[Sampler incl Full Segment] Actually, the title of this weeks show is a little misleading! Yes, the utilities featured in this weeks show will make using a large screen monitor easier, but they also will assist you on smaller monitors and even laptops. This show covers various utilities that can help you with managing how you move your cursor and your windows on screen. The utilities help you speed up your workflow by giving you some extra control over and above how OSX is designed to work delivering a much more efficient way of working (especially if you do use a large monitor). For viewers of the free feed, I've included a full segment from the Extra! members only show as a taster but also to see if we can boost the sales of this particular app, for reasons that will become apparent as you watch the clip. In this weeks full Extra! members only show I cover: My Mouse Recommendations - A quick look at my Mice of choice - The Logitech MX Revolution Mouse and the VX Nano Mouse. I also give you a demonstration of the benefits of the dual function scroll and flywheel mechanism. SteerMouse - A fully featured advanced driver for USB and Bluetooth mouse. SteerMouse allows to to fully program a wide variety of Mice and I show you my most favourite feature - a way to make your mouse pointer zoom across the screen automatically and land dead center on the default button of dialog boxes - no wrist movement required! DejaMenu - A real boon for large screen or multiple monitor setups. You know how OSX arranges the Application menu bar across the top of the primary display? Well it can be a real pain constantly moving the mouse pointer from the left, right or bottom of the screen all the way to the top. And when your application window is on a separate monitor from the application menu bar - grrrr! Well DejaMenu is a free utility that comes to the rescue by allowing you to assign a key combination to pop up the application menu right under your mouse pointer - no matter where it's located on the screen. In the show I also show you how easy it is to remap the DejaMenu key combo to a single mouse button using SteerMouse. MercuryMover - Whilst all these tips assist you using your mouse, true power users know that the keyboard is the way to go to speed up your workflow. On any Mac, constantly moving and resizing windows using the mouse can be a real time drain. The constant moving from keyboard to mouse and back again can add seconds to your workflow that over the space of a day, a week and a year, can waste an extraordinary amount of time. So wouldn't it be great to be able to resize and move windows directly from the keyboard with a couple of simple keystrokes? Well you can using MercuryMover! This simple but effective application allows your to move and resize windows by 1 pixel, 10 pixels or 100 pixels at a time and will also allow you to move or resize to the edge of the screen. You can even center or maximise your selected window with a single keypress. As well as these built in shortcuts, MercuryMover also allows you to save custom keyboard shortcuts that will allow you to save the size, position or both for any window on screen. Do you always want Safari to be the same size and position when you use it? Well you can reapply a saved setting via MercuryMover and resize and repostition the window everytime with pixel point accuracy. MercuryMover is currently available at a reduced price but ScreenCastsOnline viewers can get an additional 10% off by visiting a special store page. With each copy of MercuryMover sold, $2 of the purchase price will be donated to the National Cancer Coalition Please note that if you're receiving this notification via the ScreenCastsOnline email notification service, the link inserted below is for access to the free version (or trailer) of this show.

[Full Show] If you're like me, email is an essential part of my day to day activity and I really need to keep on top of the vast volume of email that flows in every day from friends, colleagues and business associates. If you're an organised person, you may already have a system in place that handles your email effectively along with all the other sources of information that we need to manage each day. If you're a productivity ninja, you may already have a fully blown "Getting Things Done" or GTD system in place allowing you to be the master of all your information and live in a perment state of nirvana! More than likely, you may still be looking for the best solution to fit your needs! Over the next couple of months, I'll be covering some of the top GTD applications for the Mac, but it's possible that you may not need an extra layer of complexity if you can just get on top of using your email. That's where this weeks show comes in, and introduces you to MailTags, a great plugin for Apples Mail application. Mailtags allows you to tag your individual emails with additional information such as as keywords, project, reminders, colours and notes. It also allows you to directly integrate your emails with iCal using to dos and events. Once you've tagged and classified your emails, Mailtags then allows you to organise and retrieve your emails in many different ways such as enhanced mailbox list views, smart mailboxes and spotlight searches. This show takes you through: Introduction to MailTags Installation & Setup MailTags Configuratiom Tagging Using MailTags Keywords & Project Tags Tickler Dates & Priority Message Colour To Dos & Events MailTag Notes Accessing Your Mail Using MailTags MailTags List View Searching Using MailTags MailTags and Smart Mailboxes Example Smart Maiboxes Tagging using Rules Please note that if you're receiving this notification via the ScreenCastsOnline email notification service, the link inserted below is for access to the free version (or trailer) of this show.

