With some plug-ins, scripts and extensions, you wish you had known about them long before the start of the last project, in our case a 100-minute archive documentary with over 1,000 individual media files. The "Project Sorter" script saves a lot of time when editing and post-processing larger projects, especially when it comes to sorting and cataloguing different media types.. Project Sorter is a bit like the post office clerk who sorts letters by city, district and street - only for media, not for direct mail items. The usual confusion at the highest project level: the differences between the media types can only be recognised by small symbols and labels. Sooner or later you have to sort them manually into bins. How Project Sorter works But first things first...

Whether a simple ruler, clock face, tempo display, volume, diagram or progress bar, the controllers of easyRulers 2 can be used for almost anything that needs to be visualised using numbers and indices. The script initially offers the user two ...

On the one hand, this is due to the growing functional scope of the host programmes, which already offer increasingly powerful functions with or without AI support. On the other hand, a wave of stock footage and template platforms such as envato/Video Hive, which offer unlimited downloads for as little as 15€ per month, has overrun us in an almost inflationary fashion. So why design effects yourself when one click is enough to move almost anything imaginable to your local computer?
