Organizing your edit

Why is organizing your footage so important to editing? What are two things you found really helpful that you learned in this video?
Organizing footage and accurately logging footage will speed up the editing process. By putting files into folders or marking the clips, it can help the editor find the shot faster. If the files are not logged or put into folders, editors would have to watch every scene based on the thumbnail, which will be time consuming and inefficient. Smart Bins can be used to put together files that similar in names or style of file. For example, the audio format can be put together in one folder by selecting the type of file. These can potentially decrease the time collecting similar shots. Slates can have additional information added to the clip. Information such as crew names, scene numbers and the type of lenses used for the shot can be added manually. This can also be added in the description box found when it is scrolled towards the right. These descriptions can also include the question if it is an interview shot.
