![]() Introduced in version 10.0.1, Roles can be assigned to clips as an alternate way of creating organizational functionality. Roles: In order to separate and organize different audio types on the magnetic timeline, editors can designate what "role' each clip plays.The magnetic connections are also user-definable. By default, clips move around each other "magnetically", filling in any gaps and avoiding clip collisions by automatically bumping clips out of the way vertically. Magnetic timeline: Inventing an alternative to track-based timelines found in traditional NLEs, Final Cut's magnetic timeline uses clip connections to keep connected clips and secondary storylines in sync with clips located on the primary storyline. ![]() Keyword ranges, favorite and rejected ranges, and smart collections allow for faster sorting of a large number of clips. Event browser: Replacing “bins” in other NLEs, the event browser is where the original media is found and can be searched and sorted by various forms of metadata.Apple maintains the APIs and documentation for everyone to develop such plug-ins. The functionality of Final Cut Pro can be extended with plug-ins which may provide additional effects, titles, transitions, and more. It also has multiple color-correction tools including color wheels, sliders and curves, video scopes and a selection of generators, such as slugs, test cards, and noise. It comes with a range of video transitions and a range of video and audio filters such as keying tools, mattes and vocal de-poppers and de-essers. It supports a number of simultaneously composited video tracks (limited mainly by video form capability) unlimited audio tracks multi-camera editing for combining video from multiple camera sources (referred to as angles) 360º video editing support as well as the standard ripple, roll, slip, slide, scrub, razor blade and time remapping edit functions. Features įinal Cut Pro provides non-linear, non-destructive editing of any QuickTime-compatible video format including DV, HDV, P2 MXF (DVCProHD), XDCAM (via plug-in), 2K, 4K, 5K, and 8K film formats and can import projects directly from iMovie for iOS and iPadOS. Final Cut Pro for iPad was made available on May 23, 2023. In 2011, Final Cut Pro 7 was replaced with the fully rewritten Final Cut Pro X, which initially lacked many features from previous versions, though frequent updates have brought back many of these features. A published survey in 2008 by the American Cinema Editors Guild placed their users at 21% Final Cut Pro (and growing from previous surveys of this group), while all others were on an Avid system of some kind. ![]() According to a 2007 SCRI study, Final Cut Pro made up 49% of the United States professional editing market, with Avid at 22%. It also made inroads with film and television editors who have traditionally used Avid Media Composer. In the 2000s, Final Cut Pro developed a large and expanding user base, mainly video hobbyists and independent filmmakers. Final Cut Pro allows users to import, edit, and process video footage, and output it to a wide variety of formats. Final Cut Pro (often abbreviated FCP or FCPX) is a professional non-linear video-editing application initially developed by Macromedia, and, since 1998, by Apple as part of its pro apps collection. ![]()

![]() ![]() The clippings discharge from the side, although you can purchase a bagger or mulching kit separately if desired. Setting the cutting height, which ranges from 1.5 inches to 4.5 inches, is easily accomplished with a single lever, and with four blades, this mower easily handled wet grass, thick grass, and tall grass, leaving our lawn looking great. Ryobi claims that you can mow up to 3 acres on a single full charge. In our testing sessions, the batteries still had plenty of charge left once mowing was finished. This mower comes with four batteries: two 80-volt, 10-amp hour and two 40-volt, 12-amp hour batteries, which can all be charged simultaneously. The mower also has an LCD screen that shows battery life and runtime. Not only was this fun, but it was also very intuitive and easy to use. Unlike many other riding mowers, which have levers, pedals, or steering wheels to control the motion of the machine, this one has Ryobi's iDrive joystick, which lets you set your speed in forward or reverse, as well as turn and maneuver the mower. Despite this unfortunate start to our testing sessions, we were very impressed with the manufacturer's customer service, and we loved the performance of this zero-turn mower, which has a 42-inch deck and power that Ryobi claims is equivalent to 31 horsepower. However, we were quickly provided a new mower, which was already assembled and ready to go. While it was fairly straightforward and quick to assemble the mower and give the batteries an initial charge, it turned out that our first test mower had an electrical problem that required several phone calls and a technician's visit before determining that the mower was defective. We first tested this model for several weeks on a half-acre property in Iowa. Although it is expensive compared to some of the other models on this list, we think it's well worth the cost if it's in your budget. Previously our Best Battery Zero-Turn pick, after three months of testing, the Ryobi Brushless 42-Inch Electric Zero Turn Riding Mower has moved into our top spot thanks to its consistent performance, quiet operation, and ease of use. Initially received a defective mower, although customer service was excellent We also reported back after three months of testing to share how well the riding lawn mowers held up during different types of weather and grass conditions, as well as during regular use. We considered how well the mowers maneuvered around obstacles, the range of accessories available for separate purchase, and the overall value of each mower before compiling our final list of winners. and of course, how well the mower cut the grass. During each session, the mowers were evaluated for ease of operation, comfort while riding, intuitiveness of the controls, battery runtime