4VX_kpcj23zJJGXKtj/view?usp=sharing I see no thermostat, but it definitely died while it was in an enclosed space which would seem logical a thermal trip may have gone off. Not sure if that would be something we could replace?

Thanks glad you liked it 😊

That’s awesome 😎

My pleasure 😊

What is the issue? Watch this video for more diagnostis - ua-cam.com/video/XHn3BVI6gsw/v-deo.html

That’s awesome 🤩

That’s awesome. Happy Halloween!!! 🎃

That’s great. I’m glad it helped 👍🏽

My pleasure 😊

I would say to just try and create a suction that you can push it through with, so maybe some liquid latex to create a temporary seal (if it won’t effect the machine)

If nothing works, you could open up the unit, and push the fluid directly into the pump. Take a look at this video, it's going live today, solving the heating element issue in the fog machines, but you will see the inside of the machine and get a gist of how things work and how to fix it. ua-cam.com/video/XHn3BVI6gsw/v-deo.html

Sorry, I don’t have that model. Check online for the error or contact Moza.

Thank you. Try it out 👍🏽

Strange. It should work. Maybe restart the computer and Davinci and try. Have you updated to the latest version?

Haha. Thank you. Sometimes that’s what happens to UA-cam videos, they disappear into the void 😉

Yes, only open if necessary. Interestingly my heat pump stopped working yesterday during a shoot. I’ll make a video how to replace that over the weekend 😉 by opening it up 😢

Sure, most probably you have them set to fill the frame on import. Just select the clip and within Inspector->scaling -> select FIT. That should do it.

@@DrRave Thanks for the reply but still no luck. I have been using transform but that distorts my image

You are king. Finally, you have helped me solve the issue. I thank you so much

My pleasure

I didn’t realise that. Thanks for letting me know. Feel free to ask me any questions if you didn’t understand. I’ll help you out 👍🏽

All the best

That’s strange. You might need to dilute the smoke liquid. Dilute a little bit and try. Also check if the tip of the machine is getting hot or not.

Hey, yes, just hit backspace. It will delete without rippling. Does that work for you?

You can also try ctrl + shift + left or right bracket keys. The backspace I mentioned above deletes the selected clip after you have cut it. So for you you’re asking it’s ctrl+shift+[ left bracket - to cut and delete on left Or Ctrl+shift+] right bracket - to cut and delete on right Hope this helps.

Thank you 🙏🏽

That’s good to know. Glad it helped 👍🏽

Is the pump making a noise, if pump is working push the syringe to push the liquid through.

My pleasure

And I Thank you for that 😊

Hi Dustin, it’s not free anymore. The link is in the UA-cam video description $3

@@DrRave I saw that. Too bad. But, I do understand!

@@DustinWatts Thank you for understanding :)

Sorry. No idea what that is?

Maybe the pump is not working. Does it pull the liquid in?

@@DrRave no, it doesn't do anything.

@@pattyanaya3502 So when pushing with the syringe, fog comes out, but without force it doesn't. Correct. Looks like the pump has failed and is not able to pull the fog juice into the machine. You can get the pump replaced, but the unit will need to be opened.

@DrRave thank you for ur response. I just changed the pump, and now the machine just spits the liquid. Perhaps it's best to dump it.

After replacing the pump, it spits out liquid. Depending on the description so far, you either have a faulty thermostat or heating element. I cannot tell for sure without testing the Electricals. Both are relatively cheap to replace, but you need to bypass the thermostat to see what is the problem. I’ll be uploading a video on Tuesday where I show everything and replace a faulty heating element.

You should use regular vinegar. I’m not sure what’s inside apple cider vinegar. Maybe sugar. Try pushing water through and then regular vinegar if the problem still exists.

Maybe the batteries are dead.

@@DrRave but indicator blinked. It wont charge the battery. Usualy the indicator did not blinked like dat. Normally just red, till it full. I have try to leave it for like 2-3hours, but still it wont turn on.

@@DrRave i need to see dat first. Looks like the batt built in to board pcb or something. It just non removeable kind.

Can you test the batteries with a multimeter? Maybe that will narrow down the issue.

I don’t think that’s possible, how would that help, it would only slow you down. You could do “W” then backspace for trim to beginning or “W” then right arrow to select that bit and then backspace key to do it manually for trim to end.

