Related workflows

Bulk Rename and Folder Structure

Put a shoot into one predictable folder and file-name shape so search, backup, and handoff all agree.

Photo organization

Hold the library to one folder shape, with no duplicate or undated shoot left behind, so a job is never hunted for twice.

Video transcoding

Render every delivery version of a finished video from one master and play-test each one, so a broken file is found before the client opens the link.
