Understanding iCloud Drive and the Optimize Mac Storage Option (#1627)

written by applenws



https://macmost.com/e-1627 When you use iCloud Drive, your files are stored on your Mac, Apple’s iCloud Drive server, and also any other Macs using iCloud Drive with your Apple ID. When you save or modify a new file, it is automatically mirrored on the server and your other Macs. If you wish to save storage space on a Mac, you can turn on the Optimize Mac Storage option to have some files automatically offloaded from that Mac, even though they will still be represented by an icon and can be reloaded by simply attempting to access the file.

Rotating Video Any Amount (#1624)

written by applenws



https://macmost.com/e-1624 If you need to rotate video a small amount to correct a camera tilt or create a special effect, you can’t do it with iMovie or QuickTime Player. However, you can use Keynote to rotate video. This involves a small Keynote project with just the video, plus a rotation, and then an export. You need to make adjustments to avoid leaving blank corners.
