Finally somebody else mentions 3 finger drag! It's so much better than clicking and dragging. It should be on by default.

@JonDiPietro 2 года назад

Three-finger dragging is an absolute life-changer! Great tip!!

@jazy_jaf 2 года назад

Hi Todd, you can skip skitch as this is built into macOS long time ago: SHIFT+CMD+3 = Screenshot SHIFT+CMD+4 = Screenshot selected Area SHIFT+CMD+5 = Screen Record

@radhamesreyes5562 2 года назад

I’ve owned a MacBook for about a year now and this video has just changed so much for me. Great stuff, thank you!

Thanks Todd, there is some great information in this VLOG episode. I've just updated my iMac 27" 2020 to the latest OS (Monterey)....I'm always nervous about updating the OS, I've had lots of trouble in the past!! and I've made some of the display changes you recommended. I always learn something new from your channel. Cheers

Hi Tod. I bought a MacBook recently and this video is a lifesaver for someone like me who is a first time user of Mac OS. Thank you so much for taking time on creating this kind of contents that are very helpful.

@attiliop.8639 Год назад

Great video. For hot corners I recommend holding down a key like Cmd and then choosing one of the options. This way you avoid accidental invocation of a corner.

@laurormrz 2 года назад

Hello, Todd. Great video! Had a quick question: When turning off true tone, there is also a drop down box for “Color Profile,” with Color LCD listed by default, but has many other options as well. Do you recommend or use any of the other color profile options in the list, or leave it on default “Color LCD”? Thanks again for all the info. Definitely a fan of your channel and content.

@dennyup Год назад

Your tip about changing the default resolution on the MacBook was an excellent one, one that I'd never thought about. My M1 Macbook Air's display is now so much better than before, and things just seem to "fit" better on the screen. Everything just looks more crisp and sharper overall. Thank you!

@jhors7777 11 месяцев назад

@kiv9431 2 года назад

There is no need to turn off True Tone and Night Shift. Instead, I would recommend to change display color preset. There is a number of specialized presets for video and photo work, and those presents automatically turn off True Tone and Night Shift for you. To make preset switching faster you can add display icon to the menu bar 🙂

The three finger drag is something I have been using for years. I cannot describe how horrible it feels to use a Mac without that accessibility feature enabled… It should be a default setting IMO. 🙌🏻

@jiteshpujari1 Год назад

Damn . Gonna try that three finger drag. I use magic trackpad along with logic mx keys. I have set one of the function keys on MX as left click so that I don’t have to click, hold and drag using trackpad

Todd! Good to see you - great channel! Fresh installs are definitely a good thing.. but I’ve used Migration assistant successfully nearly 100% over many years - including the migration from my MacPro to new MacStudio a few weeks ago. Everything came over perfectly, including all the Adobe CC suite apps. So, in many cases, it’s an excellent tool. Just my $.02.

@markg1531 2 года назад

Me too.

@DrLoneyDal Год назад

Me too. If you haven't tried it in years, the new version is a charm. If you are having trouble with Adobe apps you may have to de-register them on your old Mac prior to registering on your new computer.

@walkingmanvideo9455 Год назад

I just purchased one yesterday. WOW..........By gosh its a high performing Macbook. I ended up going with the 1TB model in 16inch M1 Pro. Rendering in FCPX is insanely quick. Most impressed that it appears to just handle anything I throw at it. Thanks for the video, it helped in making my decision.

@DanielHarrisCodes Год назад

I’m also “late” to the M1 Pro range having purchased in late 2022 (had the air before as a general purpose laptop but found myself wanting to use it for work and wanting some more ports and stuff) I was tempted by the 16” but mainly just move between office locations where I dock so the portability of the 14” won me over. The 16” feels like quite the experience and feels quite special when your sitting in front of it you feel like you’re controlling a beast of a machine, bit more impactful and exciting in some ways

@apostolicbible1 Год назад

Excellent presentation! I will do most of what you suggest except strip out Apple apps...you never know when you need them. If memory is a concern get a larger SSD or external HD or external SSD.

@ConnorCrosby 2 года назад

Bartender is a great app that lets you hide unnecessary menu bar icons. You can easily access them by pressing a button if necessary. This is great especially in the age of the notch.

@akarca 2 года назад

@davinci05131979 Год назад

I left youtube on auto play and your video came up. I think you can do this with your thumb, index and middle finder, but I've always use all 5 (yes technically 4 and a thumb) but if you put them in the center of the trackpad and spread them apart, it will show you the desktop.

@salvadorebrandt6063 Год назад

Danke!

@ootje7076 2 года назад

You don't raise the resolution but scale the desktop. There is an optimal scale for the screen ratio you use, also for second screens. I also change the scaling rightaway because I want maximal screen estate.

@TheZaackTosswill Год назад

Thank you. This is the comment I was looking for. For a second I almost thought apple was setting their screens to a lower res by default, and you could manually increase it like some android phones do.

@Jane-qr7eg 2 года назад

Hey Todd! Thanks for all the info this was super helpful. Been using my M1 MacBook Pro for a while now and picked up some new tricks!

@HexarRF 2 года назад

1. Hazeover is a small app that dims or blacks windows of other apps than the foreground app. Good for reducing visual clutter. 2. Bartender hides/manages menu bar icons until mouseover. 3. Keyboard Maestro does macros for macOS. Works nicely with Elgato Stream Deck.

@DanielHarrisCodes Год назад

Thanks for the recommendations, hazeover sounds useful and something I imagine Apple or MS adopting into their operating systems one day, sounds good for all people but especially for accessibility for people who may struggle to track everything on their screen

@VtecSaran Год назад

Ur Voice So Nice bro 👍

@peterpayne2219 Год назад

My #1 tool ever is Keyboard Maestro which is for automating anything. Sadly snazzy RU-vidrs like you never give the program any love.

Hi Todd, Thanks for this. I have a weird question but thought of asking you here. I got the conversion luts from your store but I believe i'm doing something wrong when I expose my footage. I had my Zebras set to 55% IRE and exposed for a skintone (one stop above) and when i converted the footage a lot of noise appeared in the shadow areas. What do you think I could do to reduce the noise?

Thank you so much, Todd! I did just about every step that you did in this video and it is making my mac experience a whole lot better!

Hi. This video was quite helpful. I'm a photographer and I just purchased a macbook Pro m1, 13" which is like a switch from Windows OS, but I currently have issues with using my editing softwares. Every time I import a raw image into my photoshop or capture one pro, it does not display as raw image, it displays as jpg, and the name changed into something unrecognisable. Please what do I do? This is already discouraging me. Thanks.

@peterpayne2219 Год назад

I love Dropbox because it actually copies the resource fork of files, which is important in a lot of situations (custom icons or Finder comments). I actually prefer Resilio Sync because it’s peer to peer, and buy-once. I don’t want my files living on Google or Dropbox or Apple’s servers, being checked by their algorithms. Resilio Sync is way better for that.

Hi there, I recently bought a 14" M1 Pro Macbook pro with Mac OS Ventura pre installed along with 4tb internal ssd. I like it so far, but here are some of the things I have noticed and do not like it about it. First, the battery drains quick. and the second issue I have is whenever I want to to use an external hard drive and formatted in exfat or in ms-dos(fat) the macbook wants to run slow. and it's not with one particular external hard drive, it's with any other external hard drive formatted in exfat or ms-dos (fat). But if the external hard drive was formatted in APFS format then ist runs smoothly and quick. why is that? why in exfat or in ms-dos(fat) it runs slow?
