I’m always excited when find a way to cut time for a procedure I do in my business.

Here is an example of a procedure I do for creating a new video:

• Record video
• Export video as flash file (for web)
• Export Video as .avi file (for web/CD)
• Open FTP software
• Log on to server
• Upload Videos

About six major steps. But what if there were a way to merge the last three so that I wouldn’t have to open up another application to upload my videos? Would if be worth it? In my business, any time and hassles saved is an improvement, and continuous improvement in any business is important. So how would I do this? Well, TechSmith’s Camtasia Studio 5 has a new FTP feature built in. You can take a look at this article on their blog which contains some screenshots: http://visuallounge.techsmith.com/2007/10/camtasia_studio_v5_sneak_peek_6.html

How are you improving your procedures in your own business?
