    Shotcut 25.12 Video Editor Delivers Full 10-Bit CPU Video Processing
    [12:46] schestowitz[TR2]
    [12:46] schestowitz[TR2]

    Until now, 10-bit video support was limited when working outside GPU effects, forcing users to avoid transitions, blending, or many CPU-based filters to prevent a fallback to 8-bit processing. With this release, many CPU video effects have been ported to support both 10-bit and 12-bit sources, including transitions and track compositing.

    [12:46] schestowitz[TR2]

    In addition, CPU filters tagged for 10-bit operation now function correctly when combined with experimental GPU processing, allowing more flexible workflows without sacrificing bit depth.

Mr. Gerstner stopped that. [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] Unfortunately Serious sometimes very unpopular steps need to be taken. [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] Would all of you haters have been happy if IBM went belly up and had to liquidate? That would have been much worse. Pensions would have been finished if that happened. [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] There is valid criticism of the purchase of Lotus Notes. But overall Mr Gerstner led with Dignity and Saved the company..

His turnaround: [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] Kept IBM intact [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] Restored profitability [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] Preserved millions of existing jobs and retiree benefits that wouldve vanished in bankruptcy [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] Without this, all pensions were at risk, not just future ones. [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] Pensions were not eliminated under Gerstner [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] IBMs defined-benefit pension plan remained intact during his tenure [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] Accrued benefits were legally protected and continued to be paid [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] Retirees at the time did not lose their pensions [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] So the claim that he destroyed pensions is factually incorrect.

And New goals [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] I am looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] Last year I logged in 93 Hours of learning. I did more than Think 40. [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] Jim Kavanaugh said to upskill, so I did. I led a Watson X challenge team, Arvind's bold leadership is going to make IBM a power player. [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] I was hired in June of last year and I know I can get to be a Band 7 this year. [18:53] schestowitz[TR2] " [18:54] schestowitz[TR2] " I doubt, @OP will be laid off this quarter. He is most likely a new hire out of school. [18:54] schestowitz[TR2] @OP, counting the learning hour is not relevant.

[18:54] schestowitz[TR2] You could get laid off in Q1 2026, like anybody else! [18:54] schestowitz[TR2] Sorry for the bad news.
