Managing multiple media files, whether photos, drawings, or similar assets, can be a cumbersome task. This is particularly true for creatives who need to repurpose these files for social media, portfolios, or websites. Manually converting each file one by one is time-consuming and inefficient.
Why Use CloudConvert?
CloudConvert is a versatile tool that facilitates the conversion of various media formats into smaller, more manageable files. Whether you are dealing with photos, videos, or PDFs, CloudConvert simplifies the conversion process. For instance, it can compress a high-resolution video into a smaller file size, making it easier to share or store. This functionality is crucial for professionals who frequently need to manage and convert large volumes of media files.
Integrating CloudConvert with Make Automation
The real magic happens when you integrate CloudConvert with Make Automation. This combination is highly beneficial for those who handle media files on a daily, frequent, and consistent basis. Make Automation allows you to set up automated workflows that streamline the entire conversion process.
Simple Workflow Setup
The first step in this workflow is to have Make Automation monitor your Google Drive for new files. When a new file is detected, the second module, CloudConvert, takes over to convert the file into the specified format and size. Finally, the third module determines where the converted file should be stored, ensuring it ends up in the correct folder within your Google Drive. This workflow saves significant time and reduces manual effort.
Customise Your Automation
Make Automation provides flexibility in terms of frequency and intervals for the conversion tasks. You can set the workflow to run at specific times—every 30 minutes, hourly, or on demand. This flexibility allows you to control when and how often your files are converted, aligning with your specific needs and schedules.
Practical Implications for Creative Professionals
This automated workflow is particularly useful for creative agencies, art galleries, and individual artists who need to manage and convert media files efficiently. Whether you opt for automated intervals or manual control, this setup minimises administrative tasks, allowing you to focus more on your creative work.
