The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.7/6/20

I have loads of photos that I want to email to friends but I want to batch reduce the size so that I can easily email them. I can individually reduce the sizes with preview but this would take forever. Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve found a couple of open source apps for the Mac that support tweening as well as frame animation. They are free (good) and a little on the confusing side with so many options (bad). I’ve watched your video on iMovie animating of videos—resizing and moving to a ... (2 Comments)
