Back up and restore your library
Pick up where you left off, without losing the work you’ve done. Safely keep your decisions on hundreds of takes, the folders you’ve created, scene selections, notes, and your whole workflow in Merceq. Return to past work with automatic backups, or create your own backup whenever you like. When you switch computers, move your library to your new Mac; even if your videos have moved to another disk or been renamed, reconnect them. Whether you’re returning to earlier work or continuing on a new computer, you won’t have to spend the time organizing your footage all over again.
Culling your footage, choosing scenes, and organizing folders takes time. A Merceq library backup helps you save this work on your videos. You can return to an earlier stage or move your organization to another Mac.