where applicable. We've tested over a dozen lawn mowers in our own lawns across the country including six riding lawn mowers, using each for three separate mowing sessions. Riding mowers have the power, agility, and versatility to handle it all with ease." Plus, with options like zero-turn technology, you'll be able to trim around obstacles and corners like a pro. Noah James, professional landscaper and owner of Liberty Lawn Maintenance, adds, "A riding mower gives you the precision you need to make straight lines and even cuts. Most ride-on mowers can also be used for other chores around the yard to improve efficiency, such as pulling a trailer or aerator." Marc Mayer, Director of Technical Operations at TruGreen, says, "Commonly, homeowners choose a riding lawn mower to save time and/or energy if they have a large lawn area that is too much work to utilize a walk-behind mower. Instead of sweating behind a push mower, you'll ride in comfort while keeping your lawn in tip-top shape. ![]() ![]() The Spruce Home Improvement Review Boardįor lawns that are an acre or more, a riding lawn mower can make turf maintenance less of a chore. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() I have a magazine cover for Wonderland and you can see the cuts on my arm. And it was definitely the most fulfilling thing that I've sort of ever shot. It was incredibly grueling, but it was so worthwhile and I definitely couldn't have done it without Eric and Sam kind of walking me through it and helping me out. So it was almost like this massive letting go of everything over the eight months that we filmed. I was just wrapping the show around that time. It was really, really gnarly, but it came at the end of my shooting period. And Eric and I, we're incredibly close, so I basically said to him, "Let's rock and roll and make it sort of as real as possible," because I think it's super important and he was on board as well. Jacob Elordi (born 26 June 1997) is an Australian actor. And then when we give each other the head nod, it kind of means that we're just going to go for it when the camera rolls. It was physically grueling, but Sam and I kind of have this head nod when there's an intense scene and the stunt guys would kind of lay it out for us. Jacob Elordi knows exactly how patiently you’ve been waiting for more Euphoria content and he’s got a gift that fans can unwrap right now. ![]() ![]() ![]() In an announcement that surprised no one, Apple has scheduled a special event for 12 September 2018. ![]() Adam EngstĪpple Expected to Announce New iPhones and Apple Watch on September 12th Notable Mac app releases this week include macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 Supplemental Update 2 for MacBook Pro (2018), Bus圜al 3.4.1, SpamSieve 2.9.32, 1Password 7.1.1, Panorama X 10.1.1, and Airfoil 5.8.2. Also in this issue, Josh Centers looks at how the Movies Anywhere service lets you shop around for the best deal on digital movies, and Julio Ojeda-Zapata reviews the Arlo Baby Cam, which promises HomeKit compatibility in a security camera. The company also released a firmware update to the AirPort Express base station to give it AirPlay 2 capabilities. Get ready for the latest and greatest! Apple has scheduled a special event for September 12th, undoubtedly to reveal new iPhones and a ship date for iOS 12. #1432: New iPhone and iOS 12 announcement, AirPort Express gets AirPlay 2, cheaper digital movies, Arlo Baby Cam review #1668: Updated Rapid Security Responses, OS public betas, screen saver bug fixed, “Red Team Blues” book review.#1669: OS security updates, ambiguity of emoji, small business payments with Melio, Twitter now X.#1670: Arc Web browser hits 1.0 release, “Do You Use It?” polls about Apple features.#1671: Apple Q3 2023 earnings, new Beats headphones and earbuds, Stage Manager adoption rate, do you use Spotlight?.1672: The hidden power of Google Sheets, Launchpad usage levels, Emergency SOS via satellite in the Maui fires, do you use proxy icons?.And after just a couple of days of use, it’s nearly transparent to the user. (To work with the program’s address lists and rules or its corpus-the collection of words the Bayesian filter uses to identify spam-you will need to switch to the SpamSieve application.) SpamSieve is easily trained, and if you want to go beyond the basics and configure your own filters or edit your black- and whitelists, it allows you to do so without a lot of bother. ![]() I like the fact that SpamSieve mostly works within my e-mail client so I rarely need to muck with a separate application or risk losing e-mail in transit between a spam utility and my e-mail software. It also supports both POP and IMAP e-mail accounts. If you’ve got a few hundred spam and good messages archived in your e-mail client, this helps SpamSieve become acceptably accurate within a matter of minutes rather than the days it can take to train other programs. Unlike other spam utilities I’ve used, SpamSieve lets you train it with groups of selected spam and good e-mail. SpamSieve looks for this header entry and gives messages that include it favorable treatment. Members of the Habeas Safelist can then embed their membership in the headers of e-mail messages they send. This is a service that requires members to pass a rigorous audit of “best practices” to ensure that their services aren’t used for spamming. ![]() SpamSieve employs a form of Bayesian filtering and can use the Habeas Safelist. You can add, subtract, and edit entries in these lists as well as create rules within them. Entries in your Mail, Eudora, or Entourage address book are automatically entered in the whitelist, as are the contacts for mail you accept. It has a blacklist (called a blocklist in the program) as well as a whitelist-mark a message as spam and the sender is sent to the blocklist. Like other spam utilities, SpamSieve uses a variety of techniques for sorting the good mail from bad. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thankfully, Mint will let you know how much, on average, you’re spending in certain categories.

