The Megabyte Method Demonstration Series Part 1: File Gathering
The Megabyte Method is a new approach to organizing digital photo and video collections. It is so different that many people are skeptical of it. So, I decided that the best way to get people’s attention was to record my screen while organizing a collection so that people would be able to watch a video of me working.
This article and the corresponding video include different information, so it is best to read the article first. The link to the video is at the end of the article.
I hope you have watched previous videos and read previous articles about the Megabyte Method, as they will help you understand the demonstrations.
About the Megabyte Method Demonstration Collection
The collection I will be working with in the Megabyte Method Demonstration Video Series is a scaled-down version of a large and complex collection I organized for a client a few years ago.
The project specifications are included in this document because without clear specifications, one cannot appreciate the necessity of many project tasks. Specifications are always part of the agreement between myself and my client.
Introducing the Megabyte Method
The Megabyte Method is a workflow for organizing digital photo and video collections.
It’s the result of many years of researching, experimenting, and testing different software and methods. Every aspect of the Megabyte Method has been developed to help professional photo organizers work smarter, not harder, and be more successful.
The Megabyte Method Demonstration Video Series will document the organization of a digital photo and video collection. The demo collection is about 70% of a real collection I organized for a client a few years ago.
