Reorganize projects to make it easier to bring together many different video files

I intend to make several projects (200+) and each one will consist of probably 20 different short videos. So as of now my workflow is to shoot the video in Descript, it goes to a big bin of all my recordings. I make a project and try to bring those recordings in. But I have to search through a very big bin in order to do that, and it's hard to always find what I need. As far as I can tell on Windows, my recordings always have to go into the whole collection of all recordings.
So it would be great to either have project-specific folders to organize my recordings, or at least be able to tag projects and files with keywords so that I can search/filter my drive.
I also just find Descript's organization of the drive and workspace and projects and folders ... I find all of it kind of confusion. A simple folder structure would make a lot more intuitive sense to me. Like just a master folder where everything in Descript lives, and then folders for projects, and global files, and so on. Each project then has folders for resources and the master composition, and so on. But maybe that's just me.
In fact an ideal workflow would be: I click into an empty composition, and have a button to record a video. Record the video, click done, it gets inserted into the project and the source file automatically goes into a subfolder of the project. Click in the next position, record the next video, etc.

Like nothing crazy, I just want to be able to find stuff without have to wade through every video I ever edited.
