    Organization Issues

    Posted by Sarah Harding on January 26, 2011 at 9:08 pm

    Hiya,

    I’ve been hired to create instructional videos for a software company and I’m having some organizing issues. Instead of working with footage, EDLs and script continuity logs, I’m using numerous programs on both Mac and PC to create content, something that I’m not used to doing. I could really use some advice on how to create some kind of log or database that will help me keep track of the many different files. Because my client is constantly making changes, I also need to come up with a way to keep track of the multiple versions of a single project and all of the different variations within them.

    Any advice you could give me is much appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Sarah

    Media Batch?

    While Media Batch looks very impressive, it’s quite expensive. I was thinking more along the lines of an Excel template or log book layout ideas. Thanks though!

    Have a look at Gridiron Flow. It appears to be designed for the purposes of tracking big projects with multiple graphics and animations.
