If you name your file “final.mp4”, you are creating problems
This happens to me every day. I ask editors to: - use Frame.io - name files properly Still, I get this: One editor sends: final1.mp4 Another sends: finalll.mp4 Now I have to: - open both files - watch both - figure out which version is which - rename them myself - then decide where to upload This is not editing work. This is cleanup work. And it kills trust. Here’s the truth: Bad file naming tells me: - you don’t follow systems - you don’t think ahead - you make life harder for the client Clients don’t care how good your edit is if working with you feels messy. This is why tools like Frame.io exist. Not for fun. For clarity. One link. Clear versions. Clear comments No confusion. If you don’t name files properly,you are telling the client: “You manage this, not me.” And no one wants that. Professional editors don’t say “final”.They say: - (name)v1 - (name)v2 - (name)revised - (name)approved Simple. Clean. Clear. Editing is not just visuals.Editing is process. And process is what gets you paid more.
