Mac Software Review: Screen Mimic 2.1
Screen Mimic is a screen capture shareware title from Polarian Technology. The latest version is 2.1.0. One license costs US$64.95.

Screen Mimic comes with no screenshot function. It solely allows you to record desktop movements and compress video to QuickTime, FLV or SWF. Continue reading

You just create a shape, rotate it and then create a label and paste it with 3D Revolve > Map Art. Continue reading
