Re: merging several clips into one video on my mac?
This is easily done in QuickTime Player. Simply load the first movie into QT, do a select all”, then “successively “perform an insert clip after selection” command from the edit menu for each movie you want to add. repeat the “select all” after adding each movie to ensure the clip gets added to the end. If nothing is selected, the command changes to “add clip to end”. You can change the position a clip gets inserted by selecting the clip prior to the place you want the new clip to appear, and then doing a “insert clip after selection. You select clips in the media composition window which you bring up with command E. there is a horizontal list of clips, and you select a clip by routing mouse to VO and doing VO shift space. The clips aren’t identifiable by anything but there position in the movie track, so you have to count and remember clip orders, but it still works fine if your movie isn’t too complex. This should work well for you as both QT and iPhone videos are the same format .mov BTW: I just figured this out in the last 20 minutes by experimenting with some test clips, so you won’t have much trouble working it out. QT seems to be a decent video editor for simple stuff and a good replacement for iMovie. I will do a lot of recording and editing in QT, then import into iMovie V9 for wrapping and uploading etc. good luck with this.

Re: Using range of header rows and columns in numbers
That’s a good idea, but in this case Numbers does not change the cell references into header names. It works if I want to sum the cells in one column, say Electricity, over the range of rows under the header of January, but for whatever reason it won’t let me sum multiple columns, such as the 4 columns under the header Utilities, over the range of rows in January. Maybe the header referencing feature just doesn’t work like this. Thanks for the suggestion, Greg On Mar 7, 2015, at 2:25 PM, Phil Halton philh...@gmail.com wrote: you could try an experiment. create your formula using e5:h10 as you call it, and see how numbers translates that to column/row header references. example, If I reference a cell like C5 in a formula, and column C has a header reference of March, and row 5 has a header reference of Wednesday, then numbers will translate C5 into March Wednesday. In the same way, create the formula with cell references and see what numbers makes of it in terms of header references. It’ll give you an idea of how numbers handles such matters and will probably help you figure it out without need of an advanced manual. Just a thought.

I don’t really understand your question the way you posed it. I can tell you that the bottom header row, that is, the row closest to the actual data rows, can be referenced in formulas to refer to the entire column beneath it. Similarly with column headers, the column closest to the actual data columns can reference the entire row to its right.

Re: Using range of header rows and columns in numbers
you could try an experiment. create your formula using e5:h10 as you call it, and see how numbers translates that to column/row header references. example, If I reference a cell like C5 in a formula, and column C has a header reference of March, and row 5 has a header reference of Wednesday, then numbers will translate C5 into March Wednesday. In the same way, create the formula with cell references and see what numbers makes of it in terms of header references. It’ll give you an idea of how numbers handles such matters and will probably help you figure it out without need of an advanced manual. Just a thought.

Re: merging several clips into one video on my mac?

Note that vo works better with the page in the Safari reader. On Mar 7, 2015, at 8:51 AM, Phil Halton philh...@gmail.com wrote: This is easily done in QuickTime Player. Simply load the first movie into QT, do a select all”, then “successively “perform an insert clip after selection” command from the edit menu for each movie you want to add. repeat the “select all” after adding each movie to ensure the clip gets added to the end. If nothing is selected, the command changes to “add clip to end”. You can change the position a clip gets inserted by selecting the clip prior to the place you want the new clip to appear, and then doing a “insert clip after selection. You select clips in the media composition window which you bring up with command E. there is a horizontal list of clips, and you select a clip by routing mouse to VO and doing VO shift space. The clips aren’t identifiable by anything but there position in the movie track, so you have to count and remember clip orders, but it still works fine if your movie isn’t too complex. This should work well for you as both QT and iPhone videos are the same format .mov BTW: I just figured this out in the last 20 minutes by experimenting with some test clips, so you won’t have much trouble working it out. QT seems to be a decent video editor for simple stuff and a good replacement for iMovie. I will do a lot of recording and editing in QT, then import into iMovie V9 for wrapping and uploading etc. good luck with this.

RSS Reader with Great Instapaper Support
Hi everyone, I really like the way Night Owl handles Instapaper. Once you've set it up, you press one command, command+E, to send the text of an article whose link is in a tweet to Instapaper. It's really efficient. Now I'm wondering if I can get the same simplicity for sending articles to Instapaper with an RSS reader in OS X. I currently use Vienna RSS Reader, which is an excellent free app that syncs with a number of cloud-based services, but its Instapaper support is not one simple command like Night Owl is. Any recommendations very much appreciated. Thanks.

