I am that guy with the funny name.
In my first life I was a professional photographer. In my second life I started a multimedia studio. That studio began life by producing Flash Games and turned into Software company over the years.
My drive to make art continues with focus of producing my own tools with code. Along the journey others have jumped on to use these tools also. Where will this journey take us, no one knows. I do at least intend to enjoy the ride of finding out.
Cost efficient -All in one Touch app screen capture (both video and stills) SimCap worth a look for promo iPhone screens. The video allows to track multi-Touches with circles in the capture. It pretty cheap @ $15 to help spice up your promo screens on your website.

iSimulate is an application/library pair designed to solve the issue of not being able to use multi-touch and the accelerometer in the iPhone Simulator. iSimulate wirelessly sends multi-touch events, the accelerometer data, and the GPS location to the iPhone Simulator.
This is ratter useful for recording video trailers of iPhone Apps using video screen capture.
We got this, really for doing video trailers. I had only used still screens before and wanted to move over to more of a video preview. That actually recorded the events of the device, with a clean view for the record.
Another developer suggested taking a look at this. All I can say it well worth a spot in my tool box. Check it out for your self maybe you find it useful also.
It really a pretty smart and useful tool, for any iPhone app developer. It is much better than just using it for the application of taking video trailers. If you very used the iPhone Simulator, you would understand, just by watching the above video.
Go check it out. Worth the time, and price.

DerBrill Multimedia today released AE 3 for runrev. With some amazing new commands like: aeChangeHeight, aeChangeWidth, aeChangeRect, aeChangeHScroll , aeChangeVScroll and a few others to an already valuable library.
If you haven't used it or seen the new version of Animation Engine. I highly suggest checking it out. It has a 14 day try out. more info @ http://www.runrev.com/products/related-software/animation-engine-2/
added: I found out if your only upgrading from a past version it cost only $39 USD to upgrade. For That price I renew asap to the new version. After a day of using the new commands, It's worth not passing up. I use AE for mostly User experience and the new addtions work well for that.

Do not understand programing? Do not worry. GameSalad is an Automator type creation tool for games and animation. Interesting concept, and it works. It can be used by traditional programers as a truly rapid prototyping tool. Or by anyone as designed. A simple to use, game creation tool. Web base games need a plug in.
iPhone publishing is just around the corner. (Here the first live iPhone game made with GameSalad, below)
What ever the needs you have, This tool could become very useful. Playing around and testing this product, was and has been truly amazing and fun. Start with a template and play around just as if you where using Automator and make something. One click publishing. with embed tags to put anywhere.
(Below are a few more, screens of the gameSalad interface)
Here is a video I found on youTube that speaks for it self.
If you are a programer looking for prototying. A gamer looking to make your own game, or just curious. I recomend checking out GameSalad. It is a great tool for any need. It is also fun toying around with. Check it out. It currently only works on OS X 10.5 or later with an Intel Processor.

If you every programed with run rev, You most likely came across crashes, freezes and buggy occurrences. That wiped out hours of work. It was the one thing that keep me renewing real basic for the last 6 years even though I never once used it in the past 5 years.
It what proclaimed the phases buggy as hell, when referring to the runrev IDE. By many of people that used this tool.
Then one day, this other developer team Daniels and Mara announce a new out of the IDE editor specially designed for run rev. I was like, what this? what about GLX2? I was honestly confused in this new direction and tool.
Then heard a few claims that this might just stop the crashes and freezes and even from people using the tag line. "rev is buggy as hell" That these terms would go away, by just switching to an outside editor. Yah that is hard to believe, you can say it because I did.
This new editor tRev by Daniels and Mara. Well I was not especting much. But to my surprise runrev never crashed once in a full week. That never has not happened before. While T-Rev is still in beta, I switch to it now, because it works. While I think it is missing a few things from what I would love it to have. It works It does not crash the runrev IDE! (like revs built in editor) it saves hours of frustration and is worth the cheap price tag.
The term "rev is buggy as hell" Has gone away. Rev was not buggy! the built in rev editor was (is) buggy, the built in IDE editor, points to where all the past problems came from. I know you do not believe me. I know , I really really do.
All I can say is give it a test drive, and try it out. You will see. All the problems that seem like bugs, all the problems that crashed it, froze it and frustrated you will go away. I was and still am truly amazed that finally a solution is here to fix these issues.
Bravo, for finally fixing the hell of working with in runrev. T-Rev is worth every penny. Do not be a cheap-o, pick it up and save your self so many headaches and future frustration.
Remember a computer should help people, not drive them mad. The only way to stop the madness is to use tools that work, and stop using the many that do not work well to cause frustration and angry in the first place.
Now I also can say runrev is truly a great tool, minus that bad built in editor.

This might be one of the best screen capture apps yet. I still love using yellow mugs SnapNDrag freeware one, And Screen Steps for easy to build manuals. But Layers uses a complete different approach. You can capture anything and everything and it is a full psd layered image to edit in any image editor (like pixelmator and gimp) that supports layers. You can also drop out backgrounds etc. It really worth downloading the demo and playing around with to see what this bad boy can do. As it does many things other screen capture apps do not.
It's like someone really thought this one out. and I like it.
