It still wasnРІР‚в„ўt 100% what i was looking for though, ideally i wanted to be able to see thumbnails of all of my footage and be able to search for specific shots via keywords. This definitely has some value and did save me a ton of time when i needed to access an archived project. Now i can access all of my footage for reference purposes on my laptop or desktop. I then copied the drive database that the catalog maker created and uploaded it to my google drive storage.

Speaking to an editor friend, he recommended that i download Disk Catalog Maker.Р”Р„fter downloading, i scanned my 10 external hard drives and voila! I was able to search and see every video production project i had created content for over the past decade or so. There are quite a few apps out there that will scan the files on your external drives so that you can still search them even when the drive is offline. I wanted to be able to do the following:Р”Р‡inding a suitable app that was geared to video wasnРІР‚в„ўt as easy as i initially thought. So i decided to get on top of things and catalogue my raw video footage. I have been fairly meticulous in my organisation of client projects, labelling the folders and sub folders in an identifiable way so that i can find them within a few minutesРІР‚В¦ Ok that was a bit of a white lie, sometimes i found them in a few minutes, but most of the time, finding a specific shot could take anywhere between 5 minutes to 2 hours РІР‚вЂњ not ideal!Р”Р„s time went by and more and more video projects were archived and backed up, the organisation was not what it was in those early years. From day one, my video footage has been slowly filling up external hard drives, sitting in the office collecting digital dust in the form of ones and zeros. During my career, i have produced 1000РІР‚в„ўs of hours.

Having an organised footage library that has searchable keywords will make finding that shot much more manageable and claw back those valuable minutes in each day.Р”Р„s a freelance DOP / camera operator, I produce hundreds of hours of raw footage over the course of a year. When it comes time to refresh that showreel or find specific shots a client is requesting, finding those specific shots from the last few years over a range of external hard drives can be painful and very time consuming. To catalogue your raw video production footage in an easily accessible way can save you hundreds of hours of productivity over the course of a few years.
