Case Study: Video Production

Sabrina

The situation

Sabrina persues a career in media design, and works for a large company that produces TV and radio ads.

The challenge

Sabrina’s company has to manage many projects at the same time. They keep all footage uncompressed on external hard drives. It is difficult for Sabrina and her team to remember where they’ve stored specific files.

Our recipe for success

The concept of "stores" in liquidFOLDERS is very helpful for Sabrina and her company. liquidFOLDERS doesn’t work like a search engine that just links to files in the Windows file system. Instead, liquidFOLDERS stores contain your actual files.

Icons for internal and external stores

There are three kinds of stores: internal stores, external stores and hybrid stores. Internal stores reside on internal harddrives and are always available. External and hybrid stores are created on external drives like USB thumb drives or flash memory cards.

Additionally, hybrid stores remain searchable even when they are not connected to the computer! This is achieved by maintaining not only an index on the external drive, but also a local index copy on the computer.

This feature of liquidFOLDERS is exactly what Sabrina needs. When she begins to work on a new project, she connects a new external drive and creates a store. She selects "hybrid store", so a copy of the store index is maintained on her local drive. Sabrina can then search that store even while the drive is not connected to the PC, saving her team valuable time. Why don’t you use liquidFOLDERS to find your files?
