Re: [Avid-L2] Bin naming conventions

 

I name and number all my bins sequentially.

00_Edit Sequence
01_Edit Work Bin
02_Raw Footage

etc...

Main thing tho - *only the current sequence* is in the "Edit Sequence" bin.
All other old versions, alts, etc. live in the "Work Bin".

And all my sequences are named like this:

XXXX_CCN_Project-Name_Version_YYYYMMDD

XXXXX equals the project number
Then the 3 letter Client ID code
The Project Name
The Project version
The date created

As far as handling the management of elements at the "finder" level, I
highly recommend this:

Awesome program.
