Folders are your best friend when projects get big. They work just like folders on your computer — organize everything and keep the chaos at bay.
Right-click in the Project panel and hit New Folder. Give it a clear name — “Music,” “Graphics,” “Footage,” whatever makes sense for what goes inside.
Click and drag files into the folder. They stay neatly grouped, but nothing changes in your timeline — they are purely for organization on your end.
You can nest folders inside each other too if you need multiple levels of organization.
Keep a dedicated folder for Precomps. Once you have multiple compositions floating around, it saves you from confusion later.
