The MacMost Newsletter: Issue #669
October 28, 2021
Monterey is finally here, and so is my new course! For a limited time I'm offering it with a 40% off coupon to newsletter subscribers!

Learn the ins and outs of using macOS Monterey, the latest operating system for your Mac. This course includes 75 video tutorials and more than 7 hours of video instruction. It begins by showing you the basics of the desktop and then goes into detail about using the Finder, Safari, Mail, TextEdit, Preview and other basic apps. This course includes lots of tips, tricks and techniques.

The course is available at both the MacMost Courses website, and at Udemy. Same course, same videos, same discount. The price depends on your local currency, but as an example in the US the regular price is $49.95 and the 40% coupons bring that down to $29.97. The coupons are good until November 5.

You can also click on either link to go to the sites and read more about the courses, view a table of contents, and even watch a few sample lesson videos. Whichever you choose, you can take as long as you like to start and complete the course. You can jump around to view the videos in any order and go back at any time.

You can use Apple Motion to create motion graphics that react to audio. In this example I'll show you how to have a circle scale to the beat, a visual equalizer effect, and a waveform effect. You can take these and export them to use in iMovie and other video editors.
