If you're not using a Final Cut Pro Library Template and/or a Finder Folder Template, you are quite literally wasting time. I know that may sound harsh, but it's true. These templates have allowed me to dramatically shorten the time between finishing filming and starting editing. When inspiration strikes and you hit record on your camera, do you want to get bogged down with all the boring, tedious tasks associated with transferring your footage, setting up folders in Finder to keep things organized, and then building your organization in your Final Cut Pro Library? And if you aren't doing those tedious tasks, are you tired of your media and assets being completely disorganized? Chaos? Time-sucking frustrating that take you out of the creative flow and in a mind-numbing state of technical troubleshooting nightmares?

I'm telling you, these templates will make your life so... much... BETTER.
