Picked p my new MAc last night - GoFuckYourself.com

vidvicious · 07-05-2008, 10:13 AM

Sweet!! ..ok so i was against mac a two years ago .. but I ve been editing on a mac studio 2 for the last 6 months .. and damn i love the workflow and the learning curve .. so as of last night I am the proud owner of a 17 inch mac pro 2.5 4 g ram sweet lookin sivler slim laptop .. hee hee ...

first things first ...

what the best client to use for ICQ and MSN ..
also anyone got some really cool programs for mac ?

cranki · 07-05-2008, 10:18 AM

congrats, I guess adium x would be the best IM client

jakethedog · 07-05-2008, 10:21 AM

Adium is best for mac in my opinion .. loads all chat mediums, is slick and fast .. you are going to LOVE your macbook... Ihaven't shut mine off for 6 months and it purrs like a kitten ..well a kitten on steriods .. but a kittten none the less ..

iMind · 07-05-2008, 10:46 AM

AdiumX is cool.... be prepared to hear people telling you they never got your message and vice versa tho .. it's hit and miss I find.

WebairGerard · 07-05-2008, 11:16 AM

I love my macbook and been using Adium as well. now and then an issue with it like most chat programs but I still find it to be the best by far. enjoy!

also check out pure-mac.com for some cool programs

macker · 07-05-2008, 11:44 PM

Macs are the business. Say bye-bye to reboots

VIPimp · 07-05-2008, 11:47 PM

The only thing that sucks is the icq... and adium didnt work out for me as my chat msgs where being delayed when sending.

pamon · 07-05-2008, 11:58 PM

ditto on adium... works great... congrats... hauling on a mbp here... love it

Bods4Mods · 07-06-2008, 01:29 AM

Macs so rock

RedShoe · 07-06-2008, 01:31 AM

You turned mac???
What a moron. I can't fucking believe you!

Oh.. btw.. I just got my first mac 2 days ago. Kinda excited to get started. Any advice you wanna pass along for FCP is greatly appreciated.

Godsmack · 07-06-2008, 03:50 AM

Loving my Macs as well.. just got the Imac 24 3.06 4 gig and it's super fast..
What i like most about it is that it makes NO noise!..

Adium X is pretty ok, not perfect though...

Sosa · 07-06-2008, 10:58 AM

I plan on getting one in a few months. Just trying to decide if i want the 15" or 17" macbook pro. Where did you buy yours from?

yahoo-xxx-girls.com · 07-06-2008, 10:59 AM

You know Mac's OS is SOS right... ^^

payd2purv · 07-06-2008, 11:02 AM

I've owned macs for the last 10+ years along with non Apple pcs...

My latest was a MBP about a year ago..

I will not be buying another Mac ever again.

It's just not worth it to own Apple anymore.

Your gonna love FCP studio 2 .. I'm a martox PC man .. from my very first suite some 8 years ago, a Matrox Digisuite LE on NT platform. To the last suite I cut on a RTX. Color Correction with studio 2 is great, it's an all in one bundle, from grafix, fx to color correction and DVD authoring, multi camera timelines.,etc So far my only draw back is dealing with Apple formats. but i'm starting to get the hang of it.

Evil E · 07-07-2008, 09:03 PM

Congrats Vid, if you you have any questions for video editing stuff on macs, my friend does all of it with it(mostly final cut...) lmk

JC-OCCash · 07-07-2008, 10:10 PM

Whats up VID! Thanks again for the hospitality in Montreal! Had a great time.

firefox is also 10 times more crash happy if not more

lacuna · 07-08-2008, 12:53 AM

Love my macs. Congrats on the buy.

Adium is the obvious choice for ICQ.
Smultron is an awesome free text editor.
Audacity is a good free audio recorder/mixer.
Switch is a great free audio format converter.

EuroRev_Stacey · 07-08-2008, 03:32 AM

Congrats on your new MAC! Love to have the Macr Air soon

Jens Van Assterdam · 07-08-2008, 03:35 AM

Congrats! MAC´s rock!

DamianJ · 07-08-2008, 05:50 AM

The very first app I always install is Quicksilver it is an application launcher on steroids.

NewbieNudes · 07-08-2008, 05:59 AM

Step 1: Install Vista on BootCamp.

The new macs run vista sweeeeeet.

HorseShit · 07-08-2008, 06:12 AM

blah I can't stand 17" notebooks.. video editing or not

tranza · 07-08-2008, 06:12 AM

Nice to know...mac rocks

Mike Honcho · 07-08-2008, 06:13 AM

pics or lies.

Sosa · 07-08-2008, 10:07 AM

Can't wait to get mine, i said a few days ago it would be a month or so. Well I just went ahead and ordered last night. 2.4 ghz 15" mac book pro will be here Thursday

got extra ram coming as well that I will install.

NaughtyJohnson · 07-08-2008, 10:29 AM

I caught the Mac bug a while back...Omnigraffle is an awesome program to use with Mac's too.

DomP_nl · 07-08-2008, 10:39 AM

wow no hate posts so far...

I always love to tell them to stick with windows

as for great aps: quicksilver (automate workflows and start stuff fast), pathfinder (replacement for finder with a shell app) and imagewell when you have to crop or edit a pic fast.. for ftp you want to use transmit..

michaelsb · 07-08-2008, 10:49 AM

I use the web based meebo.com for all my IM communication.

I love my mac book pro too, very happy with everything about it and how reliable the OS is

Corleone · 07-14-2008, 10:58 PM

hearing so much about them lately. might give it a try as well

bobby666 · 07-15-2008, 12:52 AM

MichaelP · 07-23-2008, 02:59 PM

Congrats Vid.. You gonna love it..

Of course you'll have a small learning curve, but in the end you'll turn into a Mac lover, like everybody who try them do

Been on Macs since forever (Still have my 1988 B&W Mac classic, somewhere)

Yes AdiumX is the best for ICQ, AIM, etc...

I am injoying the mac .. I've loaded all the programs i need . just haven't found a good mov converter yet ..

as for the chat .. as you saw the other day aduim has fucked up on me .. murcury seems to work ok for messenger but can't do icq .. so i'm still on the lookout for a good chat client.

Oh One question michel .. do my pc fonts work on MAC ?

brandonstills · 07-23-2008, 03:28 PM

+1 for Adium

miss_bellabellini · 07-24-2008, 10:30 PM

yeah adium handles all your communication needs including multiple accounts. But aperture is a great first start for editing and organizing your photos. PM me if you want some advice. And final cut pro is amazing for video. I am a mac only condo;p

Voodoo · 07-24-2008, 10:34 PM

I just got mine. It's pretty sweet.

Kroy · 07-25-2008, 01:54 AM

To Mac users: please note that most options you can choose from to capture at with the Easy Setup option will capture your footage with proprietary codecs and Windows editors will not be able to work with them.
AIC and AppleProRes are obvious but it gets worse (if you use a newer version of FCP).

Instead of capturing HDV as MPEG2 as it should, FCP wraps it in a version of MOV that can only be read by MAC systems with FCP installed. All others will get a white screen and audio.

This is the case even if you DO NOT specifically select a proprietary codec but the seemingly logical HDV 60i Firewire Easy Setup option.

So in case you have a shared workload be warned that Windows-based editors will not be able to work with your stuff.

(I did find a complicated workaround to work with footage captured with the new HDV60i Firewire/MOV option, more about that on my blog).

Why don't you just render out as animation or PhotoJpeg. That worked for me.

That's basically what I did (PhotoJpeg...see steps on my blog). Point is it's a huge pain and not the most ideal option.
