How to Media Manage Your Timelapse Footage

Preface Note: Because of the nature of asset structure with timelapses, the process outlined below is ONLY used for timelapse media management.

Media management to me, is a lot like accounting. It isn’t the most fun thing to do but is fundamental to the success of your business. Having a well established system and way of doing things is critical. Because of the large file sizes of RAW images, you will want to have a solid workflow to ensure that you keep your clips organized and cataloged. Especially when shooting timelapses, staying organized and having a system that allows you to easily find assets will make your life much easier down the line. What I want to do with this post is walk through how I manage my timelapse footage. One thing to note is that there are many approaches to this – the key is having a system that works for you and your team. - said Preston on Vimeo -
