Processor

The processor is designed to automatically detect new “sets” in the AWS S3 bucket otpublishingltd/uploads and process them. It can deal with:

  • Image sets
  • Raw Videos
  • Edited Videos
  • Raw VR videos
  • Edited VR videos

The directory structure of the data placed into the AWS S3 bucket uploads directory is important as it is used to understand what the “set” is:

The upload of shoots and edited videos should be the following:

[date]/[model]/[site]/[set-name]

where:

  • date = Shoot date in YYYY-MM-DD format (this format is very important and must be as shown)
  • model = The model name – ATM this only supports a single model name, but will in future be expanded to multiple models for duo/group shoots
  • site = The site initials, so either ot, oo, os, oss, osw, oc, al or ln
  • set-name = The name of the set/video, e.g. yellow dress edit

Where there are multiple models and multiple photographers on a single day, you can have multiple models in the single “date” folder.

So, examples would be:

/uploads/2020-10-13/Paige F/ln/beige dress edit
/uploads/2020-10-13/Paige F/ln/leopard skirt edit
/uploads/2020-10-13/Paige F/ln/peach top edit
/uploads/2020-10-13/Paige F/oo/christmas edit
/uploads/2020-10-13/Paige F/oo/yellow dress edit
/uploads/2020-10-13/Paige F/os/custom navy skirt dress edit
/uploads/2020-10-13/Paige F/os/red dress edit
/uploads/2020-10-13/Paige F/oss/blue robe edit
/uploads/2020-10-13/Paige F/oss/pink dress edit

For video shoots (e.g. unedited), please upload these in the same format with folder structure inside the “set-name” folder as it is structured now, with the video files inside the “DCIM/100EOS5D/” folder and the “shoot samples” in the sets “root” folder, for example:

Paige F/ln/dress vid/
Paige F/ln/dress vid/1_IMG_0001.jpg
Paige F/ln/dress vid/1_IMG_0002.jpg
Paige F/ln/dress vid/1_IMG_0003.jpg
Paige F/ln/dress vid/DCIM/100EOS5D/vid_0001.mp4
Paige F/ln/dress vid/DCIM/100EOS5D/vid_0002.mp4
Paige F/ln/dress vid/DCIM/100EOS5D/vid_0003.mp4

For edited videos, please upload these in the same folder structure as above, but the date can be the date you upload the edited video and the only file that should be in the “set-name” folder is the video file as the shoot samples will have been processed on the day the video was shot.

The Mac Mini at the studio will automatically detect and upload new files when they are found in the shoots folder, see Automatic S3 Uploads (Mac Mini) for more details on this.

Whilst processing, a “set” will have various statuses, a description of these can be found on the Processor Statuses page.
