![]() With Gemini 2, you can choose which folders to scan or select your entire hard drive. It’s saved me nearly 45-60 minutes today, plus I’m aware of a new tool that will be in my toolbox for future problems I may face.But here’s a tip: download Gemini 2 to help you quickly scan for duplicates and get rid of them. Not sure when I’ll need such a tool in the future, but that isn’t important. I have another three talks to edit where the slides are in PDF, so this will provide me with a lot of value today. I now have an app in my Apps folder called PDFToImages.app, which I can drag a PDF on to, it then opens a file dialog where I can choose where to save them, and boom, it does them all, and takes less time than it took for me to export a single page! Whooop! This is the kind of automation I love! Final App I copied the instructions as per the post, it is as simple as dragging and dropping the functions you require, changing a few of the options and saving it as an application. Then I found this post explaining how it could be done using Automator. I knew I could export a page of a PDF to an image using Preview, however, it does one images at a time, not great when someone has 40+ slides! Lot’s of commercial tools came up in my results, but as this is currently a one of for me, I didn’t want to pay for something. I discovered this tool while googling a specific issue I was facing, which was converting speakers slides in PDF format to Images, so I can edit them in to the video. If you have a Mac and never explored this tool, I encourage you to open it and take a look, you could create some really interesting workflows. I’d never heard of this before today, but it’s provided by Apple and it allows you to create your own little apps/batch jobs/workflows on MacOS by combining existing functions available in MacOS applications. I didn’t expect to find myself creating some awesome automation to help me, but I did! Now, I’ve never edited conference videos, but I’ve recorded and edited lots of training material for YouTube and The Dojo, so, I wanted to give it a go, to see if I can learn more about Camtasia and the process as a whole. So, I’m currently editing some videos for a conference that Ministry of Testing sponsored, this is a great new initiative which I’ll write about on MoT soon. ![]()