[Trailer for Full Show] Another Mac Montage this week! A couple of tips I use every week to create the show and associated supporting documents and graphics along with a great way to personalise your emails, together with a look at an OSX application. This weeks tips in detail are: Finding and capturing HiRes Icons in OS X: Now that Leopard supports huge 512x512 icons, application designers have gone to town, creating beautiful HiRes icons for all of your favourite applications. Not only that, but Apples own designers have created many, many beautiful HiRes icons for folders, software and even Apple hardware devices. This tip will show you how to find them on your system, copy them safely and create your own transparent png graphics for use in graphic projects and presentations - all for free. The tip also includes a handy little trick for capturing those gorgeous 512x512 icons from third party applications too! Creating eMail Stationery Templates: Another new feature in Leopard was the inclusion of full colour HTML based email templates to brighten up your emails. Whilst, the pre-built templates are all very nice (!) wouldn't it be great to design your own personalised eMail templates for personal or business use? Well this tip shows you how to do just that! By examining an existing email template, this tip steps you through the structure of the template and shows your how to amend the template to suit your needs, then save it as a custom template. Using The OS X Dictionary: The dictionary has been around for a while, but has been greatly expanded in Leopard to allow you direct access to a Thesaurus, and Apple dictionary and even direct access to Wikipedia. This tip also shows you a simple keyboard shortcut that allows you to look up words in any Cocoa app without having to load the full dictionary application - very cool! Capturing Single Frames in Quicktime Movies: This simple tip shows you how to capture a single frame in a Quicktime movie and export it to png or jpeg format.

From : ScreenCastsOnline HD
[Full Show] As well as covering the best in both Apple and third party software, I also like to cover OSX and some of the hidden features that continue to amaze me. One such feature is the inclusion of speech technologies within OS X Leopard, something that Apple has included with all versions of it's operating systems since the early 90s. However, OS X Leopard made some significant advancements in these technologies and introduced a new computer generated voice called Alex enabling the inbuilt Text to Speech functions become viable and in fact, extremely useful. As well as Text to Speech, OS X also has a full range of speech recognition technologies built right in, at no extra cost, allowing you to control your mac and access many application functions with just your voice - very cool! So this weeks show examines such features including: Text to Speech Setup Selecting Text to Speak Proof Reading using Text to Speech Automator Action to convert PDFs to Audio and import into iTunes Configuring Speech Recognition Using Speech Recognition Demo of some Typical Commands By the end of the show, you'll have a good appreciation of just what is possible and be ready to try it out for yourself!

[Trailer for Full Show] Amazing! Yes, that's the word I'd use to describe this brand new service which allows you store, sync and share your files and photos. The new service is called "Dropbox" and is fully cross platform with clients for the Mac, Windows and Linux. Add in a fully featured web interface plus an iPhone optimised web site, and your files and data can be seamlessly synced across all your computers and accessible from any machine with an internet connection. In some respects, Dropbox looks to be the service we were all hoping iDisk was going to be when re-launched as part of MobileMe. The free version of Dropbox gives you a whopping 2GB of free storage space, but don't make the mistake of treating this as just another online storage system. Dropbox has all sorts of extra features allowing you to share your files and photos easily via publicly addressable URLs, full file versioning and easy recovery, recovery of deleted files, special online photo galleries and much more. This weeks ScreenCastsOnline Extra! members show demonstrates all these features and more. The full show covers: Intro & Setup Using Dropbox Using the Dropbox folder Sharing Files From Your Public Folder Dropbox Web Interface File Versioning and Restoring Syncronising & Sharing Syncronising Between Macs Sharing Dropbox Folders Recovering Deleted Files Using Photos and Dropbox In addition, I also demonstrate how 1Password users can migrate from MobileMe syncing of their 1Password data to use the brand new Agile Keychain facility within 1Password, and use Dropbox to synchronise instead. This allows for a more feature rich, efficient and more robust syncing solution than using MobileMe.

