Managing Shots
Create a Shot
Create your first shot
It's time to create shots for your production.
WARNING
Shots are linked to Sequences in Kitsu. This means you must create a sequence and then populate this sequence with shots.
You need to go to the Shots page: you can use the dropdown menu and click on the SHOTS.
Click on the Add shots button to start with the shot creation.
WARNING
When you create a shot, the task workflow you have designed will be applied, and all the tasks will be created at the same time as the shot.
A new pop-up opens for the creation of the shots. You can now create the sequences and the shots.
Enter the first sequence, for instance, sq01, then add.
Now, you can see your sequence has been created. To add shots to this sequence, select it and create your shots.
For example, type sh0010 on the shots column, then again add. You can also define padding for your shots.
TIP
If you want to name your shots ten on ten as SH0010, SH0020, SH0030, etc, set the Shot Padding as 10
You can now see that new shots are listed and linked by their sequence. You have created the first shot of the first sequence.
Now, let's add more shots than just one! As you can see, the box already contains your name code but incremented, so you have to continue to click on add to create more shots.
To add more sequences, go to the left part, type the name of your new sequence, and then click on add. Your second sequence is selected, and you can now add shots.
TIP
If a shot is misplaced on a sequence, you have to edit the shot 
, and change the sequence. 
Create Shots from an EDL File
You may already have your shots list ready in an EDL file. With Kitsu, you can directly import your EDL file to create the sequence, shot, number of frames, Frame in and out, and more.
On the Global Shot Page, you will see an Import EDL button.
You can select the naming convention of the video file used during the editing on the pop-up.
It means the video clip on the editing is named as project_sequence_shot.extension.
Here is an example of an EDL for the LGC production.
The video files are named LGC_100-000.mov, which means LGC is the production name, 100 is the sequence name, and 000 is the shot name.
You can import the EDL file once you have the naming convention.
Then click on Upload EDL
Then Kitsu will create the shots.

Add the number of Frames and Frame ranges to the shots
At this stage of the production, the animatic should be done. This means you have the length (number of frames, Frame range In, and Frame range Out) for each shot. You can add this information to the spreadsheet. This way, you are sure that all the frames are calculated and none are missing or over-computed.
WARNING
If you have created your shots and sequence by hand, the Frame column will be hidden. You must edit at least one shot and fill in the number of frames to display the Frame column. The column will be displayed if you have created your shots and imported the number of frames with a CSV/spreadsheet.
You need to edit the shots to fill in the frame range information. Click on the edit button on the right side of the shot line.
You can enter the shots In and **Out ** in the new window. Then, save by clicking the Confirm button.
Now, the frame range appears on the general spreadsheet of the shot page.
Now that you have unlocked the Frames, In, and Out columns, you can fill them directly from the global shot page.
Click on the case you want to fill in and add the data.
TIP
If you enter the Frame In and Frame Out, Kitsu automatically calculates the Number of Frame.
You can also use the CSV Import to update your frame range quickly. Update Shots information with CSV Import
