The situation
An edit suite is booked for a project whose footage has not arrived. A client approves by voice message. The deliverables list in the contract has twelve lines and the team remembers nine. None of this is about craft; all of it costs money.
What CrewDesk changes
- A project per film or campaign, with stages you can rename: ingest, edit, sound, color, delivery.
- Each version as a task: sent on a date, owned by an editor, waiting on a named client.
- Picture lock recorded with the date of approval, in the project notes.
- Deliverables as a checklist, one task per file, so the last invoice is not held up by a forgotten caption file.
- People and rooms on the calendar, to see that the colorist is booked on two projects the same day.
A shared memory
Technical specifications from broadcasters, the client's naming rules, the font license: attach them to the project. The freelance editor who takes over in week three starts from the same facts.
Make it yours
Post houses usually ask for room and workstation booking, hours per project and a link to their review platform. The demo does not include them. TECHMA builds them on top of the same base.
