Quality over Features and Parallels on Mac
Quality of Features: As a longtime Storyline user, hearing about the new direction of Articulate to focus on quality over features is great news. Teaching hundreds of new Storyline users every year...
@Phil - I was running main projects on the PC while testing Parallels. It seems stable now, but Storyline has a new set of quirky behaviors. I have older BenQ monitors that are not T3 or support DCI-P3 on the Mac M2 Pro Max. Fine for Storyline, but other graphics and video work is not as optimal as I'd prefer. I keep a PC running and up-to-date as a backup and move everything in and out of Dropbox.
@David - I looked into running my PC through a switch or as a remote desktop.
I upgraded my hub to the CalDigit TS4 to manage peripherals. My new problem is the new Mac architecture is not communicating with older USB devices, and it will not write to all my existing external hard drives the way they are formatted currently. I can read but not write to them so I am using 100% cloud storage at the moment. Probably invest in a new SSD soon.
Back to Parallels and Storyline. Aside from a few quirky behaviors, it seems quite stable. I just completed a live online workshop over the past two weeks and zero issues streaming live.
