It's easy to get caught up in the business of everyday life and allow your various folders and files to become disorganized. Zack demonstrates how to use the app Hazel to automate the file and folder organization process so you don't have to stop and think every time that you need to output random media assets and files.
- [Instructor] In a previous lesson,…I showed you TextExpander, a really cool app…that helps you save time…by automating repetitive typing tasks.…In this lesson, I want to take automation…to another level and demonstrate…an incredibly simple, yet very powerful tool called Hazel.…Basically, Hazel is your own personal assistant…working 24/7 in the background without you…ever having to think about it.…The possibilities are limitless,…and I simply don't have the time to demonstrate…the power of this application, but I am going…to show you how you can set it up…to design your very first script.…
And just this one script alone could…be a game-changer for you, especially…if you work in post-production with mountains of media.…So right now, I'm at the homepage…of Hazel, which is Noodlesoft.com,…don't ask me why, but that's where you find it.…So you can download a test trial version…or you can buy it.…Now I'm going to show you what a fresh install…of Hazel looks like.…It's basically going to be an application…that's located in the System Preferences of your computer.…
