How to attach files to your post

[David Nahmani]

You can drag and drop files directly into the text editor:

Screenshot:

• Command-Shift-3 for a full screen screenshot
• Command-Shift-4-drag around an area of your screen
• Command-Shift-5 to crop an area of your screen

Movie:

• Download the free app LICEcap to make quick .gif animations
• Upload a movie to YouTube and paste the link to your post

Logic file:

1. Make a copy of your file and remove all unnecessary tracks and regions
2. Save the file organized as a folder. 
3. In the Finder, go inside the folder, Control-click the file and choose Compress. 
4. Drag and drop the .zip file to your post

David it seems like Cmd-Shift-4 no longer works. It's now Cmd-Shift-5.

There are different methods for taking screenshots: Command-Shift-3, Command-Shift-4, Command-s#!+-5 ... they all work as expected here including Command-Shift-4 which allows you to easily drag to select the part of the screen you need to capture.

Interesting. CmdShft-4 doesn’t work for me at all, and I have no key modifiers installed.

Which of these of these steps make the file solid and ''selectable" for attachment? That's what I need in order to attach the file to a comment. It doesn't seem to be such a complicated detail.

If it's a Logic file, follow the paragraph that starts with "To attach a Logic file...".

You have to compress the file: control-click the file and choose compress. Then attach the resulting .zip file to your topic's thread.

Two solutions for sharing a video in our forum:

1. Use LiceCap (free) to capture an animated .gif and attach it here as you would an image.

OR

 

2. Upload your video to YouTube and embed it to your post:

 

Example: 
if the video URL is www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ then write:
[youtube]dQw4w9WgXcQ[/youtube]

 

PS: If you would rather not have YouTube visitors see your video, set it as Unlisted.
