I didn't know you could do photo, movie or music editing in Safari, iChat and Adium... :p

I'm no power user, so mine would be:

iTunes (if encoding, ripping, etc. is considered editing...)
iPhoto
iMovie
Sound Studio
Jam

and for ripping, encoding, etc. of videos:

Mac The Ripper
Handbrake
DVD2OneX
(and then Toast to finish things off!) :cool:

Quicksilver !!! !!! !!! - iTunes integration and hotkeys is sweeeet...
Remote Desktop (for working on my PC when I absolutely *have* to)
Clutter
Azureus
VLC *or* MPlayer OSX 2 (some vids work better in one than the other)

There are many A/V editing tools, and many of them have purposes for different content or applications. iMovie, iDVD, and Garage Band are very good consumer-level video editing tools, whereas Final Cut Pro, Motion, After Effects, Logic, Peak, Kontakt, Reason etc. are where you might look for pro-level stuff. Then there are specialized apps like Shake and Soundtrack.

EDIT: fixed lame spelling :)

Opps.. lol, should of read the main post.

Opps.. lol, should of read the main post.

No problem, I just like to have fun and be a bastard from time to time. ;)

[Ti_Poussin]

*Dragthing (I used to have drop drawer but it's to long to configure, but it's better IMO)
*Xcode
*Maple 9.5
*VLC
*SubethaEdit (great appz to write code with many people on the same code)

Few other appz I really like:
*Desktop Manager
*QuickSilver
*FFmpegX
*Poser 6
*Microsoft word (I'm really used to handle this appz, Page handling of font and style is way to unintuitive IMO)
*Keynote
*LiveType
*Toast
*iBackup
*Fink with fink Commander (some nasty Unix math appz out there!)
*iTunes

What I really miss:
*AutoCAD
*Catia
*A good MSN messager (AOL-AIM or whatever it is, here is totaly out, no one use that! so iChat is clearly useless, Jabber support for MSN is a total loss of time)
*Mail appz that work decently
*WMV & WMA player that work decently
*Quicktime support more codec natively, have to use VLC often or MPlayer (already have 21 in Quicktime plugin folder but still some video doesn't have sound or video, play badly, etc..)

Guys how can you edit with Mail, apart from text, or VLC player? or in fact adium??????

[rendezvouscp]

This is hilarious. People, even 6502's and above, don't read the main post before posting, let alone other posts. Craziness.

Editing, but not in any particular order:
1) QuickTime Pro
2) iMovie
3) PhotoShop
4) ImageReady
5) Taco HTML Edit

[.:*Robot Boy*:.]

1. Pro Tools TDM
2. Pro Tools LE
3. iTunes
4. Quicktime Pro
5. Sound Studio

I could get by without 4 and 5, I just put them in there to keep Logic Pro out :rolleyes: :p

Worst... DAW... UI... EVER!

Guys how can you edit with Mail, apart from text

it all depends on the definition of editing. sometimes editing is not touching to actual image files at all, only that you get a bunch of pictures and select few, then forward to another person for production.

though i can see the wit in your comment ;)
