(in case you guys here haven't seen 'em yet)



Here's a video of Panther's Exposé feature on a dual G5, taken with Snapz Pro X 2.0:

Here's another video taken with Snapz Pro X 2.0, of Panther's Exposé feature, but in slow motion. This was recorded on an older dual 1ghz G4:

...and finally, a third Snapz Pro X 2.0 video, this time of using drag-and-drop with Exposé:

Here's a pretty cool video I recorded today showing Panther's "Fast User Switching" capabilities. The framerate of the movie is 30fps, compressed with MPEG4 (medium quality), and scaled down 50%.

    I don't know what's nicer: expose and fast user switching or Snapz Pro 2!

    Because I thought some people might be interested in viewing these videos of Panther - not everyone has Panther yet, and the screenshots just don't do it justice.



    Sorry if you are bothered by it.

    I loved them and I even have Panther. Not only that, the music gets big props. OK, I'm not a fan of Bono, but the Terrapin & Echoes get a thums up.

    Of course not! I was just curious, becuase I know that there's already a lot of Panther footage in Apple's video.



    Eugene: Snapz Pro is 133t like nothing else.

    Thanks -- but the first song is actually Jane's Addiction ("Just Because") -- agreed re: Floyd and the Dead.

    Did you have persmission from the record label/artist to use that copyrighted music in these videos promoting Snapz Pro?



    If you didn't, only can god help you (from the RIAA).

    And here's a fairly modest demo on an ancient dual 500 G4.



    Yeah, yeah, no sound. I didn't want to disturb my sleeping roommate.



    I Panther.

    Geesh, be quiet! Even though I do have Panther I don't use the "Fast User Switching" feature since I am the only user on my computer. It was nice to see another video of the action. Thanks for the videos fellow Rochesterian.

    Wow! A U2 cover of Just Because would be interesting.



    Sorry for the digression, nice movies.

    Yeah. I just unplugged my second monitor, and still no cube effect. No big deal though. It's not something I really need anyway. Curious as to why it doesnt work though.

    Hi!



    I registered here just to say WOW and thanks Moki for posting those amazing videos of Expose! I think Apple just created the justification for shipping a multi-button mouse with all Macs! Expose can too easily be dismissed as eye-candy by Windows bigots who think that Alt-Tab works fine, too. They have NO IDEA how Expose can improve your workflow.



    Thanks again!

    You wouldn't have a different display resolution for the two users, would you? That'll do it.
