- Tips (in order of usefulness)
- To build latex from terminal:
pdflatex root.tex - Proselint
- Exporting matlab figures to pdf while avoiding whitespace:: export as eps file, then do
epstopdf fig.eps fig.pdf - Auto photo enhancer - makes photos look decent
Videos
- HitFilm Express for making clips of multiple videos next to each other
- Screen recordings in Windows:
Windows+Gto use Game Bar - Clip videos with Quicktime
Presentations
- Always have slide numbers - allows people to easily refer to them during questions
- Alternatives: Keynote, reveal.js (HTML), Beamer (latex)
- keynote: it can copy/paste from pdfs in preview equations, figures etc
- Beamer is nice except embedding videos requires the use of Flash player inside Adobe Acrobat Reader, so may not be as portable as it seems.
