Pain Points
- Manual folder setup for each project wastes hours.
- Inconsistent naming and organization across team members.
- Asset duplication and confusion slow down delivery.
- Onboarding freelancers is difficult without a clear folder system.
Folder Structure Standards
- Numbered, prefixed folders (e.g., 01_Footage, 02_Audio) keep order and match editing workflows.
- Shallow hierarchies—no more than three levels—reduce navigation time.
- Each file has one correct home; avoid duplicate locations.
- Raw source media is always separated from working files and exports.
- Project root covers all phases: pre-production, production, footage, audio, project files, graphics, VFX, exports, admin.
- Photo workflows use date-based folders (YYYY-MM-DD_description) under year/month for scalability.
- An Ingest folder stages new media, with consistent naming for handoff and collaboration.
- Templates—via CSV or scripting—ensure every client project is structured the same way.
