test trial software / shareware for mac

Test Gear provides motion graphics artists and video editors with a variety of test instruments to make objective measurements of their visual and audio work, all from within Adobe After Effects.
Test instruments include waveform monitor, vectorscope, histogram, image slice display, and audio tools.
While the final measurement of any project is what it looks and sounds like, getting there has previously relied strictly on subjective viewing. Test Gears objective measurement tools make it easy to check video levels and color balance, choose colors, view channel values in detail, and view digital audio, all within After Effects and without the need to apply effects just to make a measurement.
Waveform Monitor and Vectorscope
Test Gear provides standard waveform monitor and vectorscope displays so that your work can be analyzed in the traditional manner without expensive outboard equipment.
The waveform monitor can be formatted to show an entire frame or two fields. Options also include luma, luma plus chroma, parade, and RGB style displays. The display can be calibrated in IRE units or millivolts, as you prefer.
Histograms
No longer do you need to apply an effect just to see a histogram display; Test Gears histograms are always available. View red, green, blue, and luma histograms at the same time, or select an individual channel for greater detail. You can also zoom in and out to see the full range of data.
In addition to the graphical histogram display, Test Gear also displays the minimum, maximum, peak and mean values in numerical form. The mean is also graphically represented, so you can quickly spot overall color casts.
Color Picker
Choose colors using Test Gears color picker window using RGB, HLS, HSB, web-color, and grayscale pickers. Colors that would exceed video broadcast limits are flagged and can be legalized with a single click.
Color Swatch Books
Color swatch books keep collections of related colors always available for use in After Effects. Use one of the built-in swatch books, or create your own, keeping handy all the colors youve previously chosen.
Image Slice Display
Test Gears image slice display lets you define an arbitrary slice through the image data and examine the red, green, blue, luma, and alpha levels up close. Far more revealing than a point-sampling tool, its ideal for checking edge values when pulling mattes from blue- and greenscreen material. You can also use it for examining color subsampling issues, edge sharpness, and other levels changes that are difficult to visualize with any other tool. Examine all channels at once, or view each channel individually.
Audio Waveform Display
Test Gears audio waveform display makes it easy to see your audio and check levels and spot cues. Optional level warnings flag audio as it approaches 0 dbFS, to help you avoid digital clipping.
You can zoom in on a single frame, or display the audio from multiple frames.
Audio Phase Display
Check the phase of your two-channel audio using both XY and stereo-image displays. This display helps prevent phase-reversal problems that could cause playback problems later.
Audio Spectrum Analyzer
The audio spectrum analyzer shows you the frequency content of your audio signal. Use it to check for pitch problems or locate audio cues.

Xfile from Rixstep is the only file manager for OS X capable of seamlessly handling all file systems - fdesc, HFS+, HFS+ case-sensitive, UFS, volfs, ZFS. Its the only file manager capable of detailing all file information available on OS X - and offering full editing capabilities for all these system features.
And Xfile is the only file manager for OS X that shows you everything - literally everything. Without exception. Youll be amazed - perhaps even shocked - at how much is out there that you never saw before.
And it runs so smooth on Leopard. Like no other file manager. At any price.
Xfile manages file flags (user and system append, immutable, etc); sticky bits; set user and group ID bits; it displays major and minor device numbers, inodes (CNIDs), number of links, blocks used, optimal block sizes, and file generation numbers for the superuser; it is able to create both symbolic and hard links.
All of this is supported by your operating system. Almost none of it is supported by any other file browser. Especially Apples Finder.
Additional utilities included allow manipulation of two Unix and five HFS time stamps; batch and recursive mode and time stamping; the remarkable Xshelf; the comprehensive post mortem analysis tool Tracker; complete access to legacy MacOS filesystem data; and more.

System requirements:
- Very little disk footprint.
- Extremely frugal on RAM.

Version restrictions:
- Not all features are enabled.
- It will also run out after a while.

Enhancements
- Overhauled CLIX added today.
- New GDE added recently
- All other apps updated on 1 February and new Tracker added 4 February.

FRS Test Printing System program that facilitates teachers in creating and printing tests and quizzes.
Features:
- easy entry of test questions
- optional auto-numbering of questions on printed copies
- auto-numbering of test copies randomization of question order on each test as tests are sent to the printer

Enhancements: Minor internal code optimizations.

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.1 or later.
