Better organization within a playlist

Bernhard Haux

It would be great to group media within a playlist. Like if we had a bunch of items in a playlist could we collect them into little bundles/groups. I know you can create review groups but are looking for organizational tools/options within the playlist.

I would love nested folders, it's a nightmare for different disciplines when trying to organize by date.

Kevin Mannens

Any news on this? Organizing a shot tree in SS is a nightmare without nested folders.

Philip Floetotto

Kevin Mannens: Hi Kevin. We are planning to introduce 1 level grouping of items in a playlist e.g by artist, sequence, shot, etc. in the near future. You could start off by grouping everything by artist automatically and then customize. The goal is to make it easier to quickly separate content in a playlist. But - we don't think an arbitrary structure within a review would be beneficial.

That being said, we are planning to introduce collections in the project view to allow you have an arbitrary nested structure for your movie.

Kevin Mannens

Philip Floetotto: But - we don't think an arbitrary structure within a review would be beneficial. --> why is that? How would you organize things like 
assets
-modelling
--charactername
-lookdev
--assetname
or 
shots
-shot100
--fx
--lighting

+1 The ability to create subfolders in playlists/reviews is absolutely critical. frame.io has had this for years.
For example: In production, I need to be able to create a playlist for each sequence, then  shot and then each discipline:
SEQUENCENAME
+SHOTNAME
++MODEL
++ANIM
++RIG 
ETC

This is huge... We need this!

Matthew Muntean

This might be a similar thing; if we could use tags or metadata per-item, that could potentially be used to group within a playlist as well as help searching outside of a playlist.
