Day 2 · 20:00 to go

The drive leaves in 20 minutes.

Eleven crews filled it. Somewhere on it is a name the lab will refuse and a session nobody delivered. ShuttleCheck finds both before anyone asks, and ShuttleCheck Pro fixes every name.

Six tools on one line. Five of them are free.

Four of the six are a sequence, each wanting what the one before it produced. The line is lit as far as the job has got, so the first thing out of place is the next thing to deal with. Every tool owns an instrument you can tell from across the room.

Convention

FreeNo account

Nobody reads the naming doc. So ShuttleCheck reads it for you.

Your rule, recovered from work you already delivered, so nobody writes it by hand. Each field says where its value comes from. Type a name below and it is held to the rule as you type.

  1. Read the rule off a drive you delivered
  2. Hold any name to it as you type
  3. Fix it in one press: MAINN becomes MAIN
  4. Keep it for every job after

Roll call

FreeNo account

Build the event before it happens. Then call the roll.

What the running order promised against what arrived, named before anyone asks. The only tool here that can tell you about a file that is not there.

  1. Start from the running order
  2. Lay out every folder before doors open
  3. Assign every crew: where they stand, which road they deliver by, when it is due
  4. Call the roll: what never arrived, and who owes it

Rename

ShuttleCheck ProThe one paid tool

Enforce your convention. Fix the old folders too.

Everything up to here told you what is wrong. This is the one tool that fixes it, and the one you pay for. The plan is free to read. Carrying it out is the labour, and that is Pro.

  1. Hold last year's drive to this year's rule
  2. The rule fixes every name it can
  3. The rest by hand, with expressions, every result held to the rule as you type
  4. Every move journalled. Undo in one press

Nothing has moved. One collision would block the whole plan.

A demonstration on the synthetic job EXC26. This page renames nothing on your machine.

Seal

FreeNo account

It left intact. Can you prove it?

A checksum for every file in ASC MHL, the rule and the report beside it, and a chain of custody that extends rather than overwrites. The far end can check it with any ASC MHL tool and never install ours.

  1. Seal the drive before it leaves
  2. Every file hashed into an ASC MHL generation
  3. The far end opens the certificate in any browser, offline
  4. One byte changed on the way. Verify catches it, and says which file

Vendor packs

FreeNo account

Nine suppliers. Six ways in. One inbox.

Every supplier gets only their own rules, cut from the one convention, and you see who owes what by which road. A pack reaches somebody who is not your customer yet, which is why it is free.

  1. Who supplies what, by which road
  2. Every supplier on one line
  3. Write each one a pack with only their rules
  4. Chase what is owed, with the list already written

Built on the show floor. At home in the cutting room.

The running order already knows every file's name.

On an expo, a conference or a multi-stage show, the agenda is structured data that exists weeks before doors open. Joined against recording wall-clock, it names the session, the stage, the speaker and the sponsor on its own: no model, no network, no per-file cost. That is why the work moves to the week before the show, and why a general-purpose renamer cannot do it.

Hold last season's drives to this season's rule.

On film, episodic and commercial work, camera originals stay exactly as the recorder wrote them, because their names are the provenance chain the sound report and every conform depend on. The lab gets an ASC MHL it can verify with its own tools, and every conform you run can be taken back.

The checking is free. You pay for the labour.

The split is not by what is valuable. It is by what an operation does. Everything that reads is free, and so are the two things that write for somebody else's benefit. Pro is renaming, and undo.

ShuttleCheck

Free, permanently. No account, no trial clock, as many machines as you like, including commercially.

  • Check. Point it at a drive and read what will fail an ingest. It cannot write.
  • Convention. Recovered from a job you already delivered.
  • Roll call. What was due against what arrived, and who owes it.
  • Seal. ASC MHL, the rule beside it, a chain of custody.
  • Vendor packs. Each supplier's own rules.
  • Receive from a DailiesDrop unit, verified on arrival.
  • Every rename plan, to read before you decide.

ShuttleCheck Pro

Renaming, and the journal that takes it back. One licence file, one machine.

€180a year, per machine

Or €49 for 30 days, per machine, for one job.

  • Conform. Hold a whole drive to the convention, with a plan you read before anything moves.
  • Rename by hand. Expressions, case, numbering, every result held to the rule.
  • Undo. Revert a whole run from the journal in one press.

Prices before VAT. No automatic renewal, and fourteen days of grace after expiry, because a late renewal should not stop a shoot. Every licence is signed by a person on a machine with no route to the internet, so allow a working day. Pro comes with a DailiesDrop™ subscription for the whole organisation. Terms of sale.

Nothing leaves this machine.

The checker cannot write.
That is what makes it something a stranger will run on a live job: running it cannot cost them anything.
Skipped is never passed.
A check that could not run is listed by name. A silent skip is how a conformance tool starts lying.
No account. Nothing sent unless you say so.
It runs on your machine, and your media, names and paths stay on it. So does the licence check. Usage counts go out only if you switch them on, and never a filename.
Camera originals are never renamed.
Their names are the provenance chain. There is no flag that reaches them.

Station one starts on set.

DailiesDrop™ is the unit on the camera cart. Card in, written twice, verified, and sent over every route it can reach, straight into the folders ShuttleCheck laid out. A DailiesDrop subscription includes ShuttleCheck Pro for the whole organisation.

Know before anyone asks.

Point it at last season's drive tonight and read what comes back. Nothing is renamed, nothing leaves the machine, and there is no account, so there is nothing to weigh up before trying it on real material.

ShuttleCheck 0.4.3. Not code-signed yet, so the first launch takes one extra step: how to open it. Verify the download against SHA256SUMS.txt. Codec, resolution and frame-rate checks need ffmpeg on your machine; without it the report says they were skipped. Prefer a terminal? pip install shuttlecheck, then shuttlecheck ui.
