I'm trying to do the audio editing one (properly this year!) I think it's going okay.... It's pretty out of my ballpark to use source audio -- part of my source-prep process is to strip out the audio, so I had to work out how to get that separately :p
This is my usual clip prep: when I convert the source to my editing codec, I save it out in 2GB sections. This was initially based on what my computer could handle easily, but now it just breaks the source up into useful segments. I bring all my source into Vegas, each episode in its own folder, and then I split the files I wanna use into numbered subclips. First I divide them roughly into scenes, and then for the scenes I want I go through and split the subclip up based on where the cuts in the source are. So I end up with a lot of subclips named things like raisedbywolves-s01e10.05.1.2.
This makes a lot of subclips I won't use, but because everything's kept chronological it's easy to find and grab the things I do want. I just like having everything in order! And it's quite useful for familarising myself with the source too.
