MacVoices #16096: Charles Edge Takes Control of OS X Server 5 and More Charles Edge has advanced Take Control of OS X Server to the third edition, this time covering the revisions and changes in Server 5. While the update to Server isn’t massive, some controls have been relocated and renamed. Charles talks about some of those changes, why you might not want to run your own server, and why you definitely shouldn’t run your own mail server. If you do, though, Charles discusses automatic software updates, how and why to back up servers, and more. The conversation also touches on security, the goods and bads of corporate IT departments, and Charles’ many other projects and books. This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Casper.

MacVoices #16095: Mike Woodworth of divergent media On The Integration of EditReady and ScopeBox Mike Woodworth of divergent media makes a pre-NAB visit to MacVoices to talk about two of their products, EditReady and ScopeBox. EditReady is a fast, simple yet powerful transcoder for anyone who needs or wants more than just straight conversion of formats. With LUT (Lookup Table) support and the ability to convert frame rate, resolution and encoder, EditReady is something anyone at any level of video production can use. ScopeBox delivers in software what used to be available only in hardware - scopes to help you make the most of your footage. With their new ScopeLink, you can feed video straight from your favorite NLE (including Final Cut X) straight to ScopeBox. Mike talks about the integration of the two, why LUTs can be a challenge to find, and the suprising reason compression of consumer formats are often faster to transcode than pro formats.

Smile has released TextExpander 6, the latest update to their text expansion utility, adding features and changing the pricing model. Greg Scown and Maia Olson talk about both, including the new ability to share snippets with other members of your family or your business team. The new sharing feature across Smile’s new cloud service is quite a bit different that the old syncing across devices function. Greg explains why, and how this will be the basis for the future, not just the present, of TextExpander. Maia details why the subscription model will mean more updates delivered to users sooner, and both compare and contrast the pricing of the old, separate-purchases-for-different-platforms with the new all-inclusive pricing.
