"TRAVIS JOHNS: Hi. I'm Travis Johns with Expert Village, and I'm going to be talking to you about organizing project files in your home video post-production studio. Organizing project files in a specific way that you're going to remember is very important from the start. By the end of any given project, you might have 10 to 20 to 30 folders with different names. You want to make sure that everything is located on one drive where you can get to it easily. Make sure that within that folder you've created, you can access each file and find things quickly. So make sure that whatever you're labeling the folders, it's intuitive and it makes sense with the project that you're creating. Organizing from an editorial standpoint, you want to make sure that your separate bins or folders all have specific purposes. So if you have video of an interview and then you have b-roll that you're supposed to cut away to, make sure that those are in separate bins and those are easy to locate. A lot of times, you'll be in the middle of a project and you'll need to find a specific shot or a specific graphic, and you want to make sure that you're not going to have to waste time digging around for things that could easily just be right in front of your face. You also want to make sure that any external pieces of media you're going to have to bring into your project are in label-appropriate folders so that you're also not spending any time looking for files or, at the very worst, having to recreate something you've already made because you just can't find it."
