Managing files.
WHAT TO KEEP
Original footage Edited versions Thumbnails and related assets
WHERE
Not only on the device that recorded it.
Video files are large and devices fail.
WHAT TO BACK UP
At minimum, the edited versions.
Original footage too, if re-editing is likely.
HOW TO ORGANISE
By date and subject.
Named so you can find them.
WHAT NOT TO DO
Rely on the platform as your archive Keep the only copy on a phone
THE PLATFORM POINT
A platform account lost or a video removed takes your content with it.
FOR STORAGE COST
Video consumes substantial space.
Cloud storage, or an external drive.
WHAT TO DELETE
Footage you will never use.
Being selective keeps storage manageable.
WHAT TO RECORD
What each video is, when it was made, where it is published.
WHAT THAT ENABLES
Finding and reusing content later.
