#145 - Free Online Tools for Post Pros
Every now and then you discover a really great website that some generous soul has thrust out into the world with the aim of making your life easier.
No, I'm not talking about Cut/daily but thanks for thinking that [blush] ...you did think that right?
Right?
OK lolz aside, I'm actually talking about the very excellent editingtools.io which I only discovered this week.
It's a suite of over 20 online tools which can do some incredibly useful things:
- Subtitle repair, clean up and conversion
- Customisable watermark generator
- Convert timeline markers from 12 different apps to another
- Generate natural sounding speech from text - great for temp VO!
And all online, so you don't need to download a bunch of apps to clutter up your hard drive and you'll have access to them wherever you have wifi.
EditingTools.io is a collection of web-based generators, scripts and converters designed for various post-production purposes.
Optimized for workflows with Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Davinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro X.
— Editingtools.io
You should sign up for free so that you have unfettered access to all of the tools, as well as the ability to save your generated files for up to 10 days and share them with others via a link and email.
Creating an account will also allow you to buy 'AI Credits' to pay for the server time needed to run some of the clever AI tools they have to offer.
One of the most promising is the (closed beta) of their AI Auto-Editing which, for instance, can auto-generate edited string-outs based on speech analysis of a clip, among other things.
Every Tool on EditingTools.io
The marker converter has some smart features such as changing the marker colours or filtering only specific types of marker through the conversion.
The subtitle tool also looks incredibly useful as it can not only convert from one subtitle format to another but it can remove empty subtitles, merge identical subtitles and drop extraneous whitespaces at the beginning or end of a title.
That, and a whole lot more!
Here is a complete list and direct link to every tool on EditingTools.io. If you find these useful you can support the project by buying them a coffee.
