Make Delivery

Please be aware that some information in this article may be inaccurate or out of date as we work to update it to be in line with our tools' latest functionality. Thank you for your patience as we update our documentation portal.

Note: This site is going through development, and may not match this documentation (Make Delivery will ultimately replace Copy Media)

The Make Delivery application is a tool designed to generate Deliveries from inside the ShotGrid web interface. This tool uses Published Files which are linked to a Version to find the source files and proceed with the tool. To launch, ensure SG Desktop is running, select Versions or Playlists in the ShotGrid site, right-click, and choose "Make Delivery" from the applications section.

Note: This application is plugin-based, so your configuration may contain a different list of functions than those below.

Launching Make Delivery tool

To start the application, please do one of the following:

Select a group of Versions on a Version List page, right-click, and choose "Make Delivery"

From a Version's Detail page, go to the action menu in the top right corner and choose "Make Delivery"

From a Playlist page, select one or more Playlists, right-click, and choose "Make Delivery"

From a Playlist detail page, go to the action menu in the top right corner, and choose "Make Delivery"

Using the Make Delivery tool

The Make Delivery interface includes two sections, the file list (right side) and the actions (left side).

 

Selecting Files

At the top of the Actions section is a list of all publish formats which will be acted upon - select and deselect from that list to limit the files checked on the right side. Similarly, on the right side, select and deselect groups of files or individual files with the checkboxes.

Copy Published Files plugin

This tool allows the user to copy files linked in SG to a local path, either on the server, to a second disk, or over a VPN. It will create a Delivery in SG as a record of the transfer.

Choose the delivery template setup for the paths, set the location you wish the files to be copied, set the Delivery Name, and decide whether to include an RV session file.

Create Delivery plugin (Artist Anywhere only)

The Create Delivery tool will build a new Delivery to Vendor inside of SG and send it to the vendor via Cyclone.

Set the Delivery Template which will be used for the received files, select the Group who should receive the files (they must be set up with an AA Bucket).

If you check the Create RV Session File checkbox, the selected group will receive rv_session.rv as part of the Delivery.
