There are multiple DVD folders because the process of making a DVD involves those different steps. By starting each folder with “DVD”, they are all grouped together automatically in the list.

Lables = Tape and DVD labels, or replication labels

Logs = Tape logs provided by producers. That can be a FCP project file or an excel document.

Scrips = The actual script for the video. We sometimes copy and paste CG information from the document directly.

Audio = Sonicfire Pro (a stock music program)

As for the workflow itself, I'm actually almost done writing a post that goes into great detail on how we handle everything from start to finish, so keep a eye out for that. Should be up in another week or so.

Thanks for your question.

I don't get the usage for each folder. Maybe 'cause I'm German, but I would really appreciate a litte explanation for every folder and every FCP-folder.

And I'd like to know where you store your MediaFiles. For some time I abandoned the FCP Capture Scratch and save my footage inside the project folder. How do you store your media in relation to the project?

Greetings
Gregor

As I'm writing, where do you store your Media-Files? For a while I tend to ignore the FCP-Capture Scratch and import my tapeless media into the project folder. What's your file-storage?

I'll pass it along to many. I think we may want to add a link on the CHIFCPUG website. I'll bring it up at our next board mtg. This article rings true to me. I have always tried to stay organized, buy my methods have changed, and frankly not consistently. Your template folder is great, and I will look it over and seriously consider using it, or a derivative. I also like how you must start each project with a template project that sets the bin structure. Nice time saver. Particularly good when you start using it a few times, I'm sure, 'cause you know where to look for the items. Keep the articles flowing. Thanks so much. Question: I watched Jeff's ITunes video tutorial. What screen capture program are you using? What is it encoding to... looks fantastic! Keith Dadey Tom,
