Follow and manage cloud recordings

See your organisation's cloud recordings, follow their logs, pull films back, cancel, run again and edit the words, from the web app or the terminal.

Every cloud recording in your organisation is listed in the web app, where anyone in the organisation can watch it, follow it and review it. The same things can be done from the terminal.

In the web app

  1. Go to https://app.showreelstudio.app/app and sign in with the same account you use on your Mac. The header says Online.
  2. Open Recordings. Each recording shows its status (queued, uploading, running, done, failed or cancelled), whether its checks passed, its stages, length, how long it took and when it started.
  3. Click a recording to open it. Its page has four tabs:
    • Film: every shape to play and download, with the subtitles, transcript, contact sheet and the checks' report, plus comments and publishing.
    • Storyboard: edit the words and record again.
    • Review: each shot's first and last frame beside what it should show, to pass or fail with a note.
    • Log: the recorder's log, live while it runs.

Actions on a recording

  • Cancel stops a running recording.
  • Run again records a finished one again from the files it was sent, for when a screen changed.
  • Copy link copies a link to the recording that anyone in your organisation can open.
  • Delete removes the recording, its files, comments and review, after asking.

Editing the words

On the Storyboard tab you can change each line's Voice-over, What happens and What a frame has to show, and the Title. Click Approve and record again to record a new version with your words. The lines, their order and what the recorder does stay as they were.

A changed voice-over has to be voiced on the service. That needs a cloud connection the service may use by itself (the "grant" mode). On the default connection, the voice-over is read-only here: change it on your Mac instead. See Connect your Google Cloud.

In the terminal

List your organisation's recordings:

showreel cloud jobs

Follow one recording's log:

showreel cloud logs 3f9a1c2b7d4e5f60 --follow

Bring its film back into the project. Add --shots to bring back the raw takes too:

showreel cloud pull 3f9a1c2b7d4e5f60

Pulling also brings back words edited in the web app (the previous storyboard is kept as storyboard.prev.json) and the Pass and Fail verdicts, which the repair skill reads.

Cancel a running recording:

showreel cloud cancel 3f9a1c2b7d4e5f60

Open the web app, or one recording in it:

showreel cloud open 3f9a1c2b7d4e5f60
