Organization time
Clear naming speeds things up
Clear filenames, versions, and purposes mean the production team spends less time guessing.
GUIDE / SOURCE FILES
Prepare your files so editing can start on day one.
It is not about having more files, but ensuring others know what is usable, which is the final version, and what cannot be shared.
Buyer question：What files should be prepared before handing over to an editor?
Prepare at least: usable raw footage, final script, brand logo/colors, 2–3 references, deadline, and known licensing restrictions.

A good fit if…
- ✦Already have screen recordings, interviews, product assets, or stock footage
- ✦Ready to hand over for editing or compositing
- ✦Want to reduce time spent searching for files
Not a fit if…
- ✦Sending a pile of unnamed files
- ✦Including passwords, keys, or sensitive personal information in the asset package
- ✦Unsure if you have the rights to share the assets

Usability
Corrupted or low-res assets are limited
Files that cannot be opened, have watermarks, or are over-compressed may require alternatives.
Reshoots or additional work
Missing key shots changes the scope
Online projects do not include live-action; missing content must be solved with existing assets or digital visuals.
How to start
Follow these three stepsto begin the project.
- STEP 01
Create a folder
Categorize by 'Raw Footage, Script, Brand, References, Licensing'.
- STEP 02
Mark the final version
Do not name multiple versions 'final'; clearly state the usable version.
- STEP 03
Write a note
Tell the other party which clips must be used and which must not be used.
Risks to know first
State uncertainty before work begins.
Missing licensing
Music, people, screenshots, and third-party logos may have usage restrictions.
Sensitive data leak
Do not include accounts, client data, or unreleased information in unnecessary assets.
Version confusion
Freeze a final script before delivery to avoid constant subtitle changes.
Next step
Start with one clear action.
VQOS / BUSINESS
Larger projects. A procurement process that fits.
Discuss business-to-business contracting, milestone payments, confidentiality and rights before production.
