Is LiveStage Professional Totally Hip?
We're going to turn our attention this time to a program that doesn't just enlist QuickTime as part of a larger interactive authoring solution, it makes QuickTime itself the entire interactive authoring solution, exporting fully interactive .mov files, ready for playback in the QuickTime player on Macintosh or Windows. The guilty party? Totally Hip's LiveStage Professional 4.
Performance benchmarks for the current G4 lineup
Everything about the current lineup of Macintosh G4s should make them at least mildly superior to the previous lineup of desktop G4s ... in theory, anyway. They have faster chips, dual processors all around, faster bus speeds and, of course, DDR memory. And those are only the obvious advantages. But does theory hold up to practice in the Mac universe? We tested the entire lineup of current G4s--from the dual 867 MHz G4 to the dual 1.25 GHz G4--against the previous generation and found some fascinating results.

Stained glass, blinds and windows
This week's download is a somewhat more utilitarian collection of shapes for Adobe Photoshop. The set consists of 52 custom path-based shapes for use with Photoshop 7 (only!) for Mac and Windows. The shapes include window panes; stained glass panes, frames and details; and variations on horizontal and vertical blinds for use in compositing.
Video encoding and interactive authoring suite for Macintosh
I'm going to do things a little bit backwards with our review of Discreet's brand, spankin' new Cleaner 6. This is owing to the unusual offer that Discreet is making with the Cleaner 6/Combustion 2 bundle through the end of the year. So before I get into our review of Cleaner 6 itself, I'm going to save you a little bit of time and make my recommendation right now: This is a Must Buy bundle. No question about it.
Dell's $2964 3.06 GHz P4 Trounces Fastest Mac on the Market
Dell has just introduced a new workstation featuring the latest Intel Pentium 4 3.06GHz processor with hyperthreading and faster PC1066 RDRAM. Accordingly, we decided it was time for another Mac vs. PC duel, created especially for digital video editors and compositors. So we got our hands on one of those new 3.06GHz Dell boxes and the fastest Mac on the market, fired up our trusty After Effects 5.5 and Photoshop 7.0 benchmarks on both of them, and man oh man, you won’t believe what happened this time. It was just downright startling.
