Linking Footage

TV/VIDEO TEAM

Many times, TV/Video jobs can request the use of existing footage. Projects utilize existing footage when there is not enough time or money in the budget to shoot new footage. In these cases, a project file should link to the footage in its original location. The footage should not be copied and placed within the new project. There is no limit to the amount of footage linked to a project.

When a job uses only existing footage, there is no need to create a footage folder in the project set-up on the server.

Linking to Logos

On the root directory of the video server, there is a folder labeled “Logos.” Within that folder are various formats of corporate and community logos. The collection includes combo and trio logos.

All logos used in jobs should be linked to this folder. Logos should not be copied and placed into individual projects.

NOTICE: If you notice that you need is not in the logos folder, please reach out to Danielle Bourassa so that the logo can be added to the collection.
