The Filezone

The Filezone is where (almost) all files linked to a project can be found, by users with Workbench or Manager access. This includes the result of File upload jobs, Media upload jobs, Online review jobs and files generated with the built-in rendering engine. You can also upload files directly to the Filezone. 

The exception is the JSON work files created by the online editing tools, since these belong more to the category data. These won't be found in the project Filezone. However, deliverables such as SRTs created from these files, will be found in the Filezone.

File modes

There are four basic modes which determine how a file behaves, or how it was delivered. 

• Standard
  
  • A file which can be downloaded and accessed from Plint.
  • This is what you get with File upload jobs, and the default setting when you just upload one or more files to the Filezone.
• Media
  • A file meant to be opened in the Online editors.
  • This is the mode you get when you upload a video using Media upload jobs.
• Online review
  • This is the mode you get when you upload a video using Online review jobs
• Copy for delivery
  • This is the mode you get when you generate a video using the built-in video rendering tools

File categories

In order to organize and categorize files in additional ways, you can use File categories. The list of available categories is maintained under Tools & Data. File upload jobs can then be set to require that the uploader specifies the category of individual files. With this data set, they can then be filtered out in the Filezone.
