This is useful if you want to run them during the night, or at other times when you're not using your Mac for other things. You can now set your video conversions to start at a specific time and date, or after a countdown set in hours and minutes. Scheduled conversions make their Toast debut. Rival app Handbrake, encoding using its iPhone 4 preset, took 11 minutes, eight seconds.
#TOAST TITANIUM UPGRADE MOVIE#
If you have one plugged in, it takes precedence over VideoBoost.Ĭonverting MacFormat's five-minute sample movie to best-quality iPhone 4 video on a 2.0GHz iMac (not CUDA) took Toast 11 six minutes, 36 seconds, but with Turbo.264, it managed it in three minutes, 34 seconds. Toast is still compatible with Elgato's Turbo.264 USB hardware accelerator too. If you have a Mac with CUDA-compatible Nvidia graphics (most recent Nvidia cards support this), a feature called VideoBoost speeds up your H.264 conversions. The media browser now integrates with Adobe Lightroom as well as iPhoto and Aperture, and outside the browser, you can just drag and drop a file into the main Toast window. You can make changes to preset profiles and save them as custom settings. Alternatively, you can save it out in a specific file format such as H.264, MPEG-4, WMV, MKV and more. There are presets to convert footage for Apple TV, Video iPod, iOS devices, most popular games consoles and non-Apple mobile devices such as the BlackBerry or Palm Pre.
#TOAST TITANIUM UPGRADE INSTALL#
Unless you skipped last year’s 64-bit compatibility upgrade and plan to install macOS Catalina soon, save your money and see what the next upgrade brings.Toast's video conversion feature now supports a wider range of playback devices than ever before. While keeping the disc burning torch lit for so long after Apple ejected optical drives from the Mac is admirable, we can’t help but feel Roxio Toast 18 is a cash grab release.
(Presumably this will be addressed in a future update.) Bottom line
That means disc images won’t open within Toast 17 or 18 when running macOS Catalina, but the situation isn’t as dire as it sounds, since they can still be mounted from the Finder for the time being. The user interface isn’t particularly intuitive and worse yet, HEIF images aren’t supported, so recent iPhone images can’t be imported without first saving as JPEG files.Īlthough the core Toast Titanium app is 64-bit, the built-in ToastImageMounter component remains 32-bit at this writing. The app is super basic-import an existing photo, then step through a variety of different screens where you add different looks and styles, eventually transforming each picture into a work of art. Included in both versions of Toast 18, Akrilic feels more than a little like an aborted smartphone app ported to macOS. The new kid on the block, Roxio Akrilic, transforms photos into art, but that’s nowhere near enough to justify a paid upgrade to Toast 18. It’s a curious addition, because at first glance the software appears to duplicate functionality found elsewhere in the bundle-specifically Painter Essentials, owned by parent company Corel.
#TOAST TITANIUM UPGRADE PRO#
Sadly, Roxio has chosen to remove excellent slideshow app Boinx FotoMagico from the Toast 18 Pro lineup in favor of a new digital art tool called Akrilic.
