Add more data with ALE files

You can upload ALE files to automatically add more technical metadata to your VFX sheet. When merging metadata, be sure to select a merge option that is unique.

Create VFX Shot IDs

This option allows you to automatically generate shot IDs. There are several options to choose from, but most of them require additional metadata from ALEs to work.

Add thumbnails

For a better overview, the tracker document should be provided with thumbnails or preview screenshots. This step can be partially automated:

  • Extract images from a video using our image extraction tool.
  • Use our Marker Converter to generate a script (with ffmpeg) you can run locally: select "Convert clips from EDL to markers (.edl)" and "ffmpeg Shell Script: Markers to Stills (.sh)", then download and run the script.
