I've been working on revising my old videos on Youtube. Currently around half way through over 450 videos. I'll also be changing the website to reflect some of that. When I fix up an old video there are a bunch of things I change. First is the thumbnail. I designed a more cohesive look a while back where each video will have text describing the overall theme like "camera talk" or "photography". Second is other aspects like the description of the video as well as cards and end screens. All of this requires a bunch of things open on my computer. I use Acdsee to find old graphics. I use my old copy of Photoshop to edit the thumbnails. I have multiple browser windows open. I use the open source application called Notepad++ to copy/paste blocks of text I have saved. I use a few File Explorer windows to access files in different places. After searching around, I see there is an open source application called Explorer++ that allows for multiple file browser windows to be tabs in a single application window. The program also defaults to reloading whatever tabs were there after closing/opening the application, which will save me from re-opening all of the folders I need between sessions of working on this. It should speed things up just that little bit more! I've just started testing it, so we will see how it goes. Every little bit counts to make this task finish sooner. It's been weeks off-and-on so far. |
