where are you selling your footage?
i got tired of the 4 month review queue at videohive
responding the original question, here is my filesystem, which i try to keep it as simple as possible:
View attachment 85257
-per year
--cl stands for "clients"
--dji-XX-project name (this are personal projects)
i have an external 2tb hd where i copy all photos/videos from the sd card. then i copy all files again to a temporary folder in my computer, where i review each file and do a first filtering, i delete all choppy clips, black photos, etc. once those files are filtered i copy them to the above folder.
then i do a sencond filtering when editting the photos in lightroom or videos in premier. from my hard drive i delete all files im not using. for example for a photo session i shoot about 100 pictures but i only keep 20-25 (remember i have a backup)
finally at the end of the year i copy the whole year directory to a new hd as a second backup, only for editted files
pretty simple
