How to organize your footage while video editing.

Now , many people know how frustrating while editing when you have files named "qwoewqe.avi" or "xadajdajadj.avi" ... It is virtually impossible to find what you are looking for , so here are some tips on how to make your job easier and more enjoyable along the way.

• Name your footage for example "3v1 clutch"
• Name your demos or replays as well.
• Delete any footage that you don't need anymore
• Save your project along the way , wouldn't want your pc to crash and leave in the air.
• Close all programs except for your editing software that means (MSN , IE , FF , Chrome)

Now I know that you want to get it over with and you just type random names out for your files "wasasdsa" may be a suitable name for the spot but believe me it will be hard trying to locate that piece of footage later on in the project , so I highly suggest that you take 2 seconds to type out a relevant name or expend 5 minutes looking for the clip.

Thank you for reading.
