Creation & Organization for a projects folders has become an issue.
- With some stock footage & other reuseable clips in various folders scattered around on the system... say in the root directory of your Project Hard Disk.
- And some resuable clips that are project specefic...
- And with a veg Project file plus the raw AVI, WAV, PNG, JPG, etc files used to create & render those resuable clips...
- Then the actual Projects themselves with their own veg File, the various Project raw AVI's, WAV, PNG's, JPG's, etc...
You can see how folder organization can become complicated fast.
Certainly after your hard disk fills up... and you want to move some project folders to backup storage... but then they can't reach the resuable footage anymore because the path in the veg file is no longer any good...
So
1 - How do you guys organize your stuff?
2 - Do you just put all files... including "copies" of resuable footage, files, & materials in the same folder with the actual projects files... so you can then copy the Project Folder to where ever and the Project's veg file can still find every thing? (This uses more disk space because you are making copies of reusable stuff for every project.)
3 - Putting all reusable stock footage and other files on one disk and the projects on another sounds good at first... but if you ever reorganize that stock footage disk later on... or delete any of the old files that you are no longer using... then the client calls for a revision in their Project... your sunk... as all the project files are no longer available.
So how do you guys do this?
Thanks for all comments.
