In many productions, turnaround time is critical. Producers and clients want to review footage as soon as possible and editors want to begin cutting immediately. If delays in delivery occur, they can slow down the entire post production process.
The Challenge of End-of-Day Workflows
Manual workflows often push delivery to the end of the day. This creates…
- Time pressure at wrap
- Increased chance of mistakes
- Delayed access for stakeholders
Starting Delivery During Ingest
Automation shifts delivery earlier in the process. With ShotPut Studio…
- Footage is ingested and verified
- Proxies are generated
- Uploads begin immediately
This allows stakeholders to access footage while the shoot is still ongoing.
Balancing Proxies and Originals
Not all files need to be delivered at the same time. A common approach is…
- Upload proxies immediately for review
- Deliver full-resolution files later, often overnight
This balances speed with bandwidth and storage constraints.
Reducing End-of-Day Stress
By the time the crew wraps, much of the work is already complete. There is no need for last-minute uploads or organization because your workflow has been running throughout the day. This helps improve both efficiency and reliability.
