Asset relations

Overview

Asset relations let you link related media together. This keeps you informed about which variants, crops or compositions were created from an original.

Relation types

footage.one recognises several relationship types:

• Variant — alternative version of the same content (e.g. different formats)
• Derivative — derived work (e.g. crop, colour correction)
• Composition — compilation from multiple assets
• Segment — excerpt of a larger work
• Version — new version of the same work
• Audio track — associated sound track
• Model release — associated model release document
• Behind the scenes — making-of material
• Related — general content relationship

Creating a relation

1. Open an asset in the detail view
2. Switch to the References tab
3. Click Add reference
4. Search for the asset to link via the autocomplete
5. Choose the relation type and optionally a label

Relations can be created as one-directional or bidirectional.

Upload versions, variants and derivatives

A new version, a variant or a derivative does not have to be added as an asset of its own first and linked afterwards: with Upload as… in the toolbar you upload the file right at the original, and the relation is created for you. How this works and what the new asset takes over is described in Versions, variants and derivatives.
