How we manage and sort our clips

Folders

We put them all into Final cut and as a group choose the clips we wish to use. We then use a separate folder to put all our primary shots in so that we don't get confused as to which we have and which we haven't used.

With the other clips we put them in another folder rather than deleting them so if we spot an error we are able to either reshoot or swap out that clip for another.


In terms of grading them we have the best ones at the start of the discarded clip folder. While the other ones are at the back of the folder. Furthermore we have named the clips with a description of the shot and ranked in comparison to the others of that same shot.
