Using folders by date is not the best of ideas,<br /> unless the day is relevant to the content of your videos. In my case (for the weather forecasts) I make a folder with the date of the forecast (12 November), inside of it I make sub-folders by categories (weather maps, the forecast, anchors clips, etc. Each sub-folder with its own footage and graphics) All of this is inside another folder, the month (November). All of them are inside a "Master Folder" by the name of the weather channel name "Juracan TV".  It seems confusing, but its quite simple:</p> <ol> <li>Juracan TV (Master Folder)</li> </ol> <ul> <li>November (Folder) <ul> <li>10 November (Sub-Folder) <ul> <li>Weather Maps (Sub-Folder) <ol> <li>United States Radar</li> <li>Atlantic Satellite</li> </ol> </li> <li>Anchor Footage (Sub-Folder)</li> </ul> <ul> <li>  <ol> <li>Take 1</li> <li>Take 2</li> </ol> </li> <li>Forecast (Sub-Folder) <ol> <li>USA Video Clip</li> <li>Atlantic Video Clip</li> <li>Puerto Rico Video Clip</li> </ol> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>I told you that categorizing by date is not a good idea because you will have so many folder of dates and you will rather not remember what was on it. The trick to categorized folders is naming them with something you can remember easily. For example for a short film that is name "Events" you make a master folder name "Events", you keep making sub-folders inside (Footage Sub-Folder, Special Effects Sub-Folder, Music Sub-Folder, etc) and put the clips in their corresponding sub-folders. Put the master folder in My Documents and if the folder is really important put color labels to them. Also, keep your desktop as much clean as possible. I only put files and folders in the desktop for projects that I'm currently editing. After finishing the project I move the files to my documents and clean the desktop for the next projects. </p> <p> I haven't found a software to organize my clips. I think I don't need it but, it will be interesting to see the features.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/organizing-video-clips#post-52315 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 12:24:32 +0000 ellesgaard 52315@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi all!</p> <p>I'm sorry for my english, I'm from a little country called Denmark .

I've heard of AVCHD, which my editing software supports. AVC-HD is probably something similar to AVC MP4, only the fact that it encodes in High-Definition.</p> <p>If AVC (Advanced Video Codec) is not an option, I would recommend trying WMV, which I also had good experience with.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/video-compression-im-not-getting-something#post-46650 Mon, 11 May 2009 05:23:29 +0000 birdcat 46650@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>What I have done is render out MP4 with the following settings:</p> <p>SD: Project settings: <a href="http://video.birdcat.com/mp4-sd-proj.jpg">http://video.birdcat.com/mp4-sd-proj.jpg</a></p> <p>      Video settings: <a href="http://video.birdcat.com/mp4-sd-vid.jpg">http://video.birdcat.com/mp4-sd-vid.jpg</a></p> <p>      Audio settings: <a href="http://video.birdcat.com/mp4-sd-aud.jpg">http://video.birdcat.com/mp4-sd-aud.jpg</a></p> <p>HD: Video settings: <a href="http://video.birdcat.com/mp4-hd-vid.jpg">http://video.birdcat.com/mp4-hd-vid.jpg</a></p> <p>      (Project and Audio settings are the same)</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/video-compression-im-not-getting-something#post-46637 Sun, 10 May 2009 12:24:56 +0000 amereservant 46637@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hey everyone,</p> <p>I came here because I've spent endless hours researching this topic and so far have had no luck.  I've done numerous tests and so far the best I've came up with so far is pretty much the MainConcept AVC/ACC (MP4) Codec, 640 x 360, CBR @ 1,200Kbps for HD video streaming.  I've played with the On2 Flix Pro, QuickTime Pro (mine doesn't have the H.264 option available for some reason), and recently messed with ProCoder 3.  I've encoded the same video using all of them and the ProCoder 3 seems to be slightly better using the H.264 codec, but I'm still not satisfied.  WMV 9 codec in Sony Vegas has by far exceeded all of them, but it's not near as flexible of a format as the flash formats.  </p> <p>What I'm trying to figure out or achieve is video quality like that of Facebook's video.  I'm astounded by the quality of my HD videos when I upload them and Facebook converts them.  </p> <p>Can someone give me some really good and helpful tips for achieving much higher quality video, which codec ranks highest (I'm using Sony Vegas), and what is the best method for a target of around 800Kbps - 1200Kbps datarate streaming video.</p> <p>Whoever solves this riddle for me I will forever be in debt to.  It's hard to believe it's so difficult finding any sort of compression guides online that is targeted for streaming video from one's own web server.</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
