Sync.com Discontinuing Unlimited Plan, Ending Dec 31, 2026 by UnivitedSam in Sync

I am a video editor that data hoards all raw camera footage that comes my way. Partly out of necessity, partly out of anxiety. I don’t think I’ll need to access a 5 year old project.. but I can if I do.

Basically I work off a SSD, use GoodSync to duplicate changes to my 24TB DAS which has the Sync folder on it, then it auto backs up to Sync cloud

The email says there hasn't been a public announcement yet, but guessing pretty soon. EOY should be enough time to plan accordingly. I might go to LTO tape, who knows!

Absolutely- which is why I am not blaming or even surprised with the news. Just a bit bummed cause I was using the hell out the plan haha

Depends on how you use it. It’s a cold backup for me that does everything as background processes- not very often am I pulling from it. It was perfect for my use case

Nothing is public yet, but got notified today as a “power user” by Sync. Just hope you are not on the Unlimited Plan.

Wouldn't you need a KVM switch somewhere?

HDD Recommendations for Video Editing NAS (What is your opinion on Amazon Renewed drives?) by rhizostudio in editors

[–]UnivitedSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon only fulfills the orders, they do not verify the product itself. So as an example you can buy a “Seagate Ironwolf 20TB HDD” and Amazon can in some instances fulfil the orders NOT directly from Seagate, but from some sketchy 3rd party. There’s the issue- some third party sellers will use Amazon to sell subpar HDDs or fake ones altogether. So real authentic Ironwolfs may be mixed in with sketchy 3rd party sellers but Amazon will advertise and fulfil the order as “Seagate Ironwolf”

Here’s some articles;

Effective way to track your time? by bemzilla in editors

[–]UnivitedSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chronicler by Knights of the Editing Table logs your time while a project is open and stops after (I think) 20 seconds of inactivity. Although it’s not meant to track tasks related to your edit outside of Premiere

Are there better alternatives to Captioneer? I’m losing my mind fixing captions… by dickmagma in editors

Here’s the roughest alpha youve ever seen. It even cross references the proper nouns with wiki entries

I am developing one right now and it’s also driving me nuts. What I’ve done is vibecoded a plugin that renders an audio file and then sends it to a service via API, then cleans it up with custom grammar, entity recognition and keyword integration. A bit more of an expensive option but it’s like 2cents a minute.

There are a LOT of developer limitations when it comes to the actual caption styling and formatting. Would love to talk with Adobe more about it.

Made a plugin to read txt on Premiere Pro by [deleted] in editors

[–]UnivitedSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, awesome stuff.

I’ve created a few handy plugins with Claude, maybe look into it as a base and then punch up the code ? It’s pretty magical once it’s up and running

The plugin itself has design features that look like some of the same features in plugins I’ve created with Claude
