A tip for RUclipsrs, make a template of file structure where it's just the skeleton, no data and every time you start a new video, copy the template. That way you don't have to set up file structure over and over again.
The quality of this video is on par with someone with hundreds of thousands of subscribers. I assume this gentleman must be very busy, because he would be killin it on this platform if he released more videos. Very good, and thanks for sharing your system. Seems clear you know what you're doing.
We just came back from a 4-month trip and shot 5-TB of video files and have been searching for the best way to organize all of our assets, this is exactly what we needed. THANK YOU.
I love it!!! Even though I'm just a serious mature, even amatures need to get organized, and I just ran into the "where's the beef", moment, only it's "where's the shot I did last year in Sedona, that I really need now to try and put a band aid on some of this "new" Sedona footage.? Ok, so I really like how you did this. I do have Premiere Pro, so I'll check out some of your advanced articles on the scratch files, etc. Thank you so much for sharing some of your expertise on all of this. P.S. I almost laughed out loud when you zoomed out on that huge picture of all the files, to where you couldn't even read them any more. I can truly identify with that. Marc T.
Now that I have posted several comments hopefully others don't feel that I'm being a hog in the comments section but my attention span is crap and I truly appreciate the quality of content the quality alone had me come back several times to finish the video since I struggle to watch things like this all at once because of the length of the content. Thank you so very much Alexander for doing such a stellar job at putting this together and even though 19 + minutes seems long it really isn't for everything that you covered so quickly to be assisted to anyone doing hours-long projects, and I very much appreciate that you use your life experience and advice making suggestions which is a added bonus so I hope someone sees this and it continues to encourage them to watch the video or to keep watching your content because the quality alone is totally worth it. Thank you so much for bringing your expertise life experience creativity and intelligence to the world through your RUclips content. Cheers! From your latest subscriber💖
My god, I have been editing for years like a scrublord apparently. After watching this video I went back through and consolidated all of my videos, assets, and completely changed how I perform my editing. Editing is just a hobby, but looking at the pile of wires (forgive the analogy) I was using was giving me stress. Which is not something you want out of a hobby lol. Thank you for making this video!
WHAT THE FUCK??? You have only a few hundred of subscribers? I was thinking that you were a huuuuge youtuber (although you really are, but... you guys got it). I can't belive... THAK'S SOOO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR VIDEOS! A BIG HUGE FROM BRASIL! P.s.: If you create a member area or something like that, i will be pleasure to contribute with that work so well produced!
Okay indeed, Alexander, the way your video opened is the most effective advertising ever and is going to keep me likely tuning in out of sheer curiosity to see what type of information you've included. Making this funny has already helped me feel less alone, and less like I'm losing my freaking mind when I'm looking for files and trying to organize them! - Quite likely with your tips which I am highly looking forward to using after you teach me. Thanks for intelligent and effective marketing that has made me laugh and feel more sane all the same time! Thanks Alexander!😄
I've spent waaaay too much time trying to find specific advice on recurring assets, THANK YOU for including that part in the video. The funny thing is that your suggestion is what I've been doing, which reminded me to not over-complicate things and that if it ain't broke don't fix it. Thanks again, very solid explanation!
Yes keep it simple is great, especially for solo creators. But piggybacking off this comment, I think there's a helpful distinction to make between the type of recurring assets you would include in basically EVERY project (which you would include in the template folder like video suggestion), and the type of not-so-often-but-still-recurring asset you include FREQUENTLY e.g. an editing resources folder, which becomes more like a library over time and might be too big to duplicate for every single project. This second scenario would be more common for small teams with a shared library of assets, or someone who uses a LOT of space-expensive extra assets repeatedly e.g. large b-roll clips or visual effects. However, as storage gets cheaper, this scenario will probably become rarer for smaller creators, as the simplicity of reducing/collecting all files for a project to archive outweighs any space saving benefits.
Thanks, Alexander. Loved this tutorial. Clear, simple, and to the point. I've been losing my mind will all my assets. I'm going to organize my four RUclips video assets before continuing forward. If you are looking for another video idea topic, I could use guidance on how to organize videos on our phones (iPhone). We all have many takes of video clips and photos for social media, and I don't know what to do with footage I don't use and footage I do use. It's taking up space in my phone. Transferring video data is also challenging when your phone is taken up by so much data.