[Full Show] This week is the final in the short series of product updates (at least for a month or two!) and I take a look at the newly launched version of PDFPen - PDFPen v4. As well as PDFPen, I also take a look at a side benefit of some of the new features of PDF Pen that will help Evernote users in enabling PDF files to be fully searchable in Evernote. As we're talking about PDFs, I also take a look at a free utility that allows you to take a standard full sized PDF and convert it automatically into a printable A5 booklet - very cool! PDFPen has always been a great low cost PDF editor with some features previously only found in very expensive, top end editing applications. With the advent of PDFPen 4, there are even more features and the show will take a look at: Newly revised User Interface New Thumbnail view in the sidebar Optical Character Recognition (OCR) - This is a big one, enabling you to take your scanned, uneditable and unsearchable PDFs and convert them automatically to have full searchable and editable text. New Highlighting & Annotation Features New Print options for Comments and Notes New TIFF Output The show also covers: Using PDFPen to convert your PDFs for Evernote Installing and using Create Booklet 1.0.1 Please note that if you're receiving this notification via the ScreenCastsOnline email notification service, the link inserted below is for access to the free version (or trailer) of this show.

[Announcement plus full clip] This week is a special announcement with two significant changes to the show including a change in the pricing structure. If you were considering joining, you need to checkout some time sensitive information contained in this weeks show. It's the second of an occasional series of various hints and tips on getting the most out of your mac. Instead of the show focussing on a single piece of software or subject, I mix it up with several unrelated hints and tips on various aspects of using a mac. As a special bonus, I've included the Automated Language Translation tip in this weeks free sampler show but Extra members get access to the full show including these tips: Numbers and OS X: Easily set up OS X keyboard shortcuts to access your most commonly used menu items. I found a few frustrations in switching over from Excel in that my normal keyboard shortcuts were not available in Numbers. A few clicks later and I was able to replicate them in Numbers and boost my productivity at a stroke! The really neat thing is that you can use the same technique for creating your own customised keyboard shortcuts in all your favourite applications. Numbers: Another frustration was the absence of the Excel command for "Convert to Columns" to convert imported CSV files. Whenever I imported CSV (Comma Separated Variable) files, they didn't format properly! The answer was blindingly obvious and you'll kick yourself if this has been tripping you up too. All is revealed in this weeks show. Safari: Despite all the choices we have as mac users with a plethora of browsers, I still keep coming back to Safari as my browser of choice. It's fast, fully compliant and integrates fully with the iPhone. Safari also has some pretty nifty features on how it handles tabs, windows and bookmarks including integration with address book. This section alone gives half a dozen tips on getting the most out of Safari iTunes: Following on from the recent show covering iTunes 8, another feature is the inclusion of artwork for Genres in Album view. It can get a bit messy when you have none standard genres and no artwork. This tip shows you how to access a free utility to manage and update your iTunes genres artwork plus gives you access to some free genre artwork via Flickr. OS X, Launchbar, Google Translate: This tip allows you to set up your mac to do virtually instant translation of foreign language text snippets. Frustrated by not being able to follow my non English speaking friends on Twitter, this tip shows you how to use Launchbar and the Google Translate service to quickly and easily translate virtually any language to any other language using a few simple keystrokes. Even if you're not a Launchbar user, you can still utilise copy and paste and the Google Translate service to accomplish this but not as impressively!

[Full Free Show] Another sneaky peak this week, this time on an update to one of the most capable image editors and that's Pixelmator. Since its launch exactly a year ago, Pixelmator has firmly established itself as one of the stellar graphics applications for OSX, or as they like to say "Image editing for the rest of us". Sporting many features previously only seen in high end image editors (and now with additional features not seen in high end images editors), Pixelmator delivers a wealth of functionality and some leading edge technology. With the advent of the soon to be released Version 1.3, the Pixelmator developers have been focussing on delivering better performance and re-working and adding to Pixelmators rich toolset. For this weeks show, I've split the contents into two halves: The first half is all about the new tools and significant enhancements to some of the old tools. This section covers: Smart Palette Hide Magic Eraser Magic Wand Enhanced Paint Bucket Hue and Saturation Replace Color The second half of the show looks at some of the other features and techniques used within Pixelmator to make it such a powerful package. These include: Layers Layer Masks Clipping Mask Curves Tools Gradient Tool Transform Tools Crop Tool And don't forget, there are a wealth of filters and effects also available in Pixelmator that I ran out of time to cover. Check out the previous screencast to see some of these in action. Please note, Pixelmator 1.3 is due for release in the next week or so!

