tommcb6016 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I have finally been pushed over the edge by my (crap) windows laptop and delved *deep* into my pocked for a mac ) It's bloody amazing! why havn't I got one before now! Although saying that nothing is where I expect and I can't seem to find anything (no right click=odd). Is final cut worth 200 quid?? not had a chance to play with iMovie yet.

Steve Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Buy a third party mouse and you'll have right-click. Final Cut Pro is okay, the newer version is very different to all previous versions but evolving well since it was launched. For most people iMovie is all they need and is very very cheap (buy it from the app store for about a tenner). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Stick with Imovie until you have sussed it. Dont get a mouse, its ace when you et used to it. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Do you mean the Magic Mouse Simon or the single click mouse? SIngle click mice need an option key pressed or using menus which is way too long-winded. Been using Macs professionally for 18 years and never liked the single button option (even though there was no choice in the early days). If you can stretch to an A4 or bigger Wacom tablet then there's no looking back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Standard mac settings mate.... One finger on the pad is a left click and two fingers is a Right click... Simple. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Standard mac settings mate....One finger on the pad is a left click and two fingers is a Right click... Simple. SW Ah, the Magic Mouse. Unfortunately it is absolute rubbish on Mac Pros, one place where Apple really screwed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 On a Mac Pro? You've got more patience than me by a long shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommcb6016 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 I quite like the Magic mouse, especially the two finger tap to show all open windows! I'm so used to using windows that it will take a while to get my head around a new os (now I know how my gran feels) Just had a play with I movie and it works perfectly with no freezing, bsod, reboots, swearing, stomping off in a huff (amazing what 4 cores and 8gig of ram can do for you) I might download the trial for fcpx its free for a month, Simon do you use final cut ?

Steve Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 It's amazing that my kids can use the Magic Mouse, and my misses, all on iMacs and loving it but I can't 'cos I'm on Mac Pros. I'm not bitter and twisted and feeling left out of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Yes, I use FCPX 'did have 7' and Motion. Its awesome! (but will need a good few hours of playing to get close to the most from it.) SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommcb6016 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 I've been watching some tutorials on the tube and it looks very powerful! maybe start on iMovie and see how i get on Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 iMovie is the place to start of moving to FCX for sure. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
