Youtube limits how long descriptions can be.
The rest is also posted as the first
comments.
This video makes the assumption that you are
on an Intel mac running Tiger (as most new
Mac users are). If you have any thing to add
or a tutorial of your own, post it as a video
response. Another thing I didn't mention: If
you're on a MacBook go to the 'mouse and
keyboard' menu, then on the gestures menu
check all of the boxes and hover over them to
see how to use them, then once they're all
enabled, make good use of them!
MAC APPS: (Note, you can just google the
names of the ones you want to download)
* gDisk - Use GMail as a hard drive.
* Photoshop - NOT Intel compatible yet, so
it's really slow and you might want to
reconsider before sinking 300+ bucks into it.
* Gimp - Like photoshop, but free, and less
stable
* Google Sketchup - Make 3D structures pretty
quickly (you could use this and the above
three for, say, backgrounds for green
screened videos)
* iMovie - You already have this, it's a lot
lighter and simpler than Final Cut Studio,
it's good for just popping out quick videos
that don't require layering.
* CamTwist - Free program that lets you put
filters on your webcam in real time. In
addition to that, you can string it through
iMovie and apply those filters to video if
you need to. It has a lot of filters.
* iShowU - Captures video images off the
screen.
* TubeSock - Downloads YouTube videos
directly as MP4s (or even just rips the MP3)
given the URL.
* MacTheRipper - Rips DVDs as files.
* DVD2oneX2 - Burns ripped DVDs onto new
DVDs.
* LimeWire - Kind of obvious, but also
consider it's 100% safe to use on Mac because
you literally cannot get viruses or malware.
Great for finding MP3s. (Remember, YouTube
legally lets you use a great deal of
copyrighted music now, such as anything from
EMI)
* BitTorrent - A torrent client. The OS X
version of BitTorrent is actually pretty
good. No need to use other ones.
* CyberDuck - A great FTP.
* Audacity - Free audio editor.
* Google Earth - There's a mac version too.
View the entire world in 3D. Real satellite
images, 3D mountains and building structures,
etc.
* Colloquy - Great IRC program for OS X
* Safari 3 - Safari is the most stable
browser on OS X. The OS X version of FireFox
has a lot of problems. Get the newest version
at http://www.apple.com/safari/
* Adium - Amazing instant messaging program
for OS X. Like Trillian on PCs, but a lot
easier to use. Sign in to multiple screen
names on different networks (AIM, MSN, YIM,
Google Talk) at the same time, automatically.
Download at http://www.adiumx.com/
* NeoOffice - A stable free and fast office
suite like Microsoft Office.
* Microsoft Office - Discontinued and slow,
but, somewhat effective.
* Flip4Mac - Adds more filetypes to the
Quicktime codec, like Windows Media Player
files. Lets you import WMA files into your
projects and view them natively in quicktime.
* Gmail Notifier - If you don't use Gmail,
you probably should, it's the best email
client on the web, and it's great for
managing all the emails youtube sends. I have
filters set up to ignore emails regarding my
featured video, and specifically label emails
about new subscribers, etc. Gmail notifier
alerts you that you have new messages
instantly.
For more tips, check the first few comments,
as I've nearly maxed out the description
limit.
