Software Recommendations.

Last week I received my first official complaint about 1 Person Crew. It was a very polite email from Michael G. saying “I truly appreciate the time you take to share your thoughts, but the last few posts have been about hardware. At some point, would you mind sharing some of the applications you use as well?”

Michael is totally right. I stand corrected and thanks for the feedback!

So, today’s post is about some of the software applications, plugins and smartphone apps that help me work more efficiently. The list isn’t organized in any particular order. I simply looked at my phone and computer and added the apps I use most often. I’ve added direct links for your convenience.

  • DaVinci Resolve – The free video editing software I’d recommend for anyone getting started.
  • Alex Audio Butler – A powerful yet simple to use audio plugin.
  • Causality – Interesting Scriptwriting app.
  • Shot Lister – Useful Shot List app.
  • Hedge – The software I use to backup memory cards and drives during production.
  • ChronoSync – The software I’ve been using for many years to backup my computer and hard drives.
  • Easy Release – Great app for model and property releases.
  • Artlist – A good Music and Sound Effects Library
  • Soundstripe – An even better Music and Sound Effects Library
  • Frame.io – By far my favorite platform to review and deliver files and projects.
  • BlackMagic Disk Speed Test – Free app to test the speed of your hard drives.
  • Adobe Premiere Rush – Decent smartphone video editing app. Its main strength is the interaction with Premiere Pro.
  • Quik Video Editor – Fast and easy video editing smartphone app.
  • Lee Filters – Handy app to decipher the hundreds of Lee filters.
  • Sun Surveyor – Very useful during location scouting to determine the sun’s trajectory at any given time.
  • Rode Reporter – Free and handy audio smartphone app.
  • Snapseed – Free and powerful smartphone app to retouch photos.
  • Dropbox – By far the most convenient cloud storage for documents. Get 500MB for free with this link.
