How to Automatically Share Dailies with Remote Edit Teams

In modern production teams are often spread across the globe. Editors, producers, and clients are unlikely to all be physically present on set. This makes fast delivery of footage and dailies critical. Without this key component editorial can be delayed, feedback loops slow down, and production loses momentum.

The Problem with Manual Uploads

As the name implies, dailies are traditionally uploaded at the end of the day. This creates several issues…

• Delays before editors can begin work
• Increased workload at wrap
• Higher risk of missed or incomplete uploads

Manual processes simply do not scale well in the fast-paced environments that are so common during shoots.

Automating Dailies Delivery

Automation allows dailies to be shared as part of the ingest process. With ShotPut Studio…

• Footage is offloaded and verified
• Proxies are generated automatically
• Files can be uploaded to cloud platforms like Dropbox, Google Drive, and iCloud or media focused options such as Frame.io and LucidLink

This all happens without interrupting the workflow on set. Everything can be set up and configured so that all crew member needs to do is plug in a card and the entire process starts.

Real-Time Visibility for Teams

Notifications play a key role in keeping teams aligned. ShotPut Studio supports…

• Slack notifications
• Email alerts
• SMS updates
• Desktop notifications

Editors and producers can track progress in real time, without needing constant communication with the crew.

Keeping Set Running Smoothly

Because delivery is automated, it does not slow down production. Crew members are not tied to uploading files or managing transfers. Instead, they can focus on their primary responsibilities while the system handles delivery in the background.
