How to Preserve Disk Space for Video Post-Production

Video Transcript

TRAVIS JOHNS: Hi. I'm Travis Johns with Expert Village, and I'm going to talk to you about managing disk space. At the end of a project, obviously, you're going to have a lot of files that you're going to do to archive off but the disk space itself needs to be designated for certain things. What that means is you want to make sure that certain drives are allocated for certain types of media so when you're archiving things off, it's not going to get all mixed up. One thing you want to do to maintain the stability of your drives is defragging. Defragging your drives is very important to maintain the stability of your computer overall. If your disks are unstable, they could crash, you could lose information and then you could be in really big trouble. So, make sure at the very end of a project, once you've archived everything off and you're trying to free up some space, you've gotten rid of the necessary files that you need, but now you go through and you defrag your drives to make sure that they can be reset to a more stable state. Obviously, at the end of the project after that's complete, you want everything to be as it was before so for the next project, everything is in working order.
