Quote - How do I arrange a playlist file and what suffix should be at the end of its name?

 

when i render my AVI scenes i save them in a file tree like this: 

File(Name of movie)

   >sub Folder- saved models scenes.

  > Sub Folder - Saved AVI scene

  > Sub folder -  Sound files

  >Sub Folder > Movie editer file.

 

Then in my Saved avi sub folder I save the AVI movies and name them like this

" Scene 01 -  3 seconds"

"Scene 02 - 12 seconds"

"Scene 03 - 5 seconds"

I save them and name them like this because of a couple of reasons . first  is when i drop my video file into Adobe Premiere which is what i use  my video eidtor it automaticly saves the avi files in order becauase I already named them in order starting with the name of the sceen #

 Also adding the time leanth to the name of your Avi allow you to find it easier in the time line and lets you know what youe time frame your working with. So if you need to go back and edit or remake that animation over it will be easier to work around ,

also when you start putting your movie together its much easier if you have them all named in the series you'll need them. So if you name them with the sceen # first you will know where you are at in the movie timeline when your edting your flim

I hope that helps good luck
