Great work. Subscrribed!😊

Great review and good work !!! Regards from Spain

Amazingg

And there guys this is last video we got from this guy.

I live and work in Flint, MI. Would love to see a video on your Flint stuff.

Thank you so much for your insight! When I started editing films, a friend suggested the following structure for each project that I use to this day: VIDEO PROJECT NAME: __ INPUT (with videos, music files, logos, ... sometimes separated by individual subfolders, depending on the amount of files) __ PREMIERE FILE (=edit data) __ OUTPUT (final video(s), thumbnails) But because of your video, I think I might make some adjustments :) // I was wondering how you would go about structuring footage that you are likely to use for several different video editing projects in the future. So, let's say I shoot footage over a span of a year or more (several events, e.g.) and I don't plan on making just one final video out of it. But instead I will edit some of the footage this month. And then I will reuse some of the footage as well as other footage for another video in two months, and then reuse some of it again for another video project next year, ... You get the idea. Would you put the footage in a separate folder (using suitable subfolders) OUTSIDE of any project folders and keep it there and then just refer to this separate footage folder once you start editing a new video? Or would you copy and paste the footage for every new editing? Thanks in advance!

where's the script files

okay but why you so fine ?

I don't even do video editing, but your teaching style is really good! Thank you for helping make this feel less overwhelming

I LOVE THIS!!!

Fantastic Video!! Thank you so much!! ❤

Great video! You are superbly articulate and explain things in a very concise way. Looking to automate my video editing process, and AutoHotkey looks like the tool for the job for me!

Nice overview. The main way I use AHK is to create context sensitive msgboxes that display keyboard shortcuts for whatever application I'm currently using

Thanks, very helpful - from London, UK.

Amazing video bro but i have a faster method for creating folders by using DirCreate. Like this: DirCreate (A_Desktop "\Name of file here" ) This example creates the folder in desktop but you can change the directory by changing A_Desktop to the path you wish And it's also using ahk V2 syntax

Dude how is this channel so good

Damn i just discovered your channel and I'm learning so much. Appreciate your speaking style. I wish you had continued with your channel, and wish you all the best!

Hello from New York City! Such a good script. Is the source code available? Thank you for your informative video.

Where is the legend 😢

Great video...thanks. Can you provide a document of the flow-chart of the folders.

Why you've stopped making videos regularly? loved the way you explained entire process so smoothly keeping us fully engaged. It was entertaining too specially the end. Please start again, want to see more videos from you! 😇

Wouldn't it be good IF it could read the Folder names in the given dir and assign them to hotkeys ctrl numpad 01-09 for example... as I'm no video editor rather Document Controller and my project folder are never the same

Great energy; Clean, concise presentation!

1.86k subs? WHAAAAAAAAAT?!

What was your favourite out of all 13 stations my favourite was Tremblay and Rideau! 🚇

idc about the issues, i love out silly line

Super helpful. Thanks.

Sensational, thank you 👍

Just rode the line. Actually think it is really good, and I'm glad they had 5 years to work out the issues

Your voice sounds great, what mic?

First I like your video and explanation. Second, To save more time you can get one of the programable keyboards to program the keys to have the hot key you just programmed, so that you don't have to memorize many hot keys. I got one of SayoDevices and it worked perfectly when combining it with AutoHotKey.

Super helpful, clear, and easy to understand! Thanks for making this video.

This is great and such an overlooked skill set. I do the same thing with even fewer folders. I label mine as such date client project. (V). (P) (A). Within those folders I have duplicated the names and inserted an E, and an R, into the parenthese this allows me to distinguish between a RAW and edited. Usually my a folder just stands for audio and assets, as I don’t usually fill up too many things in those. Lastly, I create a folder in parentheses (PJT. ) that’s where any of my project files live all within one folder ecosystem. I do a lot of multimedia stuff, so I always have about photography and video music audio and sound.

