How ShootHive works

Guides to the core of production in ShootHive — what each part is for and how it fits together. Start with projects, shoots, and the people behind them.

Getting started

  • Welcome to ShootHive

    How ShootHive is organized, the words it uses, and where to start.

  • Glossary

    Plain definitions of the terms you'll meet across ShootHive.

Projects & shoots

  • Dashboard

    Your studio's home screen — key numbers, upcoming work, and shortcuts to what you do most.

  • Projects

    The long-running container that groups several shoots, one budget, and the client they're for.

  • Shoots

    A single production session — the central object that crew, documents, budget, and files attach to.

  • Clients

    The brands and agencies you produce work for — with their contacts and full project history.

  • Shoot statistics

    See volume, schedule, spend, and what needs attention across every shoot — in one owner dashboard.

Scheduling

  • The calendar

    One production schedule — shoots, time off, and synced external events, in five views.

  • Time off & holds

    Mark when you — or your team — are unavailable, so it shows on the calendar.

People & crew

  • People

    Your directory of crew, talent, and contributors — with rates, profiles, and self-service onboarding.

  • Booking crew

    Put people on shoots and projects, track their booking status, and send invitations.

Documents & releases

  • Documents & releases

    Build templated releases, NDAs, and contracts, send them for e-signature, and attach the signed copies where they belong.

  • Document templates

    Build the reusable templates that every release, NDA, and contract is created from.

  • Object & IP releases

    Clear the rights to objects and artwork that appear in frame — a tattoo, a painting, a logo — with the rights owner entered by hand.

  • Signing releases

    Collect signatures — fast-sign on set, or send a secure link for remote signing.

Locations & files

  • Locations

    Studios, sets, and addresses where shoots happen — each with a media gallery and its own files.

  • Files & attachments

    Upload and organize the files attached to projects, shoots, and locations — kept in your own storage.

Post-production

  • Post-production

    How shot assets move through an editing pipeline as batches — from selection to delivery.

  • Working a batch

    Move a batch through its stages — update counts, advance work, and flag blockers.

  • Stock providers & uploads

    Connect stock platforms and track finished media as it's uploaded to each.

  • Configuring the pipeline

    Choose which stages your batches run through, for photo and for video.

  • Post-production statistics

    Read the metrics that show where post-production is fast, slow, or stuck.

  • Delivered files

    Link the folder of a shoot's finished files so ShootHive knows exactly what it produced — the base for connecting stock sales back to the shoot.

Finance

  • Budgets

    Plan a project's or shoot's costs and revenue, then approve and lock the numbers.

  • Cost categories & rate profiles

    Set up the shared categories and reusable rates that budgets are built from.

  • Payments

    Record money paid against budget lines and read the studio's payment ledger.

  • Profit & loss

    Read the studio's revenue, cost, and margin in one place.

  • Stock sales

    Import your stock agency earnings reports and see revenue by provider and month.

  • Member compensation

    How members are paid — employment type, cost and bill rates, and salaried staff-time.
