[TD="class: gd_m"]Hi
Working on a project that is quickly getting out of hand because of the number of files involved and because I am doing all my color correction and grading in after effects.

What are the best practices in organizing larger projects?

One global project, or many smaller ones?
Bins, how many and what should their names be?
Sequences, how to name?
Raw footage, is it really necessary to rename your raw footage with unique and-or descriptive names?
Dynamic linked projects, should you name your AE projects the same as the corresponding PPro projects?
Linked comps, rename them to match sequence names?

Have a lot bins but name them appropriately so that you access them quickly. With clips, have a bin for master clips and a bin for subclips. Have a bin for AE exports and imports. If you dividing clips into scenes, make individual sequences for each scene and name them accordingly. Make sure to have a master sequence for the overall project. Rename your raw footage so that you don't get confused by the output name the camera gives you. That can become confusing real quick. I would name my AE projects that same as my Premiere Pro projects for organizational purposes. Here go to this link: http://conigs.com/posthaste/
