Connecting a Shot for Tethered Capture in Product Centric View

ShotFlow capture is designed to optimize high volume photo capture by utilizing real-time studio production data to create "smarter" assets by automating file naming, metadata tagging and local folder management for the capture team. This is typically done via tethered shooting in Phase One’s Capture One Pro, and functions the same in Product Centric View as it has in past ShotFlow capture versions and in the current Shot Centric View.

• Make sure your camera is tethered to the capture station, powered on and recognized in Capture One
• We recommend shooting in RAW mode in order to enable the metadata features of ShotFlow to function correctly
• Create or choose the session folder where you want the next Shot to be contained. ShotFlow capture does not create and manage Capture One sessions automatically, but it will utilize the last open session when auto-launching Capture One to connect to a Shot. Therefore, you will have to create and manage Capture One sessions manually if you utilize multiple session folders in your workflow. 
• ShotFlow capture does not currently support catalogs or switching between Capture One sessions.

To connect an active Shot to Capture One Pro, select the [Status] (circle) icon and select the [Connected] (Capture One) icon. 

This will launch Capture One Pro locally (if not already running) and set the file naming, C1 token format, session folder, and metadata tagging for the connected Shot. 

Once a shot is connected to Capture One, the following fields are populated with corresponding data: 

Captured By - name of user

Captured On Shot List - name of Shot List

Captured on Set - name of Set (apps with Areas/Locations, this is the value in the Area's ID field)

Date Shot - Date and time 

Day Shot - Date

This allows for these fields to be passed in the XMP metadata. Even if the shot is not marked as "Completed", the values are populated to show that some work was done for this shot. 

ShotFlow Capture updates these fields for every subsequent capture taken on the Shot.

Each time a capture is taken, the fields are updated with the most current information. For example, the Date Shot value will update to show the most recently recorded Date/Time of all captures for that shot. Or the Shot is captured on one Set, but then moves to another because the camera stops working on the first - the Captured on Set information will be updated with the next capture on the new Set.