The pawn can become a Queen, Bishop, Rook, or Knight. The Pawn also has a special move called "En Passant", which you can read about in special moves section below.īut what happens when a pawn reaches the other side? If the Pawn reaches the opposite side of the chessboard, it has the unique ability to promote to another piece. To capture, the Pawn moves diagonally one space (see the diagram). However, they are also the only piece that captures in a method different from how they move. After this move, they can only move one space forward. The Pawn first move rules state each pawn has the option to move forward one space or two spaces. There are several unique attributes and Pawn moves in chess. If the obstructing piece belong to their opponent, they are free to capture it.Įach player has eight Pawns, providing the first line of defense for their King. These pieces move up and down the rank and file of the chessboard, and can move any number of spaces as long as they are not obstructed by another piece (see the diagram). There are two Rooks for each player on the chessboard, situated on the corners, next to the Knight. If they land on an opposing piece, it is captured.Ĭhessmen: The Rook (Also known as the Castle) They move in an "L" shape (see the diagram). The Knight has the unique trait of being able to 'leap' over other pieces. There are two Knights for each player on the chessboard, situated between the Bishop and the Rook. Of course, if that obstruction is an opposing piece, they are free to capture it! They can move any number of spaces on the diagonals as long as they are not obstructed by another piece(see the diagram). ![]() One Bishop starts on a white square, and one starts on a black square. You can see that this means that the Bishop is bound to the color square it starts on. These pieces move along the diagonals of the chessboard. There are two Bishops for each player on the chessboard, situated next to Queen and the King, respectively. However, she is not limited to just one space - she can move any number of spaces in any direction, as long as she is not obstructed by another piece (see the diagram) Of course, if that obstruction is an opposing piece, she is free to capture it! Like the King, the Queen can move in any direction. The game is not over when she is lost, but if your opponent has a Queen and you do not, you may find yourself at a considerable disadvantage! She is placed next to the king, on her own color. The Queen is often considered the most powerful piece on the chessboard. "Castling" is described in the special moves section below. This means the king can never be in the space adjacent to the opposing King. He can never move in to "check" (where he is threatened by another piece). The King in chess can move one space in any direction (see the diagram). If he is checkmated (see objectives, below) the game is over! The King is the most important piece on the chessboard. ![]() Chess rules are surprisingly easy to learn, yet can take a lifetime of hard work to master!

![]() There are four entrance points to Skyline Drive located at US 340 near I-66 in Front Royal, US 211 in Thornton Gap, US 33 in Swift Run Gap and US 250 near I-64 in Rockfish Gap. Skyline Drive takes a winding north–south path along the mountaintops of the Blue Ridge Mountains east of the Shenandoah River from Front Royal to Rockfish Gap, serving as the only public road through Shenandoah National Park. Skyline Drive was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, became a National Scenic Byway in 2005, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2008. Improvements have been made to the roadway since it was built. The Civilian Conservation Corps played a large part in constructing Skyline Drive. The road between Jarman Gap and Rockfish Gap was built as part of the Blue Ridge Parkway in 1939 and was incorporated into Skyline Drive in 1961. Skyline Drive was extended north to Front Royal in 1936 and south to Jarman Gap in 1939. The first section, which originally was to run from Rapidan Camp to Skyland, was extended between Swift Run Gap and Thornton Gap and opened in 1934. ![]() Groundbreaking for Skyline Drive took place in 1931. President Herbert Hoover, who had a summer home at Rapidan Camp, called for the construction of the road. ![]() Plans for the road date back to 1924 when a national park was planned in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and the main feature was to be a "sky-line drive" providing views of the surrounding land. The scenic drive is particularly popular in the fall for leaf peeping when the leaves are changing colors. Skyline Drive is the main road through Shenandoah National Park and has access to campgrounds, visitor centers, and resorts such as Skyland Resort and Big Meadows. The drive provides access to numerous trails, including the Appalachian Trail, and it is also used for cycling and horseback riding. Skyline Drive is a two-lane road that has 75 overlooks providing views of the Shenandoah Valley to the west and the Piedmont to the east. Skyline Drive is part of Virginia State Route 48, which also includes the Virginia portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway, but this designation is not signed.Ī park entrance fee is charged at the four access points to the drive. The road has intermediate interchanges with US 211 in Thornton Gap and US 33 in Swift Run Gap. Route 340 (US 340) near Front Royal, and the southern terminus is at an interchange with US 250 near Interstate 64 (I-64) in Rockfish Gap, where the road continues south as the Blue Ridge Parkway. ![]() The drive's northern terminus is at an intersection with U.S. Skyline Drive is a 105-mile (169 km) National Parkway that runs the entire length of the National Park Service's Shenandoah National Park in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, generally along the ridge of the mountains.