Re: creating blog and web sites
Hi Sarai, very sorry to hear about your job situation. Hopefully the ideas you have for your website/blog can help begin the next chapter of your career. There are many content management systems (CMS) out there, but the two with excellent accessibility support that are wisely used are Drupal and WordPress. This is one of those age-old discussions where some people strongly prefer one or the other, often based on what they learned first. Some time back, I did an FSCast on this stuff, and since accessibility questions relating to the web are, and should be screen reader agnostic, it might be worth a listen. I've administered Drupal and WordPress sites and I'd agree with Mark's WordPress recommendation. The WordPress community is thriving, it's pretty intuitive to use and there's a lot of power in the platform. The iOS app is pretty cool and you can get push notifications when someone leaves comments etc. If you're selling things, many options exist for integrating with Pay Pal. The Mosen Consulting, Appcessible and Mosen Explosion sites all do slightly different things, but they're all WordPress based. The three of them show a range of scenarios in which you might use it, from e-commerce to multimedia. A lot of blind people are working with WordPress, so there's plenty of support. If you are looking for ways to monetise your blog/site, then you'll want a domain name and probably want a full self-hosted solution, so you have as much control as possible. I'm presently using shared hosting with a company called DreamHost. They just switched to solid state storage for all the drives in their shared hosting system, which has made a discernible speed difference. Shared hosting is a cheap way of getting up and running, and you can always migrate to more expensive, robust solutions later. For example when I ran Mushroom FM, we ran a dedicated server because of the insane bandwidth and resources we were using. Best of luck with what comes next for you.

Re: RSS Reader with Great Instapaper Support
Thanks Alex, I'm happy to deal with the quirky set-up if I can get the sharing going at the press of a button, so will check it out. Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org On 8/03/2015, at 4:55 am, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com wrote: Readkit is my favorite. I don't read RSS on the Mac often, but it's great for when I do. Getting to articles can be slightly more work than I'd prefer, but sharing is great. You can just log into your Instapaper, Pocket, Readability, or other accounts, then choose the shortcut to use. For instance, if I'm on a story and hit cmd-shift-i, the article goes to Instapaper. In the app's preferences, you can set most shortcuts to whatever you want. Oddly, the Shortcuts tab has nothing for read later hotkeys, you have to go to the Sharing tab and choose your account from the table, then set the hotkey in there. Despite the strange setup, though, it works very well. Needless to say, the app is accessible. Back to opening articles. I'm used to Lire, which automagically grabs the full text of articles, even if you'd normally get just a preview and have to click through. You can get a similar experience in Readkit by hitting G (to view with Readability) sometimes. Other times, you must click through no matter what. Despite this, the overall experience is quite good. The app does cost a few dollars, but the customization is great and it's very easy to use. It even supports reading your saved Instapaper or Pocket articles if you have premium service on your read later account of choice.

Anyone had success on their iPhone at the Ted talks website?
Hi all, I have been having problems on the Ted talks website on my iPhone. I have no issues playing back a talk when I can find it, but when I try to use the search feature the submit button doesn't seem to work. I have also found that some of the pop ups don't seem to work properly. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know a workaround?

Re: Using range of header rows and columns in numbers
You seem to be mixing terms. you refer to “leftmost” header rows and “top” header row. Rows can’t be leftmost or rightmost, they’re stacked one above each other. Just as header columns are vertical columns each next to the other. I don’t really understand your question the way you posed it. I can tell you that the bottom header row, that is, the row closest to the actual data rows, can be referenced in formulas to refer to the entire column beneath it. Similarly with column headers, the column closest to the actual data columns can reference the entire row to its right. On Mar 7, 2015, at 9:45 AM, Greg Aikens gpaik...@gmail.com wrote: Hello all, I have a spreadsheet with two header rows and two header columns. The Leftmost header row lists each month. The second header row list individual transactions for each month. The leftmost header row is a merged cell so that all of the January transactions fall into the January header.

I have a top header row for utilities and then below it, columns for gas, electricity, internet, etc. In the numbers help files I see that I can use the outside header to refer to the series of rows or columns, and it works if I want to do something like calculate a total for one column in the month of January, etc. Is it possible to calculate a total for all my utilities columns for the month of January without having to specify the specific range of cells? I realize I can go in and say something like E5:H10 to refer to that range, but it would be far faster to be able to say something like “January Utilities.” For whatever reason, this does not seem to work for me. I get a formula error when I use sum(January utilities). Could anyone recommend a resource with a more in depth explanation of how the header referencing in Numbers works? Thanks for any help.

