frayadjacentIf you're a vidder and you clip, how do you name (and organize?) your clips?
I try to keep my names short and somewhat descriptive, but the descriptions are generic and don't tend to get at why I think the clip might work in my vid. E.g., "TaraWillowHug.mov", but a lot of very different clips with very different uses might fit that description. I'm wondering if there are alternatives.
(My clips used to have names like "BtVS_S6E01_BargainingI_TaraWillowHug.mov". Which is somewhat useful since I know that show really well, so that actually gives me a pretty good idea of what clip I'd be using. But it wouldn't work for most sources, for me, and anyway I mostly end up only seeing the first part of the name in my Finder window.)
(BTW, this is just an example, I'm not vidding BtVS right now.)
