New Courses 40% Off Sale Ends Tomorrow

Last week I announced that I have three new mini courses: Photos, Automator and Final Cut Pro. These are all 10-lesson mini courses on subjects that people have been asking me to cover. Mini courses won't take up as much of your time as my regular longer courses, and come in at half the price.

There is a special coupon to celebrate the launch of these three courses that expires at the end of the day tomorrow. Until then, use the code pistachio to get 40% off the regular price for these courses! The courses are usually $19.95 USD each, but with this code you'll get them for $11.97 USD each.

When you buy a course at the MacMost Courses site, you can take as long as you like to view the lessons and return to watch them as often as you like.

The new courses are listed on the right side of the main home page for the Courses site. Click on any one to read more about it, view a table of contents, and watch a sample lesson if you like. The code "pistachio" takes 40% off the price for each of these three courses when you get to the Cart page. Remember to check that it is applied to the "Total" price before you check out.

How To Add Text-To-Speech Voiceovers To Videos

If you'd rather not use your own voice to narrate a video, you can use a Mac-generated synthesized voice instead. The best way to do it is to use a simple Terminal command to create the audio file and then bring that into iMovie.

Mac Basics: The Mac App Store

The Mac App Store is the primary way to add Apple and third-party apps to your Mac. Some apps are free and others you need to pay for, sometimes with in-app purchases or subscriptions. There are many good reasons to prefer using the App Store instead of download apps from websites.

Using Photos Memories On Your Mac

Your Photos app on your Mac will occasionally suggest groups of photos to view as Memories. You can view the photos in the Memory, or watch it as a slideshow. You can also save Memories and let Photos know if you'd like to see fewer memories like the one you are viewing.
