Edito, Markdown editor for iPad

by Brett Terpstra (Oct 14th, 2010)

Edito is a new Markdown text editor for iPad. It's a simple app that does one thing well, and that's edit Markdown (a plain text markup language with a simple syntax, which can render text to myriad formats including HTML, LaTeX, and PDF). It adds a few features to the mix: An extra row of keys ...

BBEdit 9.5.1 out now

by Mike Schramm (Jul 29th, 2010)

You lousy kids, with your iPhones and iPads and iGadgets! Back in my day, we worked on real computers, with real keyboards, and mice with one button, and we liked it! BBEdit is a relative relic of that age -- when text ruled the Earth, BBEdit ruled text. And the old Mac app is still being updated. ...

Steve Jobs' Head and the iPhone girl's single

by Mike Schramm (Jul 1st, 2010)

Ever wonder what's in Steve Jobs' head? If so, then this song is for you. Jonathan Mann is a singer-songwriter who's been doing a song a day since the beginning of last year, and he wrote this little ditty about the crazy, mad genius of one S. Jobs. Mann's a big Apple fan, apparently; he also ...

Ducati creates a short film with the iPhone 4

by Mike Schramm (Jun 30th, 2010)

I have to eat my words -- despite my belief before launch that an iPhone 4 wouldn't be hard to find without a preorder, I'm still waiting to get the chance to buy one. But I got to play with another one last night (that screen!), and just like every other time I've had a chance to use it, I've ...

YouTube uploads from iPhone 4 are downsized

by Chris White (Jun 26th, 2010)

Updated 5:50pm: Commenters are right, emailing the video from your iPhone has the same size restriction. The original version of this post had the correct info, but an editing error mixed up the email limitation. Yesterday when we posted that iMovie for iPhone 4 was available on the App Store, we ...

iMovie for iPhone 4 is now available

by Michael Jones (Jun 24th, 2010)

iMovie for iPhone 4 arrived on the App Store tonight, just hours before the official 7:00am launch of the iPhone 4. As promised during the WWDC keynote, the iMovie app brings the ability to edit and share videos directly to the iPhone. From transitions to titles, to adding background music to your ...

iSaidWhat?! lets you put a twist on words

by Sang Tang (Jan 20th, 2010)

Arguments happen, words are thrown, and words are sometimes misconstrued. "Stop putting words in my mouth!", someone might say to you. With Tapparatus's iSaidWhat?! [iTunes link], now you can put words in someone else's mouth. Well, sort of. In addition to serving as a basic voice recorder, ...

How to create your own Toast DVD menu style

by Mike Schramm (Feb 23rd, 2008)

A while back reader Michael Coyle was nice enough to send us this write-up on how to customize Leopard's Guest account, and just recently he sent along another guide that you might not need right away, but will come in handy when you really need it. He's got an in-depth look at how to create a ...

iMovie '08: It's not that bad

by Lisa Hoover (Sep 3rd, 2007)

iMovie '08 has gotten a bad rap lately so I decided to put it through its paces and see what all the fuss was about. Now, I'm not a professional video editor -- just your average Josephine -- but, frankly, I think the new iMovie kinda rocks. ...

BBEdit version 8.7 released

by Mike Schramm (Aug 7th, 2007)

BBEdit 8.7, the latest version of the triple-A HTML editor, has been released. Update: OK, so the reason I originally thought that all the "new" 8.7 features sounded familiar is because I actually was looking at the release list for version 8.5. The 8.7 release notice is here, and it includes Lua ...

�bercaster, all-in-one podcasting tool receives new features, enhancements

by David Chartier (Jul 23rd, 2007)

It's been a while since we've written about Übercaster, the all-in-one tool for recording, editing and publishing podcasts, but that doesn't mean its developer, Eberhard Rensch, hasn't been hard at work on it. Through updates over the last couple of months, Übercaster v1.1.5 has gained a ...

TUAW Exclusive: Video of Pixelmator in action

by David Chartier (May 31st, 2007)

Click To Play The moment I saw John Gruber link Pixelmator - a powerful new Core Image-based image editor with support for layers, a wide variety of tools, iLife/iPhoto, Automator and more - I had to get a closer look. I remember the days of Apple hyping Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and all ...

TUAW Tip: Preview has basic text, cropping and editing tools

by David Chartier (May 29th, 2007)

We sing the praises of plasq's fantastic private beta Skitch tool for making it dead simple to capture, edit and share screenshots with a good variety of online communities, but Mac OS X's own Preview app for viewing images and PDFs isn't without at least a couple of these basic tools. These ...

TUAW Exclusive: Skitch screenshot gallery

by David Chartier (Apr 12th, 2007)

We've been blogging Skitch, a new 'hybrid' photo editing and web services tool from plasq (makers of Comic Life), since Scott first met and fell in love with it at Macworld 07. Using the app through its development, it's clear that Skitch is going to knock people's socks off, with a well-executed ...

Avid2FCP: making the switch to Apple's Final Cut Pro

by Brian Liloia (Mar 15th, 2007)

Avid has been the standard, and long-established, non-linear editing software of choice in the film industry until Apple's Final Cut Pro began to challenge its dominance, and now many Avid editors are making "the switch" to FCP as it has picked up the pace. With that, the "Avid versus Final Cut Pro" ...
