@@TheFinalCutBro thanks always. when done with each scene what’s your workflow to put them into on export? Make another project and paste them in?

I use a Library as a single year to contain all of my videos for the year. Each event is a specific “portable radio activation” that I did. Under that event there could but one project for the video or more depending if I create a short based upon the main video or for something else.

This is great Dylan! It’s one of the clearest explanations for choosing to use Libraries or Events. I see several editors comment here that they set up a library for the whole year and populate it with a number of events for different projects. I found that approach is fine for short form projects, such as commercials. But, with longer form projects such as episodic TV or documentaries, a single library gets bogged down with more lagging at playback with a big library. To avoid that frustration, I now use a new library for each episode. This is so much better, and playing a timeline is quick and snappy!

It's a bit ropey but first attempt. Have just sent a link to your Patreon page (DM). You feature in the video and so I need your clearance to broadcast far and wide. At the moment, password protected to protect the inocent!

Very interesting, I do a very different approach, I keep a separate library for each client And I use the events for everything I create “Timelines” event for only the projects like scenes, episodes, versions..etc, and then create events for each type of asset “Footage”, “Music”, “SFX”, “Graphics”…etc I would use keywords to sort the footage based on location/date. In some big projects I would create more events for the footage based on episode number or day of shooting. And for very big projects, I would make each episode on a separate library.

Very similar: I use Libraries for clients and Events for projects. If a client hires me for a corporate overview, *all* of the corporate overview is in the same event, no matter the length of the project. Keeping all the media in one spot is really helpful for my brain. There’s another level of organization not covered here: the files in the clips browser can be organized by scene! Select any clip or group of clips, then in the inspector, there is a “scene” text box. I mark all my clips based on sub-categories like “interviews,” “B-Roll,” “Branding,” “SFX,” etc. This creates dropdown arrows so you can hide things you don’t need when you’re not working on them. If I was doing a short film, all of Scene 1’s media would be marked as Scene 1-I’d just close the dropdown arrow when I move onto Scene 2. Keywords are just another level of organization to use next to marking favorites. Now I can find favorited clips that are in the interviews scene that contain “smiles,” but I can also see favorited b-roll scenes that contain smiles at the same time.

My issue is I have multiple libraries and inside of each library I have multiple events. I need to know how to locate an event, by name, so I know which library it resides in. Have not been able to figure out how to use the Spotlight search since it will not search inside of a library package on my RAID drive.

Hello! Sorry this comment is not related to the content of the video. I have been experiencing export issues where the QuickTime file is the full duration of the project but, the video is frozen part of the way through and there is no more video/audio for the rest of the file. Is this something others have experienced lately?

Not sure exactly how to use all the categories. I just know that somehow I’m able to edit and put together videos for export. I stopped worrying about these categories a long time ago. Question: if a library is where everything is located do we need more than one?

@ekphotography 3 ай бұрын

I personally do not like to complicate things and just use library for each project, much easier to work with then save when done to an external hard drive with all its media. Events are like Lightroom nightmare catalogs. Hard to dig down and find what is stored inside.

IMO, the one dumbest naming conventions ever. Not intuitive at all. So how/what do you name your Projects (timelines) then? Austria - have you always been there? Good job as always!
