Getting organized makes the difference between getting your project done and getting lost trying to find all the elements you need. In this video tutorial, Larry Jordan takes you through the steps necessary to get your system ready for Final Cut Pro. He start with showing you what folders need to be created on your system, what they are named and what goes into them. From there, he discusses simple file naming conventions and where project files need to be stored. He wraps up with a brief discussion of archiving.
