    Katie - I just want to take a moment to say you’re a total gem! Your UA-cam videos are soooo incredibly thoughtful, well articulated and helpful. I’ve been naturally binging your content during my time off on maternity leave - because while I’ve been creating for a long time now… I’m ready to finally take my channel and business to the next level. Your videos have been a blessing! Thank you 💙💙

    Can't recommend this strongly enough. A couple pointers from someone who wasn't disciplined (and worked with undisciplined team members):
    -rename, tag, and file everything immediately. The more disciplined you can be about this, the better. You think future you will have more time to take care of this, but nope.
    -try to think how future you, and potential team members, will be looking to access media. Keep that in mind as you rename files. Katie laid out such a great approach here. I've had colleagues who insisted on naming files according to which camera/phone they used to record. Total nightmare for later. Impossible to find media without scrubbing through hundreds of hours of video or audio.

    @amberristow Рік тому

    Hey Katie - this video is SUPER helpful. I'm starting a blog and with that has also come content creation. The storing of videos feels so overwhelming for me and I have been dying to know how others are doing it. This was great. I follow similar practices as you for my camera roll and I also use Google Photos. One question I have for you is about your cloud storage - Google Photos. What do you do when you have a scenario where the photo/video isn't on your phone anymore and it's out in Google Photos. How do you find it? What I've found is that when I organize albums in my phone and add things to those albums - it's great. But then when/if I need to free up phone storage and I get rid of the internal stuff - it's a pain because unless I ALSO organize the Google Photos (which sounds like a nightmare TBH) everything is just in chronological order in the cloud... the photos and videos are out there, but not in the organized albums I had on the internal storage. Searchable, yes, but still not as easily used. Just wondering your take on this and what you might do to keep your cloud feeling as tidy as your camera roll??? Thanks!

    • @katie
      @katie  Рік тому +1

      so the actual footage is not being moved anywhere when it is imported into Premiere Pro - Premiere Pro is just accessing/generating previews of it it from my hard drive (this is why you may notice if you move your clips from one folder to the next, Premiere Pro will need you to re-link that media, because it loses track of it) And the project file itself, as well as the auto-saves - I have set to save to my external hard drive as well :)

There are so many, the scripting, making a thumbnail, etc. They can look so hard to be doing for beginners.
    Anyway, thank you for you work which is so helpful, I cannot wait to binge your content 🤤🥰
