Organizing your footage is so important in editing because editors go through hundreds of clips a day, and without labels and bins, it would be extremely difficult to find a clip, therefore prolonging the editing process. When looking for a certain clip, it makes it a lot easier when you know exactly what bin to go to and what the clip should be titled, because there's no time spent rewatching files to find the right one. I think the video did a good job at breaking down the logistics behind the bins you create, and how it's a virtual folder structure that isn't actually organizing the files on your desktop. Another topic I found helpful was the idea of slating, and how labeling shots by their title and take with a marker makes it easier to organize post production. I also thought it was interesting that you can add a color to each clip, so that they're organized by the type of shot like dialogue, cut aways, and audio.
