FotoMagico Example

Filed under: TMUP-Blog — Victor Cajiao @ 12:31 pm

Yesterday I reviewed FotoMagico fro Boinx Software. Below is a short example of the kind of thing you can do with software. I took the beginning of yesterdays podcast and matched some pictures and graphics to go with the sound file. All of this took about 30 minutes to make. Enjoy it.

Freeze Frame makes the “Spinnning Beach Ball” Your Friend

Filed under: TMUP-Blog — Victor Cajiao @ 8:36 am

When is the “Beach Ball of Death” NOT bad news?

When you decide to take control of your Mac applicaiton using Freeze Frame by Elgebar Studio.

This application uses the power of UNIX (that’s right folks OS X is UNIX) to be able to “Freeze” an application on purpose. For example, when I”m using Sound Track Pro to create Apple Loops, my CPU gets slammed. What if I was already downloading a bit torrent and I really wanted to give more CPU to the torrent application without quitting Sound Track Pro.

Freeze Frame let’s you freeze the application with one click on a icon. Now, the system does think that the application is frozen so you will get the spinning ball and the “Not Responding” message. However the application is not really frozen. This is Freeze Frame’s way of telling you it’s working.

Try Freeze Frame yourself today and turn that “Spinning Beach Ball of Death” into a friend not always your enemy.
