I am typing this on the M1 Air. I had the Pro with a Touch Bar before. I don't miss the Touch Bar per se, but I did like the ability to customize it for my liking. I also liked scrubbing on video or music software. The escape key is back on all MacBooks now including Touch Bar. I guess I am still on the fence about the Touch Bar and its usability. I think apple envisioned more developer adoption and novelty.
- biztos 6y agoI really wanted to like the Touch Bar for scrubbing, but then I hooked up the external monitor and the Bluetooth magic keyboard and... To this day I can not figure out why Apple doesn’t sell an external Touch Bar of some kind, for use by the actual professional video editors out there.
- thebigspacefuck 6y agoHave you tried a trackball?
- biztos 6y agoNot recently. Is that commonly used for video? To be clear, I’m an amateur at video and I do know there are lots of dedicated tools from scrubber dials to keyboards. The part I can’t figure out is why Apple has this “pro” tech for which the most obvious and most hyped use-case is video editing, but they don’t sell any version of it a professional video editor could actually use.
- thebigspacefuck 6y agoSupposedly they are. I don't do any video editing, but it's something that came up a lot when I was looking at trackballs. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/video/hands-review/how-kensington-trackballs-enhance-video-editing-workflows https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/video/hands-review/how-...
