Basic Editing of Quicktime Files on Mac

[Kelly Ford]

Hi,

I am trying to do some basic editing of quicktime recordings.  So far the most 
success I’ve had it to use cmd+y to turn the recording into clips and bring up 
the clip view with cmd+e.  I then interact with the list and have to count the 
number of clips and delete the items I do not want.

What I haven’t figured out is if there is a faster way or a method to get the 
details about each clip, such as length.

These are generally videos where I want to cut segments out from the middle of 
a screen recording I’ve made.

SuperDuper.

[Anders Holmberg]

Hi!
I bought superDuper a month ago or so.
So far I really like the program.
Though it renamed my backup disk to the same name my startup disk has.
Maybe this can be changed, I haven’t really figured things out yet.
However since I am thinking of buying the new m1  Mac I  don’t know if it will 
work or nt?
So i am a bit unsure on  if I should or can use it.
Thanks.

Hi,

No.  Although the processors within will normally prevent overcharging, 
overheating etc, it is still unecessary and possibly problematic to leave a 
laptop permanently charging.

Later…

Why does Siri not speak when i plug in headphones?

[Paul Hopewell]

Hello,
I am running the latest IOS on my iPhone SE 2020. I have disabled Hey Siri and 
instead start Siri by pressing and holding the Home button. My headphones plug 
into the iPhone via an Apple lightning to jack adapter. All normal audio output 
is directed to the headphones when they are plugged in.
Siri works fine when my headphones are unplugged. However when the headphones 
are plugged in and I ask Siri a question I get s slight delay and then hear the 
current time or the screen I was on before asking Siri.
is there some Setting I need to change to enable me to hear Siri responses via 
the phone speaker when headphones are unplugged and to hear them through the 
headphones when they are plugged in?
Many thanks … Paul Hopewell

Re: Using VO without a Function Key

[Brad Snyder]

The Fn key is not necessary when using VoiceOver, if using a full size extended 
keyboard.
The Fn key is necessary if using a MacBook Pro/Air machine because of the 
compact keyboard without Home/End or PageUp/PageDown keys.
In this case the Fn key is used to perform these functions using the arrow keys 
as follows:
Fn + Left Arrow = Home.
Fn + Right Arrow = End.
Fn + Up Arrow = PageUp.
Fn + Down Arrow = PageDown.

Therefore, the VoiceOver keyboard command, Fn + VO + Left Arrow, is the same as 
VO + Home, which will move VoiceOver focus to the beginning of a table.

HTH.

- Brad -

Re: Using VO without a Function Key

['Mervin Keck III' via MacVisionaries]

Thanks Brad. I was just wondering today what the equivalent to Home and End, 
Page up and Page down was on my M1 MacBook Pro. I was performing a few tasks 
and running back and forth between my Windows 10 machine and my Mac. I had 
planned on looking it up tomorrow in one of my resources.

To All iOS VoiceOver Users, Twitter Spaces is Accessible, Give It a Try

[M. Taylor]

Hello All:  

This past week, I have been giving Twitter Spaces a test drive and I am so
excited to recommend it to all iOS VoiceOver users.

First, I am going to paste in some text from a 9 to 5 Mac article, written
last year, that summarizes the Twitter Spaces feature:

Begin Article fragment:
Twitter now lets users join Spaces via desktop and mobile web browsers
By Filipe Espósito, 9 to 5 Mac.
Spaces is a live audio chat platform developed by Twitter, which was
officially introduced earlier this year as an alternative to Clubhouse. As
Spaces is now available to most users of the social network, Twitter is
finally expanding the feature to desktop and mobile web browsers.
Twitter confirmed in April this year that it was working on bringing Spaces
to web browsers, as the platform was only available on Twitter’s official
iOS and Android apps. Starting today, users will also be able to join Spaces
using a web browser, whether on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
According to the company, the feature is still considered beta, which means
that it has some limitations when compared to Spaces in the Twitter app.
Right now, the focus areas are infrastructure, user interface, scheduled
Spaces, and accessibility features.
End Article Fragment.

As I write this, I feel almost overwhelmed because I am finding it difficult
to introduce you to a new feature that is, at first glance, not intuitive or
VoiceOver accessible.  So what should I do?  I’ll try to express my thoughts
in a numbered list:

1.
Twitter is absolutely dedicated to making Spaces VoiceOver accessible.
While I am not at liberty to expand on this, please trust me when I say that
all Apple VoiceOver user feedback is being considered on a daily basis.
This is truly one of the most exciting moments for us, as VoiceOver users in
terms of having Twitter’s full attention.  So, please try the new feature
and send feedback to Twitter.

2.
For those who may not know, in its simplest form, a live audio chat feature
means that anyone can open a audio channel, and talk about anything and,
while the chat is live, others can listen-in and join the conversation.  For
example, if I just wanted to express myself, on Twitter, using my voice, I
could open a Space, type in a brief description of the subject, and begin
talking.  As my audio streams, others on Twitter will be alerted to the fact
that there is a live Space, currently active, and they could listen in and
ask me for permission to speak.  Just a few minutes ago, I opened the Spaces
tab in my Twitter app, and discovered that one live Space has people
discussing how to get money back from friends who do not want to repay the
loan.  Another Space is discussing the best Elvis Presley performances of
all time.  Yet another space is talking about the best episodes of Start
Trek.  I see one, right now, talking about the Crimean war.

3.
Currently, the Twitter Spaces full-feature set is Available for iOS, only;
not iPad OS.

4.
In the Twitter app, select the Spaces tab.  VoiceOver users must use the
swiping gesture in order to scroll down the list of live Spaces.

5.
As you swipe through the list, you will hear VoiceOver say, Button” several
times.  You will also hear, “Posted by”.  Listen for the posted by phrase
because immediately following that will be a description of the Space.
Understand that Twitter has no control over how someone writes their
description so if they cannot spell correctly or use a bad description, that
will be reflected in VoiceOver’s output.

6.
Entering a Space is easy and launching your own live Space is easy, also.  I
suggest that you search the web for the various features of Spaces for more
detail.

7.
Twitter Spaces is free for both listening and hosting.

8.
Twitter Spaces can be scheduled for future broadcasts.

9.
Twitter Spaces can be recorded so that people can listen at a later time.

10.
Any Twitter user can host a Space.

11.
I intend to host a great number of Spaces in which we can discuss
technology, screen readers, Braille, etc.

12.
My twitter handle is @MarkMarcus.  If you want to be alerted when I host a
Space, follow me on Twitter.  Also, if you have more questions about this
new feature, you are welcome to send me a direct message on Twitter.

13.
A great deal of companies are beginning to host lives spaces so I think this
feature is here to stay.

14.
Finally, I know that this is a great deal of information to assimilate but
it is so important, to me, that we, as blind and low vision members of
society, make our voices heard in this new forum that is expanding across
the globe.

If I have mistakenly represented a feature of Twitter Spaces, please reply,
on-list, with the correct information so that we may all benefit from the
updated info.

I look so very forward to seeing / hearing, (big smile), all of you on
Twitter Spaces, soon.

Mark