[Full Free Show] This week, the show takes a sneaky peak at an application we've previously covered on ScreenCastsOnline, but which is just about to be re-launched with some terrific new features. The application is Circus Ponies Notebook, due to be released at version 3.0 in the next week or so. Circus Ponies NoteBook is a fully featured information manager which uses the metaphor of a familiar paper notebook interface complete with pages, tabs, sections and sub sections and now sticky notes and flags. It allows you to store text, outlines, to-dos, images, sketches, web clippings, email clippings, movies, PDFs or other documents on the pages of the notebook itself and then organise them with keywords, highlighting and even voice annotation. Once you've got your information stored, NoteBook makes it really easy to search all of your information. A comprehensive indexing system is built right into NoteBook giving you instant access to all the information multiple index pages, just like the index in a book. In addition, all of a Notebooks unencrypted text is now also accessible via OSX spotlight searches. As well as all this functionality, Circus Ponies NoteBook allows you to share your information easily and simply with other users and can even publish your notebooks to the web as fully functional websites directly to MobileMe or to any other Web Hosting Provider. It's been quite a while since we covered v2.1 of Notebook, way back in April 2007 so I'll make no apologies for covering some old ground rather than just focussing on the new elements. The application has taken the notebook metaphor to a completely new level with this release and includes some stunning new features which we'll cover as we move through the tutorial. Wherever possible, I've indicate new features by displaying this icon in the bottom right corner of the screen and added in additional chapter markers for easy navigation. Chapter markers are included in all Extra member versions of the shows but as this show has been sponsored by Circus Ponies, I've left them in the free version so you can try them out. This weeks show covers: Introduction to NoteBook New - Info Flags New - Inspector Changes New - Toolbar Changes New - Detachable Pages Adding Pages and Media Adding media files to NoteBook New - Support for Sketching & Writing New - Support for Pen Devices New - Diagramming & Sticky Notes New - Sticky Notes Outlining and Annotation New - Date Popup Web and Email Clippings Multidex Indexing Sharing your NoteBook Please note that if you're receiving this notification via the ScreenCastsOnline email notification service, the link inserted below is for access to the free version (or trailer) of this show.

[Trailer for Full Show] Something different for this week - a montage of Mac hints and tips! As you're probably aware, the show usually focuses on one particular topic or subject area but in doing that, lots of smaller topics get overlooked. So this week I cover 4 completely different topics that wouldn't justify a full show individually but should still help you get the most out of your Mac. This weeks mini tutorials are: Create a new Web Receipts option - OSX has a built in feature that allows you to use the print menu in any application to save your print to a PDF. They even provide a special option to save your PDF to a "Web Receipts" folder in your documents folder. This section allows you to duplicate this feature and create your own "Web Receipts" folder, call it anything you want and save it anywhere you want. The tutorial also shows you how to edit your new menu option to insert a time stamp right into the PDF title. Sharing Your Internet Connection - Did you know that if you have a Mac with an Airport card or built in Airport, that you can turn you Mac in to an Internet access point by sharing your wired Internet connection? I use this a lot to allow my iPhone to use Wifi in my home studio where 3G is non existent and my existing wifi router signal is very weak. A couple of clicks in System Preferences and even if you don't have a wifi router, you can switch on Wifi and use your Mac as a Wireless Access Point. Tweaking Screen Sharing - We all know that you can start off a screen sharing session using the button in the finder but did you know that there is a standalone screen sharing app built right into OSX? This section exposes the underlying app and gives you instructions on reconfiguring it to see all your bonjour enabled machines. It also shows you a tip on making the standard screensharing window much more functional by unhiding some extra features and buttons in the toolbar. Creating Disk Images using Disk Utility - Yes, we all use Disk Utility to examine our disks and repair permissions, but did you know you can create your own disk images to send to other mac users, swap data from mac to mac or even burn to CD or DVD. As well as standard disk images, you can even create secure, password protected, encrypted disk images to store your sensitive data on your disk away from prying eyes. In this section, I look at the basics of disk images, creating a secure disk image and explain some of the different file formats available to you. I also look at how disk images can help us store sensitive data on USB pen drives. So lot's to cover in this weeks show!

