Productivity Tips To Make Your Workflow Secure & Efficient

You’ve gotta check out these five apps if you’re making content or editing video!

As video editors and/or content creators, we’re constantly looking for apps that improve our workflows and save us time and frustration.

Speed, efficiency, simplicity, automation, security…these are the qualities we’re looking for whenever we’re fielding app recommendations or searching for apps that take a complex process and make it much simpler, more intuitive — apps that make that friction-filled process friction-free.

CHRONOSYNC

We all need to protect our data, right? We have to have backups and often backups of our backups. But we need to be able to do that process efficiently. Well, look no further than the excellent Chronosync app.

Chronosync is a must-have app for ensuring data security.

I’ve been using this app for years to back up external drives that store my video editing projects for clients as well as my own YouTube content. If you’re working with a bunch of media assets and a Final Cut Pro Library, you can use this app to easily synchronize all of your files and folders from one drive to another.
