Several designers I have talked to are thrilled about the availability of the Mac edition of AutoCAD, as it takes advantage of the features of Mac OS X and the Mac hardware, but uses the native DWG file format for cross-platform compatibility. There's a free trial available, and students and educators can get a free copy of the application. Upgrades from previous versions of AutoCAD on other platforms are $1,995. The application isn't cheap - the MSRP for the software is US$3,995, although one online retailer is offering $500 off that price. Mac-loving engineers, drafters, designers, and students have been waiting for a Mac-native version of AutoCAD to reappear on the platform for many years, so when Apple and Autodesk announced AutoCAD for Mac 2011 in late August, there was a lot of excitement.Īutodesk reported today that AutoCAD for Mac 2011 is available for purchase. Pop-up nags: Pop-ups noting we'd downloaded VideoPad and asking what we thought of it were annoying. Clicking Suite accesses NCH tools that integrate with VideoPad. For example, the Transitions menu has 12 selections, including Fade, Wipe, and Reveal clicking More Transitions uncovers 24 more choices, from Diamond to Page Curl to four kinds of Split.Īdd SFX, Suite, and Help: The Audio tab's Add SFX button downloads clips from a stock sound effects library. Many controls: Every menu is full of useful items, and every tab has sub-tabs in VideoPad's control suite. It's clean and efficient, thanks in part to embedded controls that appear in every clip for fast, on-the-spot editing. Office-style layout: A Ribbon-style toolbar and a multi-window layout provide a familiar look and intuitive feel to VideoPad's well-rendered user interface. It's compatible with camcorder feeds, HD, and 3D and includes a wide range of filters, effects, and transitions. You can drag and drop clips into Timeline and Storyboard tabs for easy editing, rearranging, and converting. NCH's VideoPad Master's Edition adds unlimited audio tracks and plugin support to a fast and easy-to-use video suite. Panic!’s insistence on melodrama and literary flourish, shaped in part by the influence of Wentz and other labelmates, was easy to parody. Rock purists weren’t the only ones who rolled their eyes at the wordy song titles and self-conscious lyrics. But 15 years and a few band-member departures later, Fever still holds up as an audacious and unlikely classic-a polarizing product of its time that has continued to resonate with young listeners well after the glory days of emo and pop-punk. A lot has changed since the mid-aughts, when the airwaves were ruled by bands such as Paramore and My Chemical Romance, which sublimated young heartbreak into screeching ballads and whimsical stage plays alike. The debut album they released the next year, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, vibrated with the same anxiety that accompanied their cyber Cinderella story. “Pete had only heard, like, two to three songs, and all of a sudden we were expected to go and write a whole record.” “There was a lot of pressure,” the lead guitarist and main lyricist, Ryan Ross, later told MTV News. In the blur that followed Wentz’s listening to their demos and deciding to sign them, Panic! at the Disco became a bona fide pop-punk quartet before they had performed a single show. (Nigel Crane / Redfern)īefore TikTok, SoundCloud, or even YouTube existed, four gawky teenagers from suburban Las Vegas found success by posting their music to an unlikely platform: the Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz’s LiveJournal page. Wide-eyed and brokenhearted, the greasy-haired Nevada teens of Panic! at the Disco channeled their woes into elaborate, vaudevillian theatrics. Microsoft now believes strongly in recurring subscriptions that can be budgeted in, and will likely reserve its choicest features for the O365 subscribers. Many, though-including the ink effects and a Researcher tool that pulls content from Bing to add to your notes-will continue to require an Office 365 subscription to work properly. Those features will be preserved, Microsoft said. Microsoft’s OneNote for Windows 10 does look a bit more consumer-y than the Office 365 version, including sparkly ink effects and other fun features, including the ability to “read” equations and other inked words as text. Tags will migrate to the Windows 10 OneNote app in the coming months, Microsoft said. Microsoft made the smart choice to continue migrating its best features from the Office 365 app over to the native application, satisfying its user base. The native app seems to be much more stable in that regard. Personally, I migrated away from OneNote for Office to the native Windows 10 app some time ago, and never looked back-in part because my beloved audio-syncing feature would stop working unexpectedly, and that’s bad news for a reporter. What this means: Though Microsoft has invested millions of dollars in its Office 365 apps, there’s a few basic, native apps within Windows 10 that reproduce most of the functionality that an average user needs: Mail, for example, can work just as well as Outlook in some situations. |