Ok, 39 seconds in, and I just have to hit pause because I'm laughing my rear end off and it's so true. Hope the rest of this video is as good as the open!
I have a lot of footages from years ago because I love to take videos. What stops me from editing these videos are it's such an absolute horror for me to find out and start categorising everything into one big folder. Might as well find a day to organise my videos :D Thanks Alex!
I wached that video , its pretty awesome!!! keep the greate job, you gonna get big in youtube!!!!!! this is the first time im gonna hit the notification bell!!
That's one of the best videos on managing video assets on RUclips! Love it! So clearly explained and very helpful. Totally answered my problems. Please keep up the amazing work. Thanks!
Great video !! Please share more tips and comments on how you organize your stuff ! I love the advanced tips and the little text specifications on whether different file formats can be deleted/rejigged/etc.
Omg thank you so much you are a life saver! Sat down to finally start editing today and realized my files are everywhere. Was getting stressed organizing it and this has helped a lot.
Thank you so much for your insight! When I started editing films, a friend suggested the following structure for each project that I use to this day: VIDEO PROJECT NAME: __ INPUT (with videos, music files, logos, ... sometimes separated by individual subfolders, depending on the amount of files) __ PREMIERE FILE (=edit data) __ OUTPUT (final video(s), thumbnails) But because of your video, I think I might make some adjustments :) // I was wondering how you would go about structuring footage that you are likely to use for several different video editing projects in the future. So, let's say I shoot footage over a span of a year or more (several events, e.g.) and I don't plan on making just one final video out of it. But instead I will edit some of the footage this month. And then I will reuse some of the footage as well as other footage for another video in two months, and then reuse some of it again for another video project next year, ... You get the idea. Would you put the footage in a separate folder (using suitable subfolders) OUTSIDE of any project folders and keep it there and then just refer to this separate footage folder once you start editing a new video? Or would you copy and paste the footage for every new editing? Thanks in advance!
Hay thanks for this was useful as I begin setting up a new machine. However - maybe you can help dive a little deeper, you covered the 'General Assets' however in the style of video I am editing (outdoor adventures) I have alot of B-Roll type stuff that can be used periodically in just about any final project. So my question lies in how to organize this style of footage so it is more easily retrievable. Let me give an example - ' hay that shot of me paddling that canoe in whitecaps' would look good here.' now, what project had that in it again? Thanks in advance.
Hey! man! Thank you for the great video! One question... how would approach the folder structures if you work with Da Vinci Resolve (Or capcut) that doesn't let you save each project file on a different location? (They work with their own folder where it holds the project files, proxies, etc)
This is great and such an overlooked skill set. I do the same thing with even fewer folders. I label mine as such date client project. (V). (P) (A). Within those folders I have duplicated the names and inserted an E, and an R, into the parenthese this allows me to distinguish between a RAW and edited. Usually my a folder just stands for audio and assets, as I don’t usually fill up too many things in those. Lastly, I create a folder in parentheses (PJT. ) that’s where any of my project files live all within one folder ecosystem. I do a lot of multimedia stuff, so I always have about photography and video music audio and sound.
OMG, Alexander!! Thank you for this video!! I think this is the BEST video on organizing assets I've ever seen! Super concise, entertaining and what a great editor you are. If you ever have time, please make more. Much thanks!! 😘😘😘
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been searching for this answer for 5+ Years. I was constantly using multiple hard drives with assets all over the place and over organizing each section made it so frustrating every time I would need to find something.
Oh my goodness, this is exactly what I need help with. I've been recording videos on my phone(s) and have such a hard time keeping them all accessable when needed.
Why you've stopped making videos regularly? loved the way you explained entire process so smoothly keeping us fully engaged. It was entertaining too specially the end. Please start again, want to see more videos from you! 😇
Editing is always so dreadful for me because of this bottleneck that it has become due to poor file organization. Thanks for sharing your system! I want to experiment with having a library of footage that I have gone through and renamed with accurate descriptive keywords so that when I'm looking for a type of shot I can just search for it in the file explorer.
That is such an amazing video. Not sure if relevant, but have you ever thought of setting up a RAID for all of your assets? Long shot of hoping for a reply, but how often do you reuse assets from past videos? Do you keep duplicates for some projects?
Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, I have thought quite a bit about switching to a RAID array. Currently, I have everything on either 2 or 4 TB drives (the huge stack I hold up in the video) with everything backed up in triplicate: every project gets backed up from my scratch SSD to one hard drive once its done, then I periodically copy that whole drive bit-for-bit to two more separate drives using a program called Beyond Compare (a little pricey, but totally worth it since you'll probably use it forever) so I end up with three identical drives, for a total of three copies of everything, which guards against physical drive failure. That system has been working fine for the most part, but it gets a little clunky, since I can end up having two or three drives plugged in at once if I need to reference lots of older material. Since shooting this video, I've picked up enough commercial work to make editing my full-time job (hence no new videos in a while!), and with all that data being generated faster and faster, I'm planning on buying a proper NAS (probably Synology's 8-bay model) fairly soon and keep a "live" copy of everything on there in addition to having physically separate "dead" backups on smaller drives. The Synology software allows for drive parity, so you can rebuild lost data in the event of a drive failure. As for recurring assets, it really depends on what I'm doing. For RUclips videos in particular, I have a habit of referencing past videos a lot, which sounds cool when I write it, but makes me hate myself in editing! When I'm doing lots of commercial projects for the same client and I know I'll be using the same logos, graphics, assets, etc. over and over again, I always make a "Common Assets" folder like I mentioned in the video so that I can just reference those files for every project instead of copying them over and over again for each new project. Hope that helps! Happy editing!
@@alexanderbehne606 Thank you so much for your answer. A NAS could potentially work well with the Beyond Compare (which I don't think it is pricey for what it offers).

Happy editing!
Good video Alexander! I've learned at school another folder structure, which is quite similar to yours. Mine is like: the first folder is the name of the project. In that folder are 6 other folders, named: Audio, Def. Exports, Footage, Music, Premiere(folder where your project file goes in) and Scratch. That's all. I saw people doing the exports in one big folder and adding a date like "projectname_8032022" because the video was released at march 8th 2022 for example.
Lots of good information here. Question: When you say to keep all files related to a project in one folder, let's say you have some generic footage that you use in multiple different projects. Do you make a separate copy of that into each project folder?
Wondering how the "edit data" folder would work if using Resolve for projects. Resolve has a project database, not traditional project files like Premiere. Good tutorial, thanks for sharing your process!
Nice Video! Thx a lot, would be nice seen an update video about how to organize files with Premiere Production, even how to make it work if you use AE files with Premiere.... Im digging for this kinda of content and is not easy to find... Thx a lot!
Awesome video and super helpful. I don't know if I missed it or not, but where would you typically store the rendered files from the project? Also, do you ever clean out raw footage that wasn't used or delete old rendered revisions to save on storage space? Thanks in advance!
Hey Alexander. Thank you for your video. I have a question regarding the Motion Graphics Template Media in my project folder. Within this folder, I noticed several subfolders with the extension .aegraphic. However, I have realized that not all of these mogrts are actually being used in the project. Could you please advise on how to delete these unnecessary files?
Alexander Behne - How to you organize screenshots and saved video clips? >>> Example: You save someones tiktok video because you want it for a visual reminder for future content you want to make. Or maybe you saved a screenshot of a website layout or an intstagram picture because you want to copy it a little for your next project. How do you organize big data files like that?

Awesome video and super helpful. I don't know if I missed it or not, but where would you typically store the rendered files from the project? Also, do you ever clean out raw footage that wasn't used or delete old rendered revisions to save on storage space? Thanks in advance!
The rendered file was with the folder group at the bottom.
At 7:18 you showed a map, I could hear the name. Can you explain what that is?
Great Video!!
: Fantastic-video, super-helpful. For the gratitude.
Great Stuff - Thank you SO MUCH!
Useful! Thanks.
Hey Alexander. Thank you for your video. I have a question regarding the Motion Graphics Template Media in my project folder. Within this folder, I noticed several subfolders with the extension .aegraphic. However, I have realized that not all of these mogrts are actually being used in the project. Could you please advise on how to delete these unnecessary files?
I LOVE THIS!!!
Alexander Behne - How to you organize screenshots and saved video clips? >>> Example: You save someones tiktok video because you want it for a visual reminder for future content you want to make. Or maybe you saved a screenshot of a website layout or an intstagram picture because you want to copy it a little for your next project. How do you organize big data files like that?
...The one folder structure to rule them all! Hahaha!😄
