Shotwork¶
Open a finished video once, mark every shot worth keeping, and describe each one. Build reels from that library later, instead of hunting through the film again.
-
Getting started
Installing Shotwork, the two components it downloads, and the rights notice it shows the first time it opens.
-
Marking shots
In and out points, moving around a source, automatic shot detection, interest points, and the metadata the reel editor runs on.
-
Building a reel
Order, trim and roll clips; music with a beat grid; fades, overlay templates, cards, and a length budget you can see while you edit.
-
Exporting
Batch-export marked shots as clips, render a reel to one video, or hand a reel to Resolve, Premiere or Final Cut as a timeline.
Frame accuracy¶
Every cut lands on the frame you chose. Exports re-encode rather than copy the stream, because a stream copy snaps to the nearest keyframe and moves your cut. Exporting takes longer for it, and the frame you marked is the frame you get.
