Using folders by date is not the best of ideas, unless the day is relevant to the content of your videos. In my case (for the weather forecasts) I make a folder with the date of the forecast (12 November), inside of it I make sub-folders by categories (weather maps, the forecast, anchors clips, etc. Each sub-folder with its own footage and graphics) All of this is inside another folder, the month (November). All of them are inside a "Master Folder" by the name of the weather channel name "Juracan TV". It seems confusing, but its quite simple: <ol> <li>Juracan TV (Master Folder)</li> </ol> <ul> <li>November (Folder) <ul> <li>10 November (Sub-Folder) <ul> <li>Weather Maps (Sub-Folder) <ol> <li>United States Radar</li> <li>Atlantic Satellite</li> </ol> </li> <li>Anchor Footage (Sub-Folder)</li> </ul> <ul> <li> <ol> <li>Take 1</li> <li>Take 2</li> </ol> </li> <li>Forecast (Sub-Folder) <ol> <li>USA Video Clip</li> <li>Atlantic Video Clip</li> <li>Puerto Rico Video Clip</li> </ol> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> I told you that categorizing by date is not a good idea because you will have so many folder of dates and you will rather not remember what was on it. The trick to categorized folders is naming them with something you can remember easily. For example for a short film that is name "Events" you make a master folder name "Events", you keep making sub-folders inside (Footage Sub-Folder, Special Effects Sub-Folder, Music Sub-Folder, etc) and put the clips in their corresponding sub-folders. Put the master folder in My Documents and if the folder is really important put color labels to them. Also, keep your desktop as much clean as possible. I only put files and folders in the desktop for projects that I'm currently editing. After finishing the project I move the files to my documents and clean the desktop for the next projects. I haven't found a software to organize my clips. I think I don't need it but, it will be interesting to see the features. ellesgaard on "Organizing video clips?" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/organizing-video-clips#post-52315 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:24:32 +0000 ellesgaard 52315@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ Hi all! I'm sorry for my english, I'm from a little country called Denmark . I hope your understand my question. How do you organize your clips? I have my clips on harddrives, in folders by date.

In checking out your suggestions; robert... I found a source for your Picture Motion Browser program. Its downloaded in 4 parts in RAR format. It appears to be a series of ISO files so it will be a fun puzzle to figure out how to get them installed. It will be interesting to see if it can help with my issue. Butterflyguy In looking around I find that Adobe Bridge is not available in a stand-alone program . It appears to be a part of several of Adobe's other software packages including Creative suite series. I will need to decide if purchasing one of these packages is the path I can take. Aspyrider I found Photo Manager and gave it a try. It seems to be unable to see my .mts files. I have all the video format file extensions checked in its list and still no luck. I do like the GUI for it though and hope there is an update available that can fix my problem. NewBirth... I wish I had the talent to create that style of database.Â It sounds like a great resource for file management. $600+ is a little steep for me to consider at this time to try to find someone that can do something like it for me.

When I capture my shots I always name each shot so it can be referenced later. I even use my own shorthand to keep things shorter - for example "mon nec bb" - stand for a monarch butterfly nectaring on a butterfly bush. - Also look into a program called "Better File Rename" I use it all the time. It allows you do do batch rename with lots of options. It really helps in organizing your files. roberthartmanncoza on "How do you "File" your video clips?" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-do-you-file-your-video-clips#post-44032 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 09:19:15 +0000 roberthartmanncoza 44032@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ hi their. i use a programm called Picture Motion Browser that was supplied when i purchased my Sony video camera. It is brilliant. it sorts either by folder name or by date shot. Very useful, user friendly and powerful programm. i do not think one can purchase it other than when it is supplied when buying a camera. i reside in South Africa so this may not apply to you. Picassa, which is supplied free of charge by google, is very similar but not as user friendly and has far less features. Try it. Try source a copy of PMB, YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED.

I started out with a small camcorder (Panasonic HDC-CF9) about a year ago. I am having a lot of fun with it and am enjoying working with a few video editors, (highest level editor I own is Corel's VideoStudio Pro X2). Largely very armature stuff but it is a nice hobby. I love doing nature/scenery shots, and living in Oregon there is a lot of scenery available within 90 minutes of home. My issue; I am starting to have quite a collection of shots and am facing the daunting task of trying to file these in some logical way. I have almost 200Gb of video in .mts format (AVCHD), 2,200 files ranging from 10 seconds to 15 minutes a clip. The most painful issue is not getting a thumbnail of what the video clip is about. So this involves opening the folder. Opening a video edit program pull a folders worth of videos into the working folder of the editor, and renaming the files based on the topic or location. Time consuming at best. Then storing them on DVD RAM. What methods do you use to file your shots? How do you sort your videos? I know a few of you are in the production business and most likely file by project. I also know that film sites provide a chance for collecting stock footage as well. How do you file those? Any special tools, file software or such you could suggest? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The DVDs are already a highly compressed MPEG 2 format and you will be uncompressing, converting, and recompressing, losing quality. You can use the free tool MpegStreamclip to get the VOB files converted to DV-AVI format for Premiere. You can also rip the DVDs with Premiere Elements (versions 2 - 4) and export a DV-AVI file from there to work on in Premiere Pro.
