Two short sections this week, as it’s time for a mini montage show.   PinPoint First up is a great new utility from Lagente Software - PinPoint. This is actually a promo video I did for them a few weeks ago but I was impressed with the application so I thought I’d run it in the show. I’ve been experimenting for a while using different techniques to make the standard mouse cursor more visible in the screencasts I create. The small black mouse pointer can be hard to follow, especially if you’re visually impaired. Until finding PinPoint, the solution I used was to create a custom cursor and replace the standard cursor in post production within ScreenFlow. Not difficult, but fiddly and a bit of a time sink. With PinPoint, I can replace my pointer and use it for live recording. It includes a number of different animated pointers and you can even create your own. The application also includes the ability to echo your keystrokes to the screen too. making it perfect for live demos and presentations. Upgrading your MobileMe Calendar Consider this a public information message! Apple have significantly upgraded the Calendar in MobileMe and urging everyone to make some changes to their setup by 5th May 2011. If you don’t, you may find your Macs and iOS devices stop syncing Calendar data after that date. Luckily, the upgrade is fairly painless although there are some extra steps required if you’re a BusyCal user. This section takes you through the upgrade process step by step and discusses some of the new Calendar features.
