Start the edit briefed, not guessing.
At wrap, ShootFlow turns the day's wash-ups into one editor brief: what changed on the day, the best takes to use, the pickups still to shoot and the deliverables to hit. Post starts from what happened on set, not from a folder of unlabelled clips and a vague email.
Changed on the day: café two-shot went handheld; the locked-off felt static.
Best takes: ★ SH-005 · T3 crema swirl lands at ~4s.
Post, briefed from the shoot's own reality
The edit begins with a hard drive, a vague email and a phone call to work out which take was the good one and what changed on the day.
The editor opens a brief built from the shoot itself: the best takes starred, the on-the-day changes noted, the pickups and deliverables listed.
Editor Brief, step by step.
Wash-ups on set
As the day runs, the crew notes what changed, which takes landed and what still needs a pickup, in the same console as the shots.
Assembled at wrap
ShootFlow assembles those notes into one editor brief the moment you wrap: best takes, on-the-day changes, outstanding pickups and the deliverables to cut.
The editor starts ahead
Post opens the brief and knows the story of the shoot immediately, instead of reverse-engineering it from the rushes.
Questions producers ask
How do I hand off a shoot to the editor?
The editor brief assembles itself from the day's wash-ups at wrap: the best takes, what changed on the day, the pickups still to shoot and the deliverables to hit. The editor opens it and starts briefed rather than guessing from the rushes.
Where does the brief come from?
From the wash-ups the crew files during the shoot, in the same console as the shots, so nothing is reconstructed from memory after the fact.
What is in an editor brief?
The best takes, the changes made on the day, the pickups still outstanding and the deliverables to cut, each tied to the shots they came from.
Does it connect to the deliverables and the Cut Wizard?
Yes. The brief lists the deliverables to hit, and each one can then be checked against its destination by the Cut Wizard before it goes to the client.
