Organising Projects

I want to make a holiday video in 2 parts (i.e. 2 VF projects) and then bring them together for the final rendering. I could render each project separately and then use the output files as the input to a third project, but this will almost double the amount of disk space I need plus increasing the time spent rendering.

How do other people organise their work?

Cheers

I would create them as one large project. Is there a reason you're not doing it this way? You can always selectively render parts of the timeline if you want to have several smaller output files.

There's no major problem with doing it as one big project, it just means I'm working with fewer items at a time, the start of the time line is the start of the currently active work - things like that.

I've also got to the point where I'm happy with the first part and it would be nice to know that I'd got it safely tucked away somewhere. It's a comfort factor more than anything else!

Thanks for the advice!

That makes sense. You could always save your project to a safe backup file, something like "project - part one completed.vf" and then that would preserve what you've done so far safely.