[Full Free Show] As promised, this weeks show follows on from last week, and covers some of the top Twitter clients available for the Mac (and Windows in two cases) The Twitter web interface is functional but could be better. Luckily, and some would say one of the catalysts of Twitters success, the Twitter developers have released a Twitter API or Application Programming Interface, that allows third party developers to create external clients for Twitter for the Desktop and Mobile devices. In this weeks show I cover three of the top Twitter Desktop clients: Twitterrific - A native Mac application that is the application of choice for many, many Mac users. A combination of small desktop footprint, support for keyboard shortcuts and access to many of OSX's inbuilt functions such as spell checker, makes this application ideally suited to the Mac environment. Twhirl - The first of two applications built on Adobes AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) - a cross-platform runtime environment for building rich Internet applications using Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, HTML, or Ajax, that can be deployed as a desktop application. Consequently, Twhirl can run both on OSX and Windows. The only downside is that this application doesn't have access to standard OSX components like Twitterrific, or support for keyboard shortcuts. This is offset by a much more feature rich Twitter environment along with support for other social networks built right into the Application. TweetDeck - The second application built on AIR, TweetDeck takes a unique approach by organising your Tweets into a multicolumn layout as well as keeping a local store of all your tweets. Add in support for some great realtime search features plus some other specialised support for Twitter services make TweetDeck a great option, but you need to have plenty of screen real estate to get the most out of it. TweetDeck is ideally suited to those of us with multiple monitor setups. Since this show was recorded, a new version of TweetDeck has been released with support for 12seconds, a sort of Twitter service but for video clips.

[Trailer for Full Show] Twitter! If you haven’t used it, you don’t know what you are missing! Launched in 2006, Twitter has become the de-facto standard for micro blogging and even after suffering problems with downtime and the famous “failwhale” people still go back to it, refusing to jump off Twitter onto the other micro blogging platforms. Ok, they might try others out, but they always keep one foot firmly in the twitter camp! Twitter has long transcended its original intended usage and has been transformed by the user base into an indispensable social and business communications tool. Basically it’s a simple centralised messaging system, which allows you to post text messages of up to 140 characters. Simple! You can follow other like minded people, news sites, commercial organisations, friends, family, colleagues, in fact all sorts of people and organisations and exchange messages with them. Twitter is both a noticeboard and a conversational tool allowing you to have your own “virtual watercooler” and feel more connected in this ever increasingly digital age. You really have to try it to fully understand the benefits it can bring. So this weeks show takes you through the basics of Twitter. The show covers: ◦ Setting up a Twitter Account ◦ Twitter Settings ◦ Using the Twitter Web Interface ◦ Finding People Using Twitter ◦ Twitter Messages ◦ Twitter @Replies ◦ Twitter Direct Messages ◦ Using Twitter Notices That’s just for starters and will give you a good grounding in Twitter basics and using Twitter on the web.

This week, I combine an application tutorial together with a real life example on how I've used it to create my presentation at this weeks New Media Expo. The application is Bee Docs Timeline and Timeline 3D Edition - a fantastic Mac application that allows you to create beautiful timelines for printing, publishing, presenting or exporting as HD quality movies. The main thrust of my New Media Expo presentation is a description of the journey I've taken since starting ScreenCastsOnline back in August 2005. Obviously, I settled on Keynote as the application to put the basic presentation together, but I needed something to create the central element of the presentation - the timeline. After being switched on to Bee Docs timeline by my good buddy, David Sparks of MacSparky.com, it became apparent straightway that this was the ideal application. Once I saw the 3D capabilities of the application, I was sold, and as for being able to export in HD Quicktime format so I could integrate with Keynote, well it doesn't get much better! Interestingly, Bee Docs Timeline is not just restricted to pure chronology and has a whole bunch of importers built in to access different types of data and present them as a timeline, allowing you to view information in ways you may never have considered before.
