My google-fu is completely failing me

We need a database, see.

We’re now using two external hard drives with essentially duplicate folder names but different files. We’ve got complex videos that need to be tagged with multiple subjects, and we’re just not keeping track of them in the way I want – there’s no metadata!

If anyone knows of any preexisting solution (besides editshare, the expensive package we’ll be moving to some time next year), let me know!

    It’s not much, but it’s a start. Sorry I couldn’t find anything better.

  2. Weeelll–

    Most of the dbs I know about are for images, rather than videos. VireoCat is free, I think, and we use IRIS (not free.) What’s most likely to affect your choice is what your data authorities are.

    I would advise, however, that if you’re going to be moving to another package in the future, that you set something up that uses similar fields and ids, and the same platform. Extensive migration experience indicates that this is a good way to go.