For the first script, you could use FileCreateDir to create a new folder. For the second script, instead of making an InputBox to set the active folder location, you could try to use FileSelectFolder. It creates a dialog box that allows you to select a folder and stores its path in a variable.

Yep, Very Addictive, Very Quickly

Hey Alexander. Thank you for your video. I have a question regarding the Motion Graphics Template Media in my project folder. Within this folder, I noticed several subfolders with the extension .aegraphic. However, I have realized that not all of these mogrts are actually being used in the project. Could you please advise on how to delete these unnecessary files?

My issue is I don't make many videos recorded irl. It's a lot of trailers, game clips, or just meme. Memes are a nightmare because I don't want to lose the clips I got to make those. Sounds, youtube videos, etc, but good lord whe. You just want to make a quick meme it's rough. I figure I'll probably make an archive folder of goofy videos I need to get an absolute master hdd for archive. I have a lot of hard drives, especially for tv shows and whatnot on plex. But I need one good hard drive to move stuff to once I'm done editing on ssd. I also need to get a dedicated internal ssd for editing. This is made harder by how many games want an ssd

We just came back from a 4-month trip and shot 5-TB of video files and have been searching for the best way to organize all of our assets, this is exactly what we needed. THANK YOU.

I have 2 of these, after I broke lens on one I bought the same cam again. This 'budget' action cam was actually released during the GoPro hero 3 era and Hero3 has no stabilization unlike this one that had awesome stabilization for its time. So It wouldn't be correct to call it GoPro knock off ;). Nice vid btw.

If you want to quickly create a new bunch of folders in a directory: Type "cmd" in the address bar at that location In command prompt type: mkdir Assets Documents "Edit Data" Music "Raw Footage" This will create all those new folders in the blink of an eye. You can throw that into a cmd file and reuse it as needed: @echo off mkdir Assets Documents "Edit Data" Music "Raw Footage" pause The pause is only necessary to read any error messages. Don't forget to hit F5 to refresh the folder as the new folders might not sure up immediately.

What are those hard drives

DAM good overview!

How did this video not get 1 million views?! simply a gold mine of productivity🤩🤩

I have a project template that I duplicate for every video. Super helpful to organize the edit from that point.

Thank you!

Alexander, this is the best AutoHotKey tutorial I've come across. Others I've read tell you how to do a basic AutoHotKey, and direct you to articles that tell you how to create others-and that tutorial is really good. What I like about your tutorial is you explain what the scripts are, and why they are used, and you show us in a great order so that we can understand. Then you show us why you use the hotkey, and how you do it. Now I'm an IT guy (not a developer), and a videographer and there is a lot I don't understand about scripting, and you have made AutoHotkey understandable. Thanks for taking the time to explain well how to use AutoHotKey relevant to video editors, and others. 🤓🔥

great tutorial 😁

A common dilemma that editors deal with is whether or not to copy the entire file structure that the camera records on the SD card onto the system/external drive, since copying ONLY the .mp4 (without the rest: PRIVATE, AVCHD, etc.) sometimes leads to problems with audio sync, etc. Any thoughts? If you want to preserve that root structure of technical folders, it is impossible to parse-out different kinds of content to multiple destination folders/drives. It leads to a workflow where you shoot only one kind of content (an event, for ex.) on an SD card, which requires a level of discipline which many of us don't possess!

What ends up happening is my phone memory gets full and I have no memory to finalize my project, so I back up my videos to my computer to create space on my phone because that's where I edit, then when I need a video that's been backed up to my computer, I run into trouble because I need it back on my phone again. It's gotten out of hand and I just need some good advice as to how to organize and easily access video files while simultaneously keeping my phone's memory free enough to work. So a 10 minute video might need segments and excerpts of other videos edited in, in an effort to complete the video. It's a real challenge. Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated 🙏

I use my phone to record video and VN Video Editor to edit with. What would you suggest a good organization system would be?
