How to Use Media Folders in Shootsta
Organize your video assets into folders directly inside the Shootsta media library. Here is how to create folders, move assets, and keep your library clean as it grows.
The Shootsta media library now supports folders. You can group assets by project, campaign, team, or however your workflow makes sense. No more scrolling through a flat list of every file you have ever uploaded.
How do media folders work?
Folders in Shootsta work through tagging. When you create a folder and add assets to it, the platform tags those assets so they are grouped together. This means a single asset can live in multiple folders if needed, which is useful when the same B-roll clip is relevant to more than one project.
The left sidebar in your media library shows your folder structure. Click a folder to filter the library to just those assets. Click "All Assets" to see everything.
How do I create a folder?
Three steps:
- Open your Media Library from the left navigation
- Click + New Folder in the folders panel
- Name your folder and start dragging assets into it
That is it. The folder appears in your sidebar immediately.
How should I organize my folders?
There is no single right way. It depends on how your team thinks about their work. Here are three approaches that work well at scale.
By project or campaign
One folder per project: "Q1 Brand Campaign," "Onboarding Series," "2026 Annual Report." This keeps all assets for a single deliverable together. Good for teams that work on distinct projects with clear start and end dates.
By asset type
Separate folders for raw footage, B-roll, final edits, brand assets (logos, templates, lower thirds), and audio. Good for production teams who need to find specific types of assets across multiple projects.
By team or department
Marketing, L&D, Internal Comms, Sales Enablement. Good for organizations where different teams produce their own video content and want their own workspace within the shared library.
