I've been using a Mac for almost an year now and had no idea that some of these features exist. This video literally saved me tons of struggles! So good and useful! Thank you, Iskren!

[iVideo]

Wow, I am blown away by the quality of your videos. As someone switching back to Mac for the first time in 12 years, these tutorials are pure gold! Thank you!! Going to binge watch many of yours now 🙂

Браво, страхотно видео! За човек, който от много време ползва уиндоус, имаше бая интересни неща! Радвам се, че има българи, които създават съдържание от най-висок клас. Успех!

[hizamshahrusmi]

Love how you put all these in under 15mins, awesome presentation. no bs & straight to the points!

I use an app called IntelliDock which hides the dock on mac when you put an app window over it and it and leaves the dock visible when nothing overlaps it. It's quite useful for getting some extra screen real estate.

Accidentally stumbled upon this video, and ended up saving it (for my mac coming in 2 weeks), subscribing to your newsletter and following all social! Great content.

[aabidfaiyaz]

This hands down one of the best no no bs Mac video

I literally just got my MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro today - and this video immediately popped up when I opened YouTube. Lifesaver! I am also a brand new mac owner, never used one in my life so literally just learning everything. The firewall being disabled by default, that's crazy and not something I am used to, so thanks so much for that atleast!

Edit: Just earned yourself a brand new subscriber good sir.

Why I get irritated ?
You are the most underrated channel with worth so much of appreciation for your works behind each and every clip
Good luck for great reach
Love from India

Using a Mac has always been a struggle for me... I bought a MacBook Pro 2019, base version, back in 2020 and I've barely used it because it was just a terrible experience... My PC's been giving me blue screens and Premiere now crashes from opening a new sequence so i had no choice but to order an M1 Ultra Mac Studio, but Bulgaria, I'm expecting it to arrive in 3 months (around September)... I'm so freaking scared of switching to Mac as my main machine but this video definitely made the fear a bit lighter! Thanks for the amazing tools and settings you showed in this video! I checked most boxes from it on my MacBook and, fingers crossed, it'll feel better the next time I travel!

[davidbillberg]

Thanks for all these tips and apps! I downloaded Monitor Control because I bought a new LG 27UP850-W that doesn't support changing brightness and sound per default using the keyboard shortcuts. Now it does!!!

[Dbabii]

You are an absolute legend at explaing these things! EXCELLENCE👌

[MrAprrc]

If you are trying to get away from lightroom I highly recommend Capture One, way more powerful than Lightroom as you can pay once per version if you wish instead of a subscription. Also has integration with helicon focus

[ReggieT]

My new 14 inch just shipped! I'll definitely reference this video when it gets here in a week. It's my first Mac since 2007.

[brendakennedy]

So helpful! New to Mac. Love the quick to the point instructions!!

[mark-]

11:55 like the way you show the video editing UI in sync with the video

[markhamilton]

This is an extremely useful video, packed full of great recommendations. Thanks so much!

[cristibaluta]

About the dock, i like to add an empty separator between groups of related apps

[Mishmilev]

Thank you for the recommendations… you cannot imagine how you improved my efficiency!

[vivekbhimavarapu]

This video is one stop for all the initial setup guide for new mac users like me. You just earned a sub.
