In short: Flicks → Your films → the card shows the stage, from Reading the brief to Rendering the video. Needs a look means the check found something the edit could not fix. Open the film and press Storyboard to see every shot.
A film takes a while to make. While it runs, the card in Your films tells you which stage it is on. When it is done, the card tells you if something needs your attention.
This page explains the card, the film page, and the storyboard and shot details that stay with the film. Flicks is behind a feature flag, so if you cannot see it, it is not switched on for your workspace yet.
Read the stage on the card
The card names the stage the film is on. The stages run in order. Reading the brief, Writing the script, Planning the shots, Designing the frames, Assembling the cut, Adding the motion, Rough cut, Checking every frame, Rendering the video. The card also shows how many stages are done, for example 6 of 9. It shows how long the film has been running.
Know what Queued means
A film that has not started yet shows Queued and Waiting for a slot. Two films can run at once. The third starts when one of them finishes.
Watch the rough cut early
Open the film page while it runs. Once the rough cut exists, you can watch it there. The page says Rough cut and that the finished film is on its way.
Check a film that says Needs a look
Needs a look on the card means the check found something the edit could not fix. Watch the film before you use it. If it is not right, press Another like it on the film page. This starts a new film with the same brief and settings.
See where a failed film stopped
A film that fails shows Failed on the card. A film you stopped shows Stopped. Both say Open to resume. Open the film page, read What happened, and press Resume to carry on.
Open the storyboard and the shots
On the film page, press Storyboard. Each shot shows its kind, its purpose or scene, and how long it holds. The storyboard stays with the film for as long as the film exists.
Wait a moment for the shot pictures
When the film is done, Protaigé cuts one still per shot from the finished film. It adds each still to its shot card a moment after the film appears. A shot without a still is not a fault in the film.
Watch every film before you publish it. The card tells you where to look, and the storyboard shows you shot by shot what was made.
