David Dilling from Markzware here, and the new FlightCheck 7.5 is out,
with Adobe CC 2014 support and much more.
Right now, I'm going to show you how you can download and install
the Markzware FlightCheck 7.5 for the Macintosh.
Alright, so we've already purchased FlightCheck,
and what happens is you will have received an email.
The email will look something like this. I've obviously X'd out and
used fake license ID information. But, effectively, this is a very
important email, and you should save it.
This is your unique and private download URL.
This link will always have the latest version of the
product available for you. It's not for distribution or use outside
of your own network or computer, because this is your license
and for nobody else.
The license ID is built into the installer.
And to get started, you just double-click here.
You'll then be led to a web page, which gives you an overview of
what you just purchased and, basically, what you just saw.
And you just want to click on Download for the Mac.
You'll see this latest version as support for Adobe InDesign CC files.
That means InDesign, QuarkXPress... Sorry, that means InDesign,
Illustrator, Photoshop, and, of course, Acrobat or PDF files.
So, just click Download. A new window will open.
You'll have to agree to our End User License Agreement,
which I'm sure you will. Click Download.
Now, your unique installer with your license ID built in
can be downloaded. Just click Save File.
You'll now see it downloading, just like any other download
would download on your Macintosh. Important note to make sure that
under your System Preferences, and under Security & Privacy,
that you have Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere.
By default, that'll be set to Mac App Store and identified developers.
Then, go in and double-click decompress file, and then
what you'll get is the Mac will decompress and
give you the new FlightCheck, as you see here.
To install FlightCheck, it's quite simple, as it
is a stand-alone application. You just simply take the
application itself and drop it in your Applications folder.
And in our Applications folder, we will have the FlightCheck right there,
and I can now put it down into my Dock.
It's very important that you leave this folder,
the FlightCheck 7.5 folder, intact. Do not move any of these folders or
subfolders or subfiles out of their location.
I would recommend actually putting the entire folder right into your
Applications folder, with your applications.
From there, using FlightCheck is quite simple.
It's as easy as double-clicking on the application icon and just clicking Open.
FlightCheck would like to access your contacts.
Oh, it's handy to have that, right?
You'll see that FlightCheck activates itself.
You will need an active internet connection and
registration is, of course, voluntary from there.
And you see registration is easy, too.
So, once you have activated and registered,
you'll never see these screens, again, in theory.
To get started with FlightCheck, it's quite easy.
We'll have other videos to show you how to do that.
Your Ground Controls are very important to set up,
because this is what FlightCheck will check for.
But, to use FlightCheck, it's easy as just dragging
and dropping a file onto the FlightCheck icon, or
up to the FlightCheck flight strip up here.
FlightCheck will preflight the entire file,
based on the Ground Controls you have set up.
FlightCheck looks very deep and detailed. It has the old
(FlightCheck eagle screeches) eagle eye, to help you see
inside that file. You'll get an overview with problems listed
in common English, and you'll get a main screen,
where you can see more deeply into all the different potential issues.
FlightCheck will also collect, or package, your entire file.
Very handy to package everything together,
all fonts and images, into one folder,
for sending to the next party in the workflow.
I, personally, also like the Page Layout,
where I can see, page by page.
So, folks, that's been the new FlightCheck 7.5 from Markzware,
with added Adobe CC 2014 support. It includes all the other InDesign
and Photoshop and Illustrator versions, lower, and, of course,
QuarkXPress, and native Corel, and Publisher and PDF files.
Pretty much, you name it, if it's in the graphic arts business,
on the print side, and even for some of the online stuff,
we'll check it. Drag and drop your file onto FlightCheck,
get peace of mind, today. Package, as well.
