Thank you, very informative.

[DaMisterTester]

dont wanna waste time skip to 1:07

[yoshigish]

thanks, this helped me rename all the files i have, to use "_" because my server wouldn't FTP them because of their "spaces."

[videwoah]

Do you know how to save as a plug-in on Lion? It doesn't give the option for it

[sprout6246]

wow thx, im not even a techie and i understood perfectly well.

well done, thx!!

[charanga1]

That was cool :)

[Koagte]

Murry537 i have a problem, i think i don't have the loop tool, because i searched in the library tools and i have no results, what you think?

[xxxtman200100]

I am begging you lol,

how do you make the automator become an auto clicker?

[liamgreen94]

how would you change the icon of the app?

[chuckyfunk1]

awesome vid. easy to understand. well done.

[mrgnsms]

I followed your instructions several times and the workflow keeps hanging up at the filter step.

[BigBruiser76]

How do you use the automator just in general, for fun..

[spadastunter]

@BigBruiser76  learn

[hrag500]

Is there a way to stop while it is in progress? please answer fast

[nickTHHGTTG42]

Great Tutorial, easy to follow. I'll check out your other videos to see what else I don't know my Mac can do.

[bin09004]

Wow, thanks. That has helped me a lot in figuring out what automator can do, and how to use it. Before I was plain confused about how to use it. And it helps that you aren't a 13 year old talking about this stuff, as said by inkybinky786.

[eversuresh]

Wow!!! This is simply great!!!

[Chahay]

Mine doesnt have application menu

[FavoriteMusic0987654]

once you make a new app can you change the thumbnail of the new app from the normal automator picture to a different one that you would want?

[Iris421989]

great tutorial

[seanadb]

Great tutorial on Automator. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I used Automator as the video went along. Keep up the great work!

[g7895718]

2 and half years that I didnt take time to learn about automator... Would have probably saved me valuable time , thanx a lot very useful!

[Ralph41608]

This was a great video. after a year with my Macbook I finally know what automator can do. Thanks for the vid, I will subscribe.

[boogieman262]

Is there a button or some what that makes the step go on a infinite loop?

[Theliljz]

Ye all you have to do is control V/command V like 99999 times or watever times u want ;)

Or welkom Jz

[Archmasterdoomsday]

Before this, I used to wonder why the mac had automator. Thanks!

[OMGshinyobject]

this is great thanks for an informative and easy to follow video :)

[RoboHippo]

Maybe I will take a look at your "Sh-...Tech...Stuff". :P

[benthemiester]

cont...and if i have a computer thats only a month old with minimal percentage of hard drive space used, is it even worth a clean install approach from 10.5.8?

[iainirv]

Thanks for the vid, it really cleared up the use of automator for me.

[ProR4ang3r]

hi is there any way to make the automator repeat a step over and over.... i know i can copy and paste the step but i would like it to repeat thousands of times (when i start copying and pasting it lags like hell any ideas? ) thanks

[inkybinky786]

thank god its not some annoying 13 year old giving mac tips and advice

[murry537]

Nope, I'm an annoying 32 year old :)

[grim1327]

[nicktk1]

@murry537 witty!

[Miittle]

Yeah, adults may have more experience, but what can I say?

Kids have gotta start by somewhere, and if they want to help, why should anyone stop 'em?

[Archmasterdoomsday]

Is something wrong with 13 year olds?

[edwardholmes91]

@inkybinky786 Whats wrong with a 13 year old giving tips and advice?

[Danceallnightbabe]

@inkybinky786 oh gosh, I so agree

[frecklepicker]

hey how come whenever automator tries to click something it says watch me do error

[ProR4ang3r]

mine does that i had to use the virtual key board.....

[benjaminp5354]

smart

[queenelizabethIII]

great tutorial man but i don´t like the sound he constantly makes with his mouth

[rocketsguy101]

Just click the auto you make, then command+v then command + c... copies it.

[stickhrk]

goto love mac

[bmilsk99]

Thank you! Very much appreciated!

[kgrif0587]

right click is control click...

[bobasfatt]

You can set up the mouse to have a right click as well ;)

[wadziu]

Hey thats great, thanks for tutor

[vv41zx]

Cool

[JakeDavenportRI]

thanks. going through i didnt think it would be useful but it really was

[conielo]

1 min 10 seconds before you start talking about what I actually want to hear about.... good tutorial though.

[Raipesoto]

zoom out please!!!!

[Wroting]

can someone teach me how to auto click with the automator? need one for playing some games, and my finger gets tired of clicking

[skwerl23]

your finger gets tired of clicking? or you'd rather have it fight creatures so you don't have to work at high lvl's or gold? sinner.

[Jelly533]

lol runescape lol

[Z3RGLINGMAN]

where do i download?

[skwerl23]

Automator comes with mac

[lpfmfan]

grazie!

this helped a lot.

[rossel0203113]

thx man....

[orsobruco]

THUMBS UP!

[technologyftw]

thanks man

[bornkool]

Not bad, Now what about using automator with bigger programs like imovie to make all clips have the same color adjustment?

[murry537]

Not a bad idea, but I'm not planning on making anymore Automator videos.

[bobmedic3214]

@bornkool iMovie already does that for you. It gives you that option in the inspector.



[originaladrian]

thank you

[nefariou5]

Nice video, but this renames the entire file name not just the extension.

[niveceritt]

If your in Leopard set the last step to Extension only, or basename only if you dont want the extension renamed. Not sure how you'd do that in Tiger.

[YTMrVulcan]

Nice video, but the volume is very low.

[thefirecrackerband]

Nice tutorial! When numbering files.... how do I specify which ones come first? I tried by Date Created but it didn't work. It messed all up. Can I undo what I do? ;) Thanks!

[overkill54]

I'm not even new to mac, I just never knew what automator did, so thanks for doing this, great tut. Five Stars

[foxtowawak]

how to remove plugin with i save?

Help TX

[murry537]

Not sure. You should try google.

[racl101]

Ok, Mac OS X rules!

[Miltone92]

Great tutorial. 5 star xD

[jessieadair]

I'm a grandma whose a bit computer illiterate/phobic yet I had no trouble following and comprehending your fine tutorial. It feels really great to learn something useful that you didn't know a few minutes before. Thanks much for sharing your knowledge!

[jesseskraps]

Very useful, thanks!

[theneh10]

jamesnell: it would be case sensitive in the automator if originally formatted as such

[toastface5]

cool, thanks. Great video. You have just taught me a valuable use for Automator ;-) I didn't know what it did until a few seconds ago :P

Thanks again.

-Toastface5-

[jamessnell]

Great video, thanks...

For what it's worth, around 4:20 when you say that the finder filter is not case sensitive, I wonder if that'd only because by default apple formats volumes using the non-case sensitive HFS+ file system - hence I suspect if you were to format with the case sensitive one, that filter would be case sensitive. Anyone actually know if that is indeed the case?

Thanks again for the great video.

[murry537]

That's actually a great question, and I'm not sure. I've never tried it on both.

[tasteemom]

Wow! Thanks for posting! I have a new MAC and found Automator in my apps menu. I did not have a clue what it could be used for until your tutorial.
