This was sooo helpful. All of my content is just scattered and this is going to help bring me so much peace 🙌🏽🙌🏽 thank you

The way you organize is very similar to how I organize. The templates, trello, etc! I’m not so bad after all 🙃 I am so happy to see this. That an actual youtuber is doing the same thing. The validation that I can actually do this. Hehehe very inspiring. I know this is an old vid but thank you so much.

I’m trying to get organized.This is great info. So glad I found your channel!

Thanks for the info share Philip! Appreciate the great insight as always! I only learned about the Final Cut memory hack last week, and changed my data/content organization significantly, so these tips make all the difference.

this is exactly what I wanted to know about video footage management before I start my vlogging channel. Thank you Philip, super useful and yes, it would be cool to see some of your vlogging videos beside the instructional ones to see who Philip Lemoine is :) TJ_storytelling from Bangkok I watched over 20 of your videos, thanks again!!

Im enjoying and learning nto your channel nice content

[ThePotThickens]

Thanks, Philip. I did pick up a few tips that I will be implementing. I never thought to create a library of headshots. Great idea! Do you use FCP? My final cut library is getting out of control. I would really appreciate seeing how you organize your library, events and projects in there and how you archive them. I suppose I should organize my folders first because I rely on finished projects to copy the things I use in multiple videos.

i think I need a new external harddrive to store my current youtube content. They really pile up! Music + videos + audio.

I think your channel would explode if you did your cooking outside... You re located in Hawaii, right? Why shoot inside an apartment? People need some Aloha feeling, esp. in these strange Covid times😏😉
