DIY TOOLS

My clients often ask how they can share their converted videos with family and friends on their TVs. If screen mirroring or casting is giving you trouble, this affordable cable makes it easy to connect your phone or device to your TV screen! 

Another USB-C to HDMI cable option that tested well. 

IMPORTANT: Be sure to choose an adapter that’s appropriate for your specific device — and not just Lightning vs. USB-C. Check if your phone brand and model are listed for that cable and read reviews!

When going through old photos to scan and save, sometimes it's more efficient to go at your own pace and decide along the way. This portable, rechargeable photo scanner is so simple and saves your scans to a memory card. 

This slide and negative scanner fits a variety of home media and can digitize in the click of a button. You can save to computer or a memory card, then optimize with your favorite photo application. 

I use a set up like this one for reel conversion. You can save your reels to a memory card or computer. Keep an eye on my YouTube channel for a how-to, coming soon! 

I've tried a few products to digitize cassette tapes (remember those mixtapes we made way back when?). This has been the easiest and most reliable for me so far. If you have a bunch you're looking to digitize, consider this cassette player recorder converter. 

Want to give this a try on your own? This is one type of camcorder-to-digital converting tool on Amazon. I use an older process for videos, but this is an inexpensive (and often refundable) option to give it a go at home.
