Shot Readiness Checklist

Production Updated 18 Jul 2026

What it does

The Shot readiness panel on the shot grid summarizes whether this shot is structurally ready to leave the building: folders, department tasks, published elements, and delivery status.

How to read it

The pill shows X/4 ready. Each row is green (pass) or red (needs attention):

  • Shot folders present - pipeline reported on-disk shot folders.
  • Department tasks complete - required departments at 100% or final status (expand for per-dept breakdown).
  • Elements published - every cache/asset/plate on the shot has a lead-published version.
  • Delivery ready - delivery status is approved or delivered.

What to do

Fix red rows top to bottom: sync folders, finish or reassign dept tasks, publish missing elements on the Element Versions page, then advance delivery when comp is blessed.

Overview

Four green/red checks on the shot page before delivery.

Steps

  1. Confirm show/seq/shot context on the task or shot page.
  2. Update task status as work progresses (WIP โ†’ review โ†’ approved).
  3. Publish through the pipeline path - avoid ad-hoc paths on NAS.
  4. Check dependencies / where-used before changing shared assets.

Gotchas

  • Renaming shots/tasks does not automatically rewrite disk paths.
  • Dependency edges may lag legacy depends_on fields until sync runs.
