The shoot day comes in, and nothing is lost on the way.

The DIT uploads each day the night it is shot. Every file is checked against the record the DIT already writes, and the producer sees the day arrive without asking anyone.

The Long Coast's footage: four shoot days, each with its pictures, its files and its size, and Day 1 marked Upload stopped.

Checked against the DIT's own record.

  • The record the DIT already writes. Each file is matched to the checksum list from the DIT's offload; AeroSync never makes a proof of its own in its place.
  • What does not match is named. A file that differs, a file the record names that never arrived, a card that came with no record.
  • Arriving is not safe. A day is In and safe only when its camera files have arrived and been checked. A day of proxies alone says so.
  • A report never stops an upload. What is wrong is told; the footage keeps coming.

Uploaded the same night, the way the DIT chooses.

From the browser, or from AeroSync's desktop app for Mac. Either way the file lands in the same place, and the browser never holds a key to the film.

  • The whole line used. Many pieces of many files go at once, so a day's cards use all the connection there is.
  • Paused, and carried on. Stop for the night or lose the line; what arrived is kept, and the upload carries on from there.
  • Nothing is ever refused. A card in the wrong folder still arrives and is shown filed. Scene and take are never guessed from folder names.
  • A run the server knows of. Each upload is seen from start to finish; one that goes quiet is told as Upload stopped.
Day 3 of The Long Coast: five files, each with its picture, name and size, and the day matched by its date, not yet confirmed.

The producer sees every day arrive.

Each shoot day, its files, its size and where it stands, on the film's Overview and on Footage. Once a schedule is published, a day is matched to its date on the board, and someone on set says what was shot.

  • Every upload is viewable. Video, pictures, PDFs and text play or open in the browser.
  • A schedule is never needed. Footage stands by itself; what joins it to the board appears only once there is one.

What a production needs.

Proxies from the shoot, as every production already makes; the camera originals, which are archived and never decoded; the DIT's checksum record; and a connection of at least 200 Mbps where the upload happens.
