Great video, but once again he skips over my favorite new feature the Color Slice tool, which is DaVinci’s answer to the recent Color DCTL’s.
And love that the edit page has been added to the iPad version as I am not as much a cut page user.

Looks like the latest Creative Suite currently works, but DaVinci does not, which is not good. And no word on SoftRaid which is honestly my most important software.
Honestly this is always the best place to check, though I do find that specific video editing software isn’t always the real focus here.
For a while Alexa hasn’t worked as well for me as my wife, but lately things have gotten so much worse.
We have 4 Alexa devices in our house, and we use it mostly to play music, set alarms and cooking timers and activate devices with voice control. My wife also makes shopping lists, though they aren’t compatible with shopping list program I use so I don’t it for that.
My issue is how much Alexa actively ignores me, like when a reminder comes on and it just won’t stop (unless I mark it done on my phone).
And even with music attached to my Apple Music account it often can’t find songs, but lately it won’t play songs, or they take a while to start and then only play half way through and stop. This seems to happen about 60% of the time of late. Maybe it is the Apple Music thing, but I don’t pay for Amazon music above my Prime membership.
And Apple music doesn’t explain why I will be talking to one Alexa and ask it to play music and it will play music in another room about 25% of the time. And it isn’t like it can heard me from the other room. I can’t seem to get it to do this with commands myself and it just makes zero sense. Why would it play in another room and not the Alexa that is responding to me?
And I use it to control the light in the Baby’s and I would say that is about 33% successful. It works less than it doesn’t, and I am repeating myself. It is great when it works, but is super frustrating when carrying a screaming baby to get a diaper change.
And then there are the creepy ads that show up all over social media when my wife and I talk about things around Alexa. I fucking hate targeted advertising!
And now they are talking about making a paid tier of Alexa to make it better. Really? Fix what exists first!
Honestly if I could get a bunch of Apple HomePods for cheap enough I would love to replace our Alexa’s! At least Apple places some value on privacy, though I am sure there will have to be new models to deal with Apple Intelligence when that comes out and those will cost more!

This is exciting, especially for faster monitors, I just hope it works better with more devices and hubs! I have a hub per bus already and could use more ports!
I can honestly say I would love it if it was lighter, and now that it can do 2 4k screens, though I would likely need 3, and at current resolution I am not sure that would work. I would say once it is in my normal glasses, and maybe in conjunction with my screens?

I used to use DragThing back in the day, but it has been ages since I even thought about it. It does seem more powerful than Mac’s current dock, though I am jot sure I want to spend the time to play. Hmm.
A Better Finder Rename has reached version 12.
I so love this software, I have owned it for years, and use it all the time. I don’t know how people live without it honestly.

Check out the Orion App.
Amazing how cheaply you can turn you iPad into a an HDMI monitor for on set work. THIS IS DAMN AWESOME! And the app is free (or $5 upgrade for all features including 4K).
I have been syncing my mac to the iphone since the iphone first came out, and the problem is that it has never gotten better. I sync a bunch of live music that isn’t available on streaming, so I sync to my computer Iplus it means my phone is backed up with passwords so if I restore I get my full working phone, which people on iCloud do not, they have to re-enter all passwords), but the actual sync is so awful.
First off unless you turn cellular, wifi and bluetooth off, the sync takes forever, but if you turn it off it is very quick, we are talking muti-hour sync vs 30 minute sync so it is huge. Why can’t apple fix this? Obviously they don’t care at all.
I hate having to do workarounds, but syncing my iphone with my mac via lightning cable means I have to switch my phone to airplane mode and that is fucking bullshit! If Airplane mode fixes the issue, then Apple could easily fix it, and they don’t care, as they do not want you to backup locally or put your own music on your iPhone.
From Alex Baker at DIYPhotography. This is about MGIE or Multimodal Large Language Model Guided Image Editing, which is for text based image editing. It is currently an open source project, but adding this to Siri on an iphone could be very powerful, and a huge deal for AI and iPhone.
