Hi guys,
I was wondering if you guys could provide me a promo code for the app "AutoCAD LT 2013" on the Mac App Store and I will write a full review of the app on the MAS, MacRummors and MacUpdate.
This are a few reviews from companies that provide me one, applications like RapidWeaver, Pixelmator, Permute, etc.
APP: PIXELMATOR:
Powerful, Fast, Easy-to-use!!
As I see it Pixelmator is your best choice for image edition on your Mac for several reasons, First of all when you compare it with Photoshop Pixelmator's interphase is far more friendly to use, it works so smoothly and support over 100 image file formats. It also support Photo Browser offering quick access to your iPhoto or Aperture library, events, albums, and smart albums. Pixelmator works for everybody, from beginners trying to learn how to be creative and to professionals working with huge photographs.
The main attraction and the ones that makes you love this app are. 1) Hand Drawing Freedom, Pixelmator comes with graphics drawing tablet support that allows you to create unique graphics by hand and It has over 20 tools for selection, crop, painting, retouching, typing, measuring and navigation. 2) Painting Tools, the great thing about the painting tools that are included with Pixelmator is your ability to change the brush size, hardness and shape of the tool you are using. Pixelmator even allows you to combine gradients with other painting tools, such as the fill tool and brush, to create one of a kind graphics. 3) Filters and Effects, Pixelmator comes with over 130 filters and special effects that you can apply to your photos. A few of the filters and special effects that are included with Pixelmator are color, distortion, tile generator, transition and blur sharpen and when you apply a filter or effect to an image in Pixelmator, you will see the results in real time. 4) Pixelmator is based on Core Image technology that uses your Mac’s video card for image processing. Core Image utilizes the graphics card for image processing operations, freeing the CPU for other tasks. And if you have a high-performance card with increased video memory (VRAM), you’ll find real-time responsiveness across a wide variety of Pixelmator operations. Pixelmator is blistering-fast on the latest Macs.
You will never regret of buying this product, I guaranteed you that 100%. Pixelmator was built exclusively for Mac OS X, and it shows.
APP: ISUBTATILE
Good, simple and easy to do it!
The application doesn't let you created any subtitles on your own, what it does is that it let you put SOFT subtitles, meaning that it won't change or alter the original movie and it has a resolution-independent rendering, so your titles will look as good on a 50in plasma HDTV as they would on an iPod touch. The advantage of this subtitles are that you can turn it OFF/ON any time you want and you can see it on any apple device without any problem what so ever.
Some people complaint about this application, arguing they add a semi-transparent background to the subtitles, on my opinion this background won't bother you at all, it is really nothing, the videos will looks as perfect as it is not there. another plus is that you can add as many subtitles as you want. spanish, french, Italian and have them in a menu to choose from later on. If your movie is on a format that suits your needs there's no reason to re-encode it, just add the subtitles and you are good to go. If on the other hand, your movie is not suited for your device you can batch re-encode it straight from within the application. You can also tag your file with metadata that you can't find on iTunes, like the HD symbol, the directors, rating, etc...
The way it works is that you search for the subtitles using the webpages the apps recommend without even leaving the application, just look for the subtitle you want on the web and press download, as simple as that, or if you already have it on your computer you can add it too.
APP: PERMUTE
With a great layout and architecture this app is the best video conversion tool. The app is base on a drag and drop interface making it so simple and nice to convert a video, you don't have to worry anymore in dealing with applications that are so complicated to achieve the same job.
You may think that because PERMUTE looks so simple is not a powerful tool, but let me tell you IT IS! You can convert your videos to almost any format you want, you even have preset conversion keys to your favorite devices like Xbox, PS3, any Apple device and so on. If you want to you can edit and customize your presets the way you like it. You have six options to choose from and for me the most import ones are Copy Track and Keep Quality. They may look as the same but they are not, as Krystof from the PERMUTE staff told me "Copy track copies the video track data without any decoding/encoding. It is considered (by me) as quite an advanced feature and it doesn't have to work with all the input-preset combinations and makes the conversion super fast. On the other hand, Keep Quality does reencode the video track, while it tries to compute the bitrate information from the input file, so the picture quality is kept". The best part from my point of view and I'm sure for a lot of users is that you can keep the quality (Audio/Video) of your file and transform it to another type like M4V, for example I'm kind of person that doesn't like to transform an HD video MKV file because most of the time it will loose its quality. With PERMUTE you don't have to worry about it any more, because you are able to change video files to any format you want, just by setting up the configuration option to "keep quality" you will end up with a video just like the original MKV file. It is just amazing and so simple to do it with just a few clicks !!!
If you are looking for the best video conversion tool for your Mac ! Well, this is it, I recommend it a 100%.
It really works amazing and smoothly.
