Media Management

What is media management?

Media management is the process of organizing, storing, and cataloging media assets so that files are easily accessible and backups are maintained. It also includes handling metadata and labeling files correctly for editing.

How do I organize media for video editing?

You can organize media by creating folders for different asset types like video, audio, or images. Use a consistent naming convention for files, and maintain a structured timeline for different elements. Group similar clips in bins based on scenes or shot types for quick access.

How to stay organized as an editor

Stay organized by labeling all media files, using markers in the timeline, and maintaining project folders. Back up files and create project templates for better workflows.
