Beta Track

Hedge's Beta Track offers a sneak peek at what next big features we're currently working on. Beta Tracks are about getting your opinion on how they may positively impact your workflow as early as possible in our development process. Often, new features tickle one's imagination and lead to interesting new insights. Those ideas and thoughts we love to hear about.

Report Sections

An OffShoot Report is a self-contained HTML file that summarizes one or more Offloads. It’s organized top-to-bottom so you can quickly confirm that media was copied and verified, and then drill down into per-source details.

Clip details and thumbnails require an OffShoot Pro license. Upgrade via the License Managerarrow-up-right, or via OffShoot > Settings > License. Check out all Pro features here.

  • Header Shows the Report title, date, and optional note, configured in OffShoot › Settings › Reports.

  • Summary High-level totals for all Offloads, including count, files, size, and clips.

  • Destinations Aggregated totals per destination, showing how many offloads, files, and total data were delivered and their status.

  • Offloads List of all offloads in the report with dates, clip and file counts, sizes, verification settings, checksum type, and overall status.

  • Source

Settings

The Reporting settings control how OffShoot generates Reports from your Transfer Logs.

  • Logo: Choose the logo shown at the top of your Report.

  • Title: Set the title used in the Report header.

  • Note: Optional note shown after the Report date.

  • Media: Adds clip sections to the Report with thumbnails and metadata. When enabled, OffShoot generates clip thumbnails and extracts media metadata after transfer, using the first Destination.

Known limitations

Reports can currently only be generated from an entire day folder (one or multiple days). If multiple productions or unrelated offloads happened on the same day, separate them into individual reports with the following workaround:

  • Click the "Show in Finder/Explorer" button.

  • Enable “Show hidden files” in your file browser.

  • Locate and move the .json files for the transfers you want to exclude to another location.

  • Go back to OffShoot and generate a new Report.
