naming convention for clips

It depends on your team. If you are asst editing, you need to ask the editor. If your are sharing a project, be as spacific but short as possible. If your a one man band, just use keywords you'll know later. I have labled clips wtf, lol, omg and groovy freakin milf. I've known at a glace what all of em were.

My own preference is to use the shot # straight from the slate. 44B3, 44-B-3, or 44_B_3 for example. As the editor, I'll usually remember that A is the master shot, that B is Ben's CU, etc.

I use scenalyzer to batch capture trim and delete all all the clips then i re name them and edit them in my application

I save tons of hours by using scenalyzer to and log and pre edit. scenalyzer is a destructive process style where you trim,cut and delete and the original is reflects those changes. it also saves a lot of space on your hd

check it out its dirt cheap but very powerful
