Hey everyone,
I'm interested in making skateboarding videos. But this goes for any project with lots of footage. In skateboarding you shoot a lot of footage, mostly where skaters don't land their tricks. Sometimes there is memorable stuff happening in these clips, so you want to hold on to them. I guess this also goes for movies, where you do a lot of different takes with different emotions etc. Point is, you end up with a lot of footage that you may or may not need in a project.
I keep my footage on an external hard drive, but my computer has an ssd which is a lot faster for editing and I like to have footage in the same place as the project. But I would rather not copy all the footage to my ssd for space reasons, but I do want access to all the clips. What would you recommend, working from my ext hard drive? Or copying it bit by bit to my ssd and preselect which footage I do and do not want.
And what do you guys do when having a project where you have a lot of footage.
Thanks,
Regards
Toon
