Here is my video editing workflow when it comes to video project file management. Having a good file structure is extremely important when editing video especially larger projects with multiple kinds of files and cameras.

You can DOWNLOAD my FREE file structure here: https://gumroad.com/andriklangfield

In this tutorial, I will show you what each folder contains and why I've built it the way I have. I'll then show you how to import the file structure with your footage into your editing software. I'll be using Davinci Resolve, but most editing software work very similarly. I've timestamped below the chapters for your convenience.