@@DrRave it would be useful if you want to do adjustments and trim clips later on in the process. and btw I just remembered it's Shift+bracket (right and left respectively). But I dunno how to set the shortcut for this function

Oh yeah! That’s the default Davinci shortcut. It’s been so long I did not use it, that I forgot. You can change it to whatever you want under preference->keyboard If you don’t know what it is called, On the virtual keyboard select the keys, shift and open or close bracket and it will display the shortcut details on the panel below and you can easily change it.

@@DrRave I'll try again this way, thanks for you feedback! cheers

Glad this helped 😊

It does need a trigger either wired or wireless. Get a replacement wired one if you cannot find a wireless one to match. You can bypass the remote, but that will keep the machine in always on and ruin the machine. You do NOT want to bypass the remote.

There should be some options on Amazon, mine came with an auto sensor that we didn’t like and we found a cord on Amazon that had buttons for it that worked!

It’s only $3 now.

I don’t know the exact transparency but I just the most transparent one I can find.

👍🏽🙏🏽🥰

Hi thank you for the awesome feedback. I have good news for you. Yes, in keyboard preferences you can change Shift+A to E. That will disable what E was being used for, but that’s ok if it speeds up your workflow. Within keyboard preferences, you can select E on the one hand screen keyboard and see what it is being used for and decide. Regarding the bins, it’s simpler. You can have multiple timelines open as tabs or one above the other. I use that workflow too, selects to main timeline by dragging from one to the other. One of the icons on the top left of the timeline turns on multiple timelines, just click that and open multiple timelines like selects, final and more if you need. Then drag and drop what you need. It’s super fast this way. Let me know if you have more questions.

@@DrRave Hey thanks for your response. 2 Questions, What time is Shift + A under so I can change it? What is it called so I can search for it or what menu is it under in the keyboard customization menu? And I know about your double timeline from selects but for me it is too awkward because with all my selects the time line would be too long and scrolling through the timeline to pull down the clip I might need is kind of a Pain, I would rather make a timeline with all my selects like you did In the video but then drag all those selects to a folder or bin and then choose my elects from that folder, seems much easier and organize just like I do in FCPX. IS that possible? And that brings me to another question if you have time. Anyway of seeing , like fcpx as well, which clips are already in use in a timeline either from a bin or on my timeline. Also like FCPX does by putting a yellow border on the clips or like a zebra type mark on the clip in the timeline that is in more than one spot on the time line? Sorry for all the messages but you are the only one I have seen making sense on how to do things in Davinci.

@@ekphotography SHIFT-A is Append clip. Easy way to see what it is set as is to use the virtual keyboard and select shift and A, it will show the shortcut settings. I haven't tried the darg to Bin like FCPX, let me know if it works for you. To see which clip is in use, there is a red line at the bottom of the thumbnail for the portion that is used in that particular timeline. You can also enable the feature to show which clip you have selected (within timeline) inside the media pool. This works even if you have clips inside different bins, it just opens that bin in the media pool and shows the clip. Go to Preferences>User>Editing and turn on - Always highlight current clip in the media pool. That should solve your problem 😉

@@DrRave Thanks, I finally just Put P as append to end since it is right next to the I/O so I can hit I/O P and no extra shift or anything needed which was kind of what I was looking for. Thanks for always responding..

@@ekphotography My pleasure

2 ways to do this: So if you’re using my shortcuts, on the timeline clip you can click Ctrl+R or CMD+R to open retime controls, select 40% and check ripple timeline. Then you can copy this and Alt+V to paste on all other clips after selecting them. There is a faster way to do this before you put the clips on the timeline. This is my way of doing it - before I put the clips in my timeline, I select all my 60p clips inside the media pool, right click and select clip attributes and change the frame rate to 23.976 right there. This will interpret the footage to 23,976 just like FCPX. And now you make your selects and drag them to the timeline. To remove attributes use the shortcut CTRL+Shift+X and then select the attributes you want to remove, including color grade, position, zoom, etc. There is a button on top right of the viewer to turn off the color effects but no button to remove it. You would need to right click on the color page and reset grade to remove everything color. Hope this helps.
