![]() This takes time, especially setting up for the first time but I create Keyword Collections in the Songs library for the different genres of music or specifically for the various parts of the wedding day, for example the pre-ceremony songs, ceremony, reception, etc.After importing the songs, I consolidate the library so I can access it from anywhere on any editing computer. The library sits in that same Songs Dropbox folder. I created a FCP Library called “Songs”.Within those folders are the months, i.e., 01, 02, etc. All my purchased music is downloaded to a “Songs” folder on Dropbox.Here’s my process for keeping track of licensed music: With one-at-a-time purchases now common of the internet, they go to the drive as well.Īll pretty obvious stuff, so maybe not that helpful… aif files and kept these on a separate Music drive. The more popular stuff of these we actually backed up a lot onto. We have subscribed to stock music for many years, the bulk of which was CDs, so THAT was easy to organize. □ As I was just writing that, in the meantime, I think I might instead use Apple’s color tags to note favorite tracks, or to organize by mood (blue for calm, yellow for happy/upbeat, for example). In the future, I’d like to have a database that I could sort by genre or mood, but that sounds like *a lot* of work. ![]() I also add a copy of that song title folder to my Project’s folder after I have the final edit, just as a “safety net” backup. Inside the song title folder, I have the WAV files and a PDF of the license. I currently have a Production Music folder organized by service (Artlist, MotionArray, PremiumBeat, etc) and then subfolders labeled with “Song Title – Composer,” in case I want to find similar tracks by that artist. Success with your shows, I like them a lot. This way they are also accessible from within FCP.
