27 OctScreenFlow 2.0 Adds Some Awesome New Features!

The popular software ‘ScreenFlow’ for Mac just released and it adds some pretty awesome features for your editing pleasure. You can now add new 2D and 3D video transitions between clips simply by pushing two clips together and there is a wide variety of transitions to choose from as well. The ability to tweak the speed of video clips should make it much easier to get your audio to line up just right, instead of re-doing the shoot. Also, you can now pause the recording whenever you need to, instead of having to make a whole new clip.

There is also a lot more tweaks done to the audio part of the software, making it easier to get your audio and video to match up perfectly. And the new audio-ducking feature automatically adjusts the volume of your background music whenever your voiceover comes in, so that saves some of the work for you.

Another one of the new features, which I really love, is the ability to publish the Read more…

21 OctRumored Service Named ‘Google Audio’ Could Compete With Apple’s ‘iTunes’

Multiple sources have said that Google allegedly secured content rights from almost all the major music labels over the past few weeks. All this is going towards a new service that Google is starting up supposedly called ‘Google Audio’ which is a kind of a basic name but fits the spot right. This service is going to start out in the United States but it is said that it could go global.

“We’re still gathering details, but our understanding is the service will be very different to the Google China music download service that they launched in 2008,” the report said. “That service, which is only available in China, allows users to search for music and download it for free.”

One thing that is unknown is whether or not the new service would provide purchase and download of content, like iTunes, or another format, like streaming Read more…

Apple is investigating several reports of people complaining about poor battery life for their iPhone 3GS users after they upgraded to the 3.1 firmware.

06 SepSnow Leopard: Not Living Up To The Hype At All

So as you all know, Snow Leopard for the Mac was one of the most talked about topics rumoring across the web for a few weeks before and after the release. Now, I did a review on Snow Leopard a day or two after using it (that video can be viewed here) and I was quite impressed that I gained 20GB+ back of memory and the performance seemed to be faster. A few days rolled by and I was starting to get aggravated because my internet would keep going in and out and yet, before upgrading I never had this problem, that was the first of a few things to come.

The next problem that I found Read more…
