Tips

Tips for better results.

  1. Keep a master folder

    Store every client’s latest kit in one shared folder so nobody imports an old one.

  2. Re-send on changes

    When a client changes their brand, send the new file to everyone and ask them to import it.

  3. Old work stays safe

    Projects keep the brand they were made with, so a new kit never changes delivered work.

  4. Same size everywhere

    Watermarks are sized against the frame, so they match whether someone exports at 4K or 1080p.

How it works

Three steps, one app.

Everything runs on your Mac, and nothing is uploaded on the way.

  1. 1

    Export the kit

    One file with the logo inside.

An example

Onboarding a new editor

  1. Day 1

    Send them the client kits they’ll work on.

  2. Import

    They import each kit; the brand titles and captions appear.

  3. Work

    Their first video matches the rest of the team’s.

  4. Change

    The client updates their logo; you send the new file to everyone.

Questions
Do kits sync automatically?

No. Shotbox has no cloud. Share the file however you share other files.

Does each editor need a subscription?

Yes, £5.60 per person per month, on one team invoice.

What if someone has an old kit?

Send the new file and they import it; new work uses it straight away.
