What Is Media Management?
Media management is a term used for several related tasks throughout post-production.
In general, any task that relates to processing your media is considered to be media
management, such as capturing, compressing, copying, moving, or deleting media files.
However, media management also refers to keeping track of your media files via clip
properties such as notes, comments, scene number, shot/take number, and so on.
