25 years devoted Mac. Still learning fun and useful tools. Also reminded of everything I forgot. You’re awesome. Thank you, MacVince

Hey Mr Vince. I am really grateful for your content. As a new Mac user you have helped me out a lot in understanding how the Mac works. I would love it if you would make a tutorial on how you make such amazing edits. They are honestly one of a kind. Have a good day. Thanks again.

Congratulations on getting the sponsor! Your editing style is most refreshing. It’s a treat to watch just for the edits 🎉

Another thumbs up. 😊

And I agree 100% about the Spotlight search feature - I deselected a bunch of defaults that I simply don’t need.

So glad I subscribed to this channel.

Saturday June 3rd was when SpaceX CRS-11 was launched by a Falcon 9 rocket with a shipment of food and supplies in a refurbished Dragon cargo capsule for the International Space Station. The mission reused a Dragon cargo vessel that was previously flown in a September 2014 mission.

the open with default app is such a huge tip! I hate when I download a track or sound effects and it opens in the music app!! Amazing video buddy!

[sebastienvansomeren]

Your content is amazing. I have been binge watching your videos recently. May I ask which video editing software you are using. I’m planning on starting a YouTube channel with a lot of screen recordings as well and I’d love to be able to do the animations you’re doing. Please enlighten me 😊
