Features

Connect planned shots to your file references, keep selected takes and review checks together, and hand off a clear pickup queue and editing worksheet. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Editor Handoff in Studio. Snapshot the current batch or explore the clearly labeled desk-tutorial example. 2. Log up to ten takes for each shot with a filename or source reference, clip-relative in/out seconds, source duration and your picture/sound checks. Select the take and keep unresolved pickup notes visible. 3. Filter to open shots, resolve review notes, and share the complete editor report or CSV text. Source batch plans and video files stay unchanged. Existing batch planning, shot library, editable scripts, setup ordering, Shoot Mode, teleprompter, coverage tools, gear planning and exports remain available. Handoffs have separate local storage; filmed checkmarks are not treated as footage review. WHAT TO KNOW Manual references and checks only. Videos are not imported, analyzed, edited or sent. Times are clip-relative seconds, not frame-accurate timecode. CSV is a worksheet, not an EDL or automatic relink file. Verify source files in your editor. Up to 30 handoffs, 300 shots each and ten takes per shot. iPhone and iPad.
