Client Playlists

Create a Playlist for your Client

You can find the Playlists page on the drop-down menu.

The playlist page is separated into two parts:

• (1) The playlist list where you can create a playlist or load an existing one.
• (2) The last created playlists and the last modified playlists

Start by creating a Playlist .

Your default name is the date and the hour. You can change it immediately.

You need to select the playlist shared with The Client and whether it's an  Assets, Shots, or Sequences playlist. You can also add a Task Type tag to the playlist.

Once the playlist is created, via the search/filter bar, you can select which shots to add to your playlist.

TIP

Kitsu will automatically load the latest uploaded version of the task type.

You can also choose to add the whole movie, and it will add all the shots of the movie.

Otherwise, you can Add the whole sequence if you want to focus only on a particular sequence.

You can use the same filter than on the global shot/asset page. For example, you can select all the Done tasks for the render stage. You can type your research render=done in the search bar or use the filter builder button.

Valid your selection with the Add selection button.

Kitsu will select the shots with the Done status at the Compositing stage.

The shots appear on the top part of the screen. Every change are automatically saved.
