About Shotstore

If you are an active television production company then one of the most difficult tasks you will undoubtedly have is keeping track of your source material – the shots and rushes that form the nucleus of any programme.
You may well have a library system that keeps tabs on the location of your tapes, discs or drives and you may well meticulously log every shot so you know the content; but how easy is it to search out and locate material that may have been shot long ago for some long forgotten job? How much time does it take to create those shot logs and how quickly can you find and view a particular clip?

Shotstore has been developed as a server or internet based camera-to-library database that interfaces seamlessly with today’s file based workflows prevalent in modern cameras and edit environments. It works whatever your acquisition format or whatever your storage medium. Proxy clips, metadata and shot information are securely stored and can be input or retrieved 24/7 from any location with a broadband internet access throughout the World. Records can be updated whilst on a shoot, editors can add their own footnotes and any number of staff can simultaneously access the system. Not only that, your clients can have their own private, password controlled, access to log into just their own data.
A number of pre-ordained field allow grouping of information by Client, Location, Agency etc and a powerful text search facility ensures that shots can be located quickly and easily using keyword searching. Library location, time code, shot description, locality, weather conditions and a plethora of other pieces of valuable information will allow you to rapidly locate the material you need. The shots can be instantly viewed to decide if they are what is required and information about any possible shot can isolated and viewed in clear table form either on-line or printed in well formatted log sheets or reports.
Not only is this a valuable resource when producing your own programmes it is also a useful way of identifying valuable footage for sale to third parties.

Shotstore is a cost efficient and practical way of keeping tabs on your material. Designed by industry professionals for industry professionals it addresses virtually all the provision of information requirements you are likely to come across.
