Updates on Cutcaster Site Development

We have been improving our site daily and getting a bunch of feedback from early users. We are building a testing environment and have streamlined a lot of our development so things should move more smoothly and faster now. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up as to what we are looking at improving next and fixing in the meantime. These features will be updated in the testing environment and moved to the site in the next revision in a few days. I'm not sure if we will have all of them ready to go but here are a few we are working on.

1. Registration process- We will get rid of the invite access so people can move around after they sign up and don't need to wait for us to up their clearance. That was a pain.

2. Upload page, upload 2 page- We are working on integrating the metadata we collect into our mySQL database better, ghosting out fields that you don't need to see on the upload 2 page which can be confusing i.e. audio fields still showing when uploading a video file, and determining which the required fields are so we can properly release and offer your content. I'm really excited to get this working.

3. The Media details page- It will now only show what is relevant to file and what the buyers needs to make an informed purchase.

4. Clipfolders functionality- Build out the clipfolder capacity so buyers can organize footage and photos.

5. Improve our review process so we can review and release your files faster to the marketplace.

6. Get the studio commenting up and working so people can leave comments on your pages.

7. Setting up Content Requirements- Right now images are not displaying correctly because if the file dimensions are too small, under 1400 x 1000, the image is being cropped. We are working on a solution for this as well as adding a watermark to images.

8. Bulk Upload which supports IPTC metadata collection- If you are a photographer you probably know what this means. But the bulk upload will make it easier to upload content to the site in a time efficient manner.

Let us know if there is anything you want worked on over the next month and we will take a look at it. Thanks to the tech team for working on these important sections.
