Filmmaker workflow
From video upload and automated transcoding to unified playback and secure client delivery—built specifically for filmmakers on ArtInStack.
Architectural alignment
Filmmakers need large-master ingest, reliable playback, and client-safe review without shipping hard drives. ArtInStack routes uploads through Media, transcodes for smooth web delivery, and plays video through the same player experience used on pages, products, and the client portal. Editorial feedback can run through Projects (internal) and Portal Manager (client screening rooms) while you keep version discipline in the library.
Required module configuration
| Area | Why you need it | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Media | Masters and proxies | Upload and manage videos |
| Portfolio or Pages | Screening layouts | Video gallery and hero blocks |
| Portal Manager | Client review rooms | Video library widgets when entitled |
| Projects (optional) | Internal cut review | Team module |
| Products | Deposits, digital deliverables | Commerce optional |
Step-by-step implementation blueprint
- Media — Upload a representative reel or scene; wait until transcoding reports ready.
- Pages — Place a Video or Video Lightbox block on a screening page; confirm poster and play behavior on mobile.
- Portfolio — If clients should browse multiple cuts, add videos to a collection with appropriate privacy.
- Portal Manager — Invite a test client with video library or gallery access for review-only policy.
- Projects (if using team) — Pin the current cut for internal notes before client share.
- Products (optional) — Create a digital deliverable or deposit product tied to portal access.
- Load the client portal on a phone network (not only office Wi‑Fi) to validate playback.
- Publish the public screening page only after autoplay and poster rules match your brand guidelines.
Verification framework
- Upload reaches ready and plays in Media preview.
- Page block plays without stalling on a typical mobile connection.
- Client portal shows only entitled videos.
- Download policy matches contract (on vs off).
- Internal project reviewers cannot accidentally publish client cuts to the public site.
