I've heard SWiSH Max2 is the best but looking into it, the program appears to only have a Windows version. Am I stuck with the (from what I've heard) inferior, and far more expensive Adobe Flash editor?Any other recommendations? I don't mind paying, but Adobe's own software is pretty steep and I heard it isn't the best. But if it's the best on OS X
I looked at: http://www.osflash.org/ and could not find too many mac things. I'm not worried about complicated action script or whatever, in fact I have a free maker now, (http://www.soft32.com/download_203443.html) but it dose not have action script, that's why I need one that does, for lets see, less then adobe's outrageous $699!
UltraEdit now available for the Mac, I've been a long time user of this text editor on windows for years and I've been lucky enough to do some beta testing with the product. I'm not connected with the author in any way but if someone needs/wants a new text editor, I highly recommend it.
Does anybody have any knowledge as to what would be the best free photo editor? I am looking to start such a hobby, but would like to get a feel for it before my purchase of Aperture, as I don't want to regret my purchase.
I just got a Mac about a week ago, I absolutely love it! I've been looking around on Google and no luck so I thought the best place to ask would be here. I'm in need of a syntax highlighting text editor (something like VIm, I use it for my college webserver but my website server doesn't have it). I'd prefer something free (not trials either). I have Dreamweaver, but it's on my PC. I just want something simple to work on my site when I'm not home.
I'm use to using Microsoft Frontpage to edit my website templates that use .html/.php, but now I use my iMac more than a PC and was wondering what is a great application that allows you to preview your changes before having to upload it to the server. Similar to Microsoft Frontpage?
I am a Video editor and already have the FCP suite and CS5 master suite. Is there anything else I would need? If not ...What would be the Top 10 must have apps for a Mac Book Pro i7?
Can anyone recommend a good, free code/text editor for OSX? I am used to using either EditPlus or notepad++ on Windows, but i'm aware that neither of these programs have OSX equivalents.
I have been using the Textmate demo for a few days and I like it's code folding and macros, but I wish it had an auto- autocomplete and tabs. I tried Komodo edit too and loved it's features; however it has the clunkiest Interface of any editor. I have never been a Dreamweaver fan, but if it has macros I will shut up and use it. I think I am, going to email the developer of Textmate later, because it really is a very nice editor, but it is lacking some needed features.
Basically, what I'm looking for is a program that has an easy-to-use WYSIWYG editor, but can create an extremely high-quality, media-rich site with Flash and HTML support. I need stuff like dynamic photo galleries, embedded flash movie players, flash jukeboxes, a content management system, a blog, etc. Maybe I'm trying to bite off more than I can chew, but our band needs this kind of site. We don't have the money to hire a professional web designer, either. I know there are already tons of threads on this, but none of them seem to help
Does anyone have recommendations for free vector graphics editors? The three I know of are: Inkscape DrawBerry DrawIt Lite
Inkscape seems to be the most highly recommended. I haven't read much on the other two, and from my playing around with them, neither seemed like they were quite as full-featured. I'm no graphics expert, though I'd like to learn more about creating vector graphic artwork.
I just switched to a MacBook Pro from windows. I used notepad++ for editing for a custom file format - I could enter all my keywords, operators, comment styling and it would give me the choice on how to colorize every part of it and give autocompletion for all of it too - its called a User Defined Language. I have tried every mac editor that I could find, but I couldn't find this in any of the programs. did i just miss it?
I couldn't even get textmate or bbedit to give me a list of sql keywords for autocompletion. and i understand that these are the best editors available? Could really use a powerful native editor for development - one that can at least give me simple autocompletion for the main languages (if it will give me function calls - that would be just perfect.
Im looking for an decent image editor for my macbook, preferably free or lost cost. I have already tried gimp, but wasn't that fussed on it n currently have seeshore & livebrush installed. I am looking for an editor that will enable me to create buttons & images with transparency / shapes etc etc. On my windows machine i have [URL] installed & would be hopefully aiming to find something along those lines for my mac...
I need a video editor (for mac, obviously) that I can use to make movies with more advanced features than iMovie offers, yet is not the complex professional Final Cut Pro/After Effects. Basically, something that's moderately easy to learn, user-friendly, but with hopefully as much features as the pro software.
I recently switched 99% to a mac and im having a very hard time to find an alternative software like "PhotoScape" on windows!
I print a list of applications i use on windows and started searching for alternatives!
I find everything i needed except that! I looked in to many many forums (inc here)... tested more than 50 software but no luck at all!
Free or commercial doesnt matter! The only link between me and my PC is photoscape and this is killing me!
A full noisy tower - 100 cables everywhere just for running one app. (winebottler wont run it normally)
What exactly im looking for (for those of you who dont know "PhotoScape")
Is a multi batch editor for pictures with "preset" feature. (not a photo organizer or something like iphoto)
I want to be able to add lets say 10 images, load the xxx partner preset and.. (auto action for that specific preset)
<example> - resize them with max width 600px - place a watermark with the name of the partner to a specific location on the image. text watermark with outline color and basic text tools predifined for each preset - rename them like "partner-01" - "partner-02" - "partner-03" etc etc -export them in Jpeg format with quality 80 to a subfolder called "partner-xxx" inside the folder with the originals.
I want to create a simple flash movie (I don't yet own or know how to use Adobe Flash). Pretty flowers in the background, inspirational music, passages from the Bible or something fading in an out... you know the schtick. Maybe convert it to a screen saver.
watch Youtube vids using H.264 MP4 codec instead of flash. As most of the videos I watch are recent uploads (last year or so) they have SQ and HQ H.264 version available. As Flash eats up system resources worse then anything I can think of at the moment, I am trying to find a way to force the videos to play in MP4 format. I know ClicktoFlash has this option for Safari, but I am trying to find out if there are any other ways to do this without user input (for playlists). I use YousableTubeFixURL for Chrome and Firefox which has the option to do this, but no matter what option I choose, it always plays using Flash. I know FF doesnt have a built in MP4 player, but I though I heard of a way to get VLC or Quicktime to play it.
Whenever I try to insert a new equation or edit an existing one in Word 2011, it instantly crashes. As an engineering student, this is obviously a major problem for me.
I am looking for a html text editor that color codes html tags. I am used to using cuteHTML on Windows which works EXCELLENT! I would assume there is something like this on OSx? I dont want anything to "build" webpages for me like Dreamweaver. For doing html by hand (and copy/paste) the colors really help your eyes work on a complex page easier than just using textedit for example.
I'm looking for a good and stable text editor to write a book in!? I don't like Pages that much because it's only a mediocre layout app, but in my opinion a bad text editor. Word on the other hand is better with text, but its interface is cluttered with superfluous menus and items that distract me.
I'm relatively new to OS X and love it. I've found counterparts to all of my old windows software I rely on except an image editor. I use to love paint.net on windows - I do lots of image editing where I need something more powerful than paint on windows (or paintbrush on os x), but don't want the learning curve and extra features of Photoshop or GIMP. Also, I'd like it to be free if at all possible.
