Ask HN: How do you manage your drone videos?
The proliferation of drones makes me wonder: how do people manage their video library of footage?
How do you find where the footage was taken? Dates? Times? GPS track?
A quick search turned up nothing...but there must be something people are using now. What do you use?
- JSDevOps 2y agoSurely YouTube is a good platform for this.
- speedgoose 2y agoGoogle Photos is good enough for me.
- kawfey 2y agoI just put them, along with all of my other photo/video on a local NAS that's backed up to an offsite and to backblaze. sticking to a consistent file naming method of your choice is the best, but that's entirely based on your needs. Are you collecting footage as a personal archive, are you doing it as a business, or are you using drone footage as b-roll in a youtube video (whether for hobbiest pleasure or for youtube revenue)? to me, any of those cases would have a different naming and file management convention.
- mikewarot 2y agoI'd use the same thing I've been using forever... a little python batch file that creates a folder in the form /archive/2024/20240523/ I keep the folder and file names given by the sequence number in the camera. Any time I modify a file, I always save it with a new, and usually more descriptive, name. Thus I'll end up with files like this /archive/2024/20240523/100D5100/DSC_8341.NEF I've been storing things this way since 1997, I have local and remote backups of the entire /archive tree.