Re: RSS Reader with Great Instapaper Support
Readkit is my favorite. I don't read RSS on the Mac often, but it's great for when I do. Getting to articles can be slightly more work than I'd prefer, but sharing is great. You can just log into your Instapaper, Pocket, Readability, or other accounts, then choose the shortcut to use. For instance, if I'm on a story and hit cmd-shift-i, the article goes to Instapaper. In the app's preferences, you can set most shortcuts to whatever you want. Oddly, the Shortcuts tab has nothing for read later hotkeys, you have to go to the Sharing tab and choose your account from the table, then set the hotkey in there. Despite the strange setup, though, it works very well. Needless to say, the app is accessible. Back to opening articles. I'm used to Lire, which automagically grabs the full text of articles, even if you'd normally get just a preview and have to click through. You can get a similar experience in Readkit by hitting G (to view with Readability) sometimes. Other times, you must click through no matter what. Despite this, the overall experience is quite good. The app does cost a few dollars, but the customization is great and it's very easy to use. It even supports reading your saved Instapaper or Pocket articles if you have premium service on your read later account of choice.

Re: MP3 tagging utility for mac?
IDE Tag Editor is accessible and pretty good though you have to get used to the way it works which is very ddiffernt from Mp3Tag on Windows. . With some tasks in IDETag Editor it is better to open multiple files from within Finder whilst in other circumstances it is better to open a folder from within the program. Essentially opening for example 10 files from Finder will open 10 windows in which you can edit information on each track, which may be useful if you are for example numbering each track whilst in contrast Opening a group of files within the app will open not 10 windows but 1 summary window which is often more efficient to use and you can for example force the filename to tag titles in one summary operation. It is not as full featured as Mp3Tag, it does not for example, have a auto-numbering wizard or recourse to Tag online databases, at least I have not found these tools in the app. it is also not free and cost to buy. Once you get used to the interface it is fine for basic tag editing though. It is also useful for identifying information about Mp3 files that Apple has bizarrely decided to hide from the Finder interface like Mp3 Bit Rate. However it will only provide the tagged information on bit rate and not analyse this for you.the he main annoyance is that it only handles Mp3 and I think Apple uncompressed files and will not for exsample handle m4a files which is odd for a Mac program. MP3Tag will handle m4a and WMA as well. David Griffith On 07/03/2015 03:40, Joe Quinn wrote: Is there a good mp3 tagging utility similar to mp3 tag for windows for mac?

Re: RSS Reader with Great Instapaper Support
Does not support the one I use either but I'm going to have to seriously consider switching because I think Feedly is probably a more compatible option at this point. Leaning more toward Lire for iPhone right now over Feeddler although that may really not be the case. I'm just really dissatisfied with everything. Lire certainly supports Feedly. And since the web interface for Bazqux is so bad, it's probably time to move away from it anyway. I'm getting kind of tired of Vienna as well. I do like Vienna but am really not happy with the ability to get things into a convenient readable format from Vienna and recent builds have caused the interface to be a little more sluggish than I prefer. Guess I can justify the $10 with the move away from Bazqux since it's the same price per year. I just hope I like ReadKit enough to stay with it. Anybody else have any comparison between ReadKit and Vienna? Thus far, I have not objected to paying for Bazqux because it is rock solid and fast. I've been really busy with work and have not had the chance to properly investigate this. Does anyone know why Feeddler is not properly opening articles in full text mode for many RSS feeds? I assume I am remembering correctly that it uses Instapaper as a mobilizer. Is Instapaper the problem? I only hope I can get something that moves me back to efficient news processing soon. I don't have a premium Instapaper account and don't particularly want to pay for it unless there is a reason to do so. Is there not a trial version of ReadKit?

Re: Calendar on the Mac once again.

To make your life easier, I’d suggest that you enter the event with a start time if you know it. So, for example, you could enter “Meeting with Sam tomorrow at 11 am” then press return. Calendar will figure out what date tomorrow means and you can modify the end time or start time later. Calendar will also title the event as “Meeting with Sam” for you. If you’re not sure how to edit specific areas within the event info window, try using VO-space and it usually works. Later...

