Also, ASC-CDLs or customized CSV files with static or dynamic metadata can be fetched programmatically by 3rd-party applications for further processing.

Time Zone

Select a Time Zone for Each Project.

ShotHub comes with a new option to select the time zone that is used to display time and date metadata in the project. The selection is also applied to clips reports and documented in the corresponding PDF file. If, for example, the shooting location is Mexico City and the producer coordinates the project from Paris or Berlin, time and date metadata can be shown in any of the two time zones.

Dashboard Overview of Projects and Activities

Dashboard

Overview of Projects and Activities.

All projects and recent activities are summarized on the dashboard, making it easy to keep an overview of your projects. Additionally, the dashboard provides quick access to the team settings and to all Silverstack or Livegrade cloud projects that you are part of.


Team Settings

Organize Your Team.

The introduction of new user roles enables multiple persons to manage teams and projects. On team- and project-level users can be involved as “members” or “admins”. While “members” simply contribute to the team’s project/s, “admins” have additional management rights. For example, team admins can manage users (invite/delete team members/external users) and edit (archive/delete) projects. Furthermore, many filter options allow team admins to check which project/s a user is currently involved in.
