Now move the actual files

Open both in separate tabs, then drag the files across. Google Drive keeps each file's id when it moves, so nothing gets re-analysed and the library follows them automatically.

The files to move

Nothing breaks if you do this later, or never. The library already shows these clips under the new client. Until the files move, they simply sit in the old client's Drive folder.

Working on it

Starting up
Reading the interview, choosing the best part, then finding B-roll. A couple of minutes. The editor opens on its own when it is ready.

Edit

0:00
Preview is 360p and skips the trimmed pauses, so it jumps a little. The render is the real thing.

The plan

What it will cut to, and why

Tell it what to change

Plain language. It only changes the plan, never renders.

Edit clips

Tick a field to write it. Anything left unticked is untouched.

Your profile

A square photo works best. Up to 5 MB.
The bit that would sit under your name if you were on screen. Keep it short, keep it silly.

Your access

Email address

Changing this sends a confirmation link to the new address. The old one keeps working until you click it.

Library access

Client

Share this folder (and any shoot folders below it) with the indexer’s service account (loading…) as a Viewer so the nightly indexer can read it.
Paste the whole folder URL and the ID is pulled out automatically. Finished videos already edited outside FootageIQ (shorts, testimonials, shop tours) show up under Finished videos. Your Wistia account itself (the API token and account subdomain) is set once for your whole FootageIQ account, above the client list.

Primary contact

Shoots (Drive folders the indexer walks)

Each shoot is a Drive folder. Active shoots are re-checked every night at 3 AM Pacific, and new clips get indexed automatically.

Brand

Used for captions, the corner logo, the moving border and the end card, so a finished video looks like theirs.

People on camera

The roster the indexer matches names against. A name is only attached to a clip when it is spoken aloud or shown on screen, so spelling here should match how people say it. Aliases catch the variations.
