View select reels as a grid
Scroll a grid of numbered thumbnails instead of scrubbing through a forty-minute reel.
Import your selects reel and view each shot on an interactive grid. Mark your favorites and export shot numbers, frame numbers and timecodes.
Turn the stringout into shots
Render the selects sequence out of your NLE as one file and drag it in. StoryFolder reads the picture and cuts the file into shots where the picture changes. Each one gets a thumbnail and a place in the grid, in cut order.
A stringout, a selects reel and dailies all import the same way.
Mark your favorites
Or get granular with custom metadata like star ratings, tags, dropdowns or whatever else your workflow needs.

I'll upload the Selects timeline to Frame.io and they can comment on takes they like. With a linked timeline I can then easily grab what they prefer.
You could make the argument for the client to just come to the editing bay and watch it back but today, that's not realistic
Maya Mumma, ACE, described keeping a sequence named "good things" for anything she did not want to forget, in an interview with ProVideoCoalition.
