However it is designed to organize with the goal of editing, not organize with the goal of browsing outside the editor. The key is to think about how you are going to edit and publish the video, and organize to make that as simple as you can.įCPX is good for this in that you don't have to buy an external management product. I will also do separate special projects like a birthday party or vacation. These also get saved off site on a server as disaster backups. Subler adds metadata, I organize these by genre and add to my iTunes library. I export as original and run them through handbrake to convert to appleTV compatible files using Handbrake presets. I publish a monthly highlight video and an annual DVD sized reel.

If there is a scene I'd want to use in a monthly or yearly feature, I'll clip it and add a copy to the home movie library. I set up separate libraries for these videos organized in the same manner. I often clamp the GoPro on a vehicle or bike for a ride along.
I notice most of the family members video are of pets I gather iPhone videos from family members and combine them with my G40, some GoPro, and my digital cameras. Both are backed up to large external drives. My libraries typically are 500-600GB which fit nicely on my 1TB of internal flash memory. I move previous year's library off onto a 8TB RAID0. Projects typically use clips from the same month and are stored there. In the library I have an event for each month. I've creating a library for each year and keep the current year on local flash. Over the years I've tried different ways to organize but I've ended up organizing by month and year the video was shot. I have home video dating back to 1980, about 4TB. Where should the media live? The Libraries? I'm open to buying fast external storage although I don't want to get more than I need (speedwise). On the media storage side, I have 2017 iMac with a 1TB drive on board. Namely, for any of you that have used FCP for you 100s or 1000s of little clips over the years, what does your Library / Event / Project hierarchy look like? I can envision project that overlap (or can be combined?) for example, Family Ski Trip, Spring Road trip, 2017 In review (which could contain parts of the two previous projects).

In doing so, I started to get a little familiar with the hierarchy of Libraries/Events/folder/projects etc.Īs I think about how to organize the YEAR of family iphone video currently sitting in Lightroom purgatory, I would love some advice for I start down this road. I used it for the first time to create a video for my daughter of our recent family ski trip. I'm sure I'm just scratching the surface but I LOVE the tagging/organizing capabilities so far. So I'm just getting started with FCP after mostly using Adobe Premier.
