Intro

  • File management with any media project is the most important step in post production.
  • Following these steps will save you and your project from unneeded stress and major file corruption.


In the Finder

  • Always make a project folder with your name, project description, and date within the name field Folder Name.png
  • Use safe file and folder naming practices: use text, numbers, and hyphens or underscores. Avoid all other special characters.
  • Copy your folder that contains all your original field recordings into this project folder as well
