How to organize captured footage for documentaries before sending to editor?
If I was going to send this to an editor Or If I was going to be sent this I would like the following structure (this is all dependent on how they work but it helps)

 - Project name
   - Raw Video Files
     - Day 1
      - Cam A
      - Cam B
      - ...
     - Day 2
      - Cam A
      - Cam B
      - ...
   - Audio Files
     - Dialogue
      - "Audio recorder"
       - Day 1
        - Audio File 1
        - Audio File 2
        - ...
       - Day 2
        - Audio File 1
        - Audio File 2
        - ...


Im sure you can gather where im going with this, simple folder structure can make a whole difference to how easy and quick it can be to edit this my files at the top level look like

Project Name
 &gt; Raw files
 &gt; Audio files
 &gt; project files
 &gt; Exports
 &gt; XML
 &gt; DVD
 &gt; ...


Hope this helps, there are many ways to organize this and many blogs, sites advising which is the best way but it comes down to how you want to work and what works for your filming and editing process within your company
