Organisation in FCP

There are several ways to organise files.

 One of those ways is to rename the file to something of your choosing.
 Another way is create bins, by doing this you can create specific bins to place specific files in.

 Another option is to do log notes.
 By doing log notes you can describe which files are best, this is helpful when you have multiple takes of the same scene.
 Another option is to add labels that are colour coded.

 With the column tabs you can rearrange them to your preferences.
