I Love to Batch

Ahhh, batch processing... the wonders of making your computer do the boring repetitive work, so you don't have to!

Right now, I have a video for church batch rendering into DV, DVD mpeg, DivX, and Quicktime.

Ohhh, but it applies to so much more. I can record what's called an Action in my audio editing software, and set it to do as many functions as I want, to as many files as I want. Like normalize, filter, and save them all to mp3.

Or in Photoshop, I can record all sorts of crazy things to make my job a lot easier. For example, you can tell it to Open a picture, Desaturate, Save, and Close. Batch, wait a moment, and it's done. It just turned all of your photos black and white without you having to do the work. (How to)

Just wind it up, and off it goes!
