I need to do some simple video editing, ultimately exported to OGG format. Is there any good tool for this? It doesn't seem like the Apple or Adobe video editors support OGG natively.

Is Mojave-in-VMWare a reasonable solution? (Of course, doesn't help you once you leave Intel.)

There's also Photoshop Elements, which works reasonably well for a lot of stuff (and comes for a flat fee).

Chris Knight posted:I haven't used Elements in a fair few years, but last time I did they had hosed around with some very basic Photoshop conventions to make it annoying to figure out how to do simple things. It was less a light version of PS than some bastard other picture editor with the PS name grafted on. I have 2021 on this machine, if you use the "Expert" tab, it appears or acts mostly like Photoshop with some options removed.

I don't know if I should post this in the hardware or software thread, but what is people's solution for the stuff Rosetta doesn't support in the M1 world? Examples: I have some old x64 docker containers that qemu dies a terrible death on, and no ARM equivalent exists of currently. I have a couple of old 32-bit Mac Apps that I run in a VM for which I don't think an ARM equivalent exists of. Fortunately, these aren't things I have to use frequently but I'm wondering if keeping an old Intel Mac and using Remote Desktop is the way to go.

Family member has a 2015 MacBook Air and doesn't seem to want a new machine, but I don't them running an old OS with security vulnerabilities -- do the newest OSes run okay on older machines, or which release do peeps here usually like to run on machines like these?

Huh, command line "python" is gone now. Just "python3". Now they had been warning that python2 would go away, but it is not normal for "python" to point to the latest version? (Also, the first time I ran it, it spit out a bunch of errors before starting.)

If I have Big Sur on a machine, and I do a restore, will it restore to the latest Big Sur or to Monterey?

I don't know if this belongs in the hardware or software thread, but I met up recently with a coworker who had a Asus Zenscreen he used as a second laptop monitor. I thought this was pretty rad, so I'm curious if there are recommendations for what works well with Macs. I'd like something about the same size as the MBPs I use (so, 15 or 16 inch). I do see there are even some portable 4k monitors but I'm unsure if I can treat those as 2K retina or if it'll just make everyone squint.

LODGE NORTH posted:Retina is weird. It’s purely a marketing, naming scheme that Apple uses for screen that have a high resolution for their screen size, giving them a higher pixel density. Yeah, I know that, I use the term to refer to the behavior of treating high-resolution monitors like they're actually running at 1/2x the width/height and drawing everything much sharper. Using a 4K at 15' native resolution would not be fun, but at ultra-sharp 1080, it might be.

Photoshop to do stupid little edits, bought Pixelmator and then bought Affinity Photo. Pixelmator always felt a bit like stepping back to Paint Shop Pro, Affinity Photo seems more powerful. I am aware I do not use half the features it has.

Is there a good, free or cheap tool for minor edits to audio these days? [edit: More than just trimming the beginning/ending] I used to use Audacity, but...

armpit_enjoyer posted:Can you share a bit more about your use case? I could make a better recommendation then. For now, I just need to concatenate some WAV files, trim little bits and pieces out (sometimes from the inside, not the edges), maybe do a fade or two, and eventually save it back to WAV format. Things like that.

Binary Badger posted:Rosetta 2 will probably get yoinked / blocked from downloading at the same time This is what I'm curious about... Unrelated, so Dell has a 6K (and even an 8K!) monitor that is significantly cheaper than Apple's, will these run retina 3K resolution? Also, what happens if you hook one of these (Apple or Dell) to an older MBP that doesn't do 6K? Does it just render at 4K/5K/.etc?

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:Why do you want a 6k or 8k monitor at desktop sizes I'm sometimes working on some very high-res, detailed artwork, and I think I'd benefit from a bigger, higher-res display (and that my eyes would appreciate). Currently have an LG 5K.

Kind of a funky question, but for anyone who ever buys/plays games on their Mac, where do you usually buy them? The App Store? Steam? somewhere else?

Any recommendations on good animation software on macOS? I don't mind paying for software but I hate Adobe's subscriptions.