Slightly OT: in search of a new blogging platform
Hi all, I'm posting this in a couple places, so you may see it twice. I'm frustrated with Wordpress. Their mobile app is great, but their website is annoying with VO on the Mac. They claim to support Markdown, but don't return MD text when you go to edit, and suddenly my blog stopped interpreting MD for some reason. They also mess with the characters I use, replacing a double dash with an em dash and an apostrophe with a single quote. I'm in search of a new blogging platform, and here are the things I need, and don't need but would like, it to support. * Markdown support, and this is a must. I need to be able to post with Markdown, and, when I edit, to be editing in Markdown. That is, I don't want to post initially with Markdown, then get HTML when I go to edit. I know HTML, but I hate working in it, especially on iOS. * Free. I don't post often, so if there's a post or traffic limit for free accounts, that's probably fine. * Apps: I need it to be compatible with Mars Edit, unless the web interface is truly amazing, and I'd love an iOS app. Wordpress has such an app, and while I don't post with it, I love it for getting notified of new comments and taking action on them from the app. * I don't need, but would like, a good comments system. Readers should be able to post with just a name or email address, not need to make an account or solve a captcha. Anti-spam for comments is a must, since Wordpress tells me it's blocked over two thousand spam comments on my two blog accounts to date. * Auto-posting new blog posts to my Twitter account would be great, but isn't required. * A way for people to follow me by RSS is highly desired. * The ability to include pictures is good. I haven't yet, but I'd like to. Ideally, there would be a way to know where the image would be, how big it will end up, and if text will wrap around it. Basically, an accessible way to know roughly how the embedded image will look. Not what the image contains, but how it impacts the layout of the rest of the post. So, any ideas? I've heard that Tumblr would be a good choice, but that was from a sighted person. I've also been told of Dreamwidth, a site I'd never heard of but that one of my Twitter followers really enjoys. I'm not looking for community *on the blog site*, as my community comes from comments and Twitter more than any website. I do, though, need what I choose to meet the above requirements.

Well, the good news is that I can overcome both problems (most likely, but no promises) by accessing the EKEventStore through Cocoa. If that's Greek to you, the bottom line is that I can probably do this, but it requires OS10.9 or later, maybe even 10.10 or later. I'm on 10.10, but I'm wondering how many people this would affect? Existing scripts would continue to work, but if I find a faster/easier way to do what they currently do that also uses Cocoa, I'll do it. Plus, I could probably revamp and expand the template system, since I would no longer need to use my own hacked-together solution but could instead use a real, Cocoa-based one. I'd probably archive what I have and put the existing scripts in a subfolder, so those who can't run the new ones don't need to, but I would no longer support them.

Re: Talking Dashboard Probably Going Mavericks Plus Only
Quick update. I plan to take what I have right now and put those scripts into a folder called something like legacy scripts. They'll run just as they do now, and won't be updated or added to. I'll then use things that only work on Yosemite and newer and make them the primary scripts. Enough people use Mavericks or below that I won't just leave them out, and if something is able to be added to them I might do it, but my efforts will focus on the new stuff mostly.

There's a time/date one, one for battery, one for current wifi status, and more. Most of you also know I've wanted to add a script for upcoming reminders and calendar events, but I could never get it working right, and I didn't like that it would always force Reminders or Calendar to launch. Well, the good news is that I can overcome both problems (most likely, but no promises) by accessing the EKEventStore through Cocoa. If that's Greek to you, the bottom line is that I can probably do this, but it requires OS10.9 or later, maybe even 10.10 or later. I'm on 10.10, but I'm wondering how many people this would affect? Existing scripts would continue to work, but if I find a faster/easier way to do what they currently do that also uses Cocoa, I'll do it. Plus, I could probably revamp and expand the template system, since I would no longer need to use my own hacked-together solution but could instead use a real, Cocoa-based one. I'd probably archive what I have and put the existing scripts in a subfolder, so those who can't run the new ones don't need to, but I would no longer support them. So, basically, if you use Talking Dashboard, on which version(s) of OS X do you use it? -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com mailto:mehg...@icloud.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: RSS Reader with Great Instapaper Support
Feedly seems, from my limited exposure to all this, to be the most popular/supported option. I use it, and have had no syncing problems so far. it's use of read as a marker, instead of properly deleting articles, is annoying. Still, once you get used to that, it's not a big deal. Just star anything you want to keep instead of keeping it as read, and set your clients to clear read items, and there you go. Readkit was $2 or $3 when I got it, and offered no trial. That may have changed, but as Feedly is free, it's a low cost option. Lire might be more now, but I got it on sale and the developer is really, really wonderful about accessibility support, so I'd pay $10 with no hesitation. Lire even has an area in settings where you can decide what VoiceOver speaks in folder or article lists. Not what's on the screen, but what VoiceOver says. I once asked if there could be a way to do a double tap and hold to mark articles up to the current one as read, and it was there a few weeks later. Basically, Readkit on the Mac is fine, but Lire on iOS is one of the best RSS apps I've ever used.

