Hi,
For many years I managed most things necessary on a PC but hated it. Very fortuitously I got a Mac and absolutely adore it. I find it actually is intuitive (if that includes me it might not be a good thing fro Apple!!).
Anyway, for an interest that is not for work (but could be tied back in loosely in the future), I want to be able to create and edit presentations that would be made available via websites and intranet. Slides, photos, video. They would definitely be made available via Google and all its spawn, and in a Google Drive/as a resource for a hangout.
Life is too short for me to learn something absolutely brilliant but that will befuddle me (I've only had a smart phone for 3 years and I had to be dragged kicking etc.). Could kindly souls with a bit more knowledge suggest some possible programs that will not bankrupt Soros? I will need to use Vector rather than Raster for some things and tie it in to widely available outlets (i.e. nothing really niche but I don't know exactly what yet).
I am not trying to take on Hollywood CGI but would like a basically competent multi-media presentation with the ability to bung a bit of music in so it does not look too Heath Robinson-ish.
If relevant I have a Canon camera that quality wise appears to be well ahead of what I want to do (18+Mega pixels) and that does video and sound quite well for amateur type things.
Many thanks in advance,
GH
