Move projects in and find older edits without scrolling. ![Three folders of vertical clips, sorted by episode, by creator and by format. Folder names are illustrative.](https://blitzreels.com/images/changelog/a-home-for-every-project.jpg) ## One long list stops working After a few months of regular uploads, the projects page turns into a long scroll of thumbnails. Last week’s episode sits next to a client edit from March and a test you forgot to delete. Finding the right project can take longer than the fix you opened it for. Your media library already had folders for uploads. In November we brought the same folders to projects, so the edits themselves can be sorted the way you work. ## What project folders can do Project folders behave like folders on your computer, with a few details for video work: - folders can hold other folders, so a client can have one subfolder per campaign - each folder gets a name, an icon and an optional description - Move to folder, in each project’s menu, puts a project where it belongs - breadcrumbs at the top take you back up a level, or all the way to All videos - each folder card shows how many videos it holds Folders belong to the workspace, so everyone on your team sees the same structure. Deleting a folder never deletes the videos in it: they move back to All videos. If the folder still holds videos or subfolders, the dialog asks you to confirm that the subfolders go too. ## Set up your folders in five steps The labels below are the ones you see in the dashboard today. 1. Open Videos in the sidebar and go to your individual projects. 2. Click New Folder, give it a name, then pick an icon and add a description if you want one. 3. Open the folder and create subfolders inside it, for example one per month or per episode. 4. On any project, open its menu, choose Move to folder and pick the destination. 5. Use the breadcrumbs to jump back to a parent folder or to All videos. Projects still open in the [online editor](https://blitzreels.com/editor) as usual. The folder only changes where they’re listed. ## Folder setups that hold up There’s no single right structure. A few that work well for creators: - By client: one folder per client, with a subfolder per campaign or month, so last quarter’s cut is easy to find when they ask for it. - By show: a folder for your podcast or channel, then one per episode, so the long edit and its follow-ups stay together. - By format: tutorials, ads, trailers, so you can open a past project and duplicate it as a starting point. Today, clips you generate from a long video stay grouped with their original video in Clipping projects, so a batch of [AI clips](https://blitzreels.com/clipping) doesn’t need a folder to stay together. Folders are for the projects you edit by hand. ## Folders for your media too Uploads have their own folders under Media. You can move any asset with Move to folder and search either This folder or All folders. Deleting a media folder works differently from a project folder: if you turn on the option to delete its contents, the files inside are permanently removed from storage, so read the dialog before you confirm. Today you can also manage media folders from the command line. `blitzreels media folders create --name "Episode 12"` creates one, `blitzreels media move --asset-id ASSET_ID --target-folder-id FOLDER_ID` files an asset, and `blitzreels media import-youtube --url URL --folder-id FOLDER_ID` brings a [YouTube video](https://blitzreels.com/changelog/start-with-a-youtube-link) straight into a folder. The [media library API](https://blitzreels.com/docs/media-library) lets you browse folders and assets from code. Project folders are managed in the dashboard. ## Questions ### Can I create subfolders for my video projects? Yes. Project folders can contain other folders, and the breadcrumbs at the top of the page take you back up one level at a time. ### What happens to my videos if I delete a folder? Nothing is deleted. Videos inside a deleted project folder move back to All videos, and subfolders are removed only after you confirm that option in the dialog. ### Does my team see the same folders? Yes. Folders belong to the workspace, so every member sees the same folders and the projects inside them. ### How do I move a project into a folder? Open the project’s menu, choose Move to folder and pick a destination. Choose All videos to take it out of every folder. ### Can I manage folders from the BlitzReels CLI? For media, yes: `blitzreels media folders create` and `blitzreels media move` organize your media library from the terminal. Project folders are managed in the dashboard. ## Give every edit a place Open the online editor, then sort your projects into folders from the Videos page.