Re: Slightly OT: in search of a new blogging platform
Alex, Sorry, can only address the double-dash substitution. I’m not sure that this is actually a Word Press issue in that the MacOS does that sort of substitution by default and I found it extremely frustrating in Terminal until I figured out what was going on. You can turn off this substitution behaviour globally in System Preferences, Keyboard under the Text tab. Uncheck the box for Smart Quotes and Dashes. You can also leave that feature enabled and alternatively disable it for individual apps by going under the Edit menu, Substitutions and unchecking the Smart Dashes item. The only thing here is, that I don’t think you can individually set that in Safari, so, the global setting may need to be applied. HTH. Later...

Two Questions
I had to write a few letters today. I wrote the first one and wanted to use some of the same language in the next two. I duplicated the first document and saved it under the same name. Maybe I should have saved it under the new name right away but I didn’t rename it until I wrote it and found out that I could rename with the ellipsis. I couldn’t read the original file after I renamed it. Also, I emailed these letters to three different politicians and they all came back. I copied the information verbatim so I know the spelling and form were correct. I used the shift hyphen to underline and the shift 2 for the at sign but think one of these signs might have been incorrectly used. I was able to email everything by cutting and pasting but I’m trying to find out what I did wrong.

Re: Slightly OT: in search of a new blogging platform
Thanks, I've done that, years ago in fact. Like you, I was running into problems where punctuation matters (AppleScript and Xcode in my case). In fact, it struck me that the substitution I'd long since disabled on the Mac, and that I'm certain isn't happening in Mars Edit while I compose these posts, *is* happening once the blog goes live. Since it appears on the blog, but not in my draft, I have to conclude that it's the fault of Wordpress itself. Normally this would be a minor annoyance, but a post I've been trying to get to the site actually discusses hyphens and dashes, so I really need things to stay exactly as I write them. BTW, as a total side note, if anyone needs to write the em dash but has substitutions disabled, use option-hyphen.

I’m not sure that this is actually a Word Press issue in that the MacOS does that sort of substitution by default and I found it extremely frustrating in Terminal until I figured out what was going on. You can turn off this substitution behaviour globally in System Preferences, Keyboard under the Text tab. Uncheck the box for Smart Quotes and Dashes. You can also leave that feature enabled and alternatively disable it for individual apps by going under the Edit menu, Substitutions and unchecking the Smart Dashes item. The only thing here is, that I don’t think you can individually set that in Safari, so, the global setting may need to be applied. HTH. Later...

I'm frustrated with Wordpress. Their mobile app is great, but their website is annoying with VO on the Mac. They claim to support Markdown, but don't return MD text when you go to edit, and suddenly my blog stopped interpreting MD for some reason. They also mess with the characters I use, replacing a double dash with an em dash and an apostrophe with a single quote. I'm in search of a new blogging platform, and here are the things I need, and don't need but would like, it to support. * Markdown support, and this is a must. I need to be able to post with Markdown, and, when I edit, to be editing in Markdown. That is, I don't want to post initially with Markdown, then get HTML when I go to edit. I know HTML, but I hate working in it, especially on iOS. * Free. I don't post often, so if there's a post or traffic limit for free accounts, that's probably fine. * Apps: I need it to be compatible with Mars Edit, unless the web interface is truly amazing, and I'd love an iOS app. Wordpress has such an app, and while I don't post with it, I love it for getting notified of new comments and taking action on them from the app. * I don't need, but would like, a good comments system. Readers should be able to post with just a name or email address, not need to make an account or solve a captcha. Anti-spam for comments is a must, since Wordpress tells me it's blocked over two thousand spam comments on my two blog accounts to date. * Auto-posting new blog posts to my Twitter account would be great, but isn't required. * A way for people to follow me by RSS is highly desired. * The ability to include pictures is good. I haven't yet, but I'd like to. Ideally, there would be a way to know where the image would be, how big it will end up, and if text will wrap around it. Basically, an accessible way to know roughly how the embedded image will look. Not what the image contains, but how it impacts the layout of the rest of the post. So, any ideas? I've heard that Tumblr would be a good choice, but that was from a sighted person. I've also been told of Dreamwidth, a site I'd never heard of but that one of my Twitter followers really enjoys. I'm not looking for community *on the blog site*, as my community comes from comments and Twitter more than any website. I do, though, need what I choose to meet the above requirements. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com mailto:mehg...@icloud.com -- You received this
messages on the mac
Hello all, I have a couple questions about the messages app on the Mac. Someone has just sent me three consecutive messages, two of which contain contact cards. The only message I see from the person is the last one. How do I access the two previous ones? And how do I add a contact card from the messages app as one would do on the iPhone? thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.
