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.
