So principal photography just wrapped on episode one of a series I am involved with. The number of clips (takes) from 5 cameras and 4 drones is mind boggling. This is a remote production with raw footage going by satellite to LA for editing and post production. Needless to say, I end up with terabytes of footage, and a lot of it is useless. There is no way it can all get to the dirt-side team so I have to rough cut before uploading it which takes an insane amount of time. Not only that, I end up with reams of files (sub clips) and need to keep the camera raw files (just in case, you know). I am new to this. Can anyone share their file organizing experience/expertise? There must be some kind of trick to this.

Day / Camera / Card (A001, C003, etc) and sometimes a subfolder indicating what is on the clip or group of clips (Brandy's Interview). That's what I do.
