StudioFiles is a database application suggesting total solution for studios management. It uses Audio studios as a model but can efficiently serve video or other production studio types. It is built to supply answers for three general studio needs: projects and studio activities management, studio resources management, and covering studio's business aspects.

This version of StudioFiles is based on the successful predecessor versions though it includes many more features and abilities (See the features list for more details).

 

As part of its commercial features, StudioFiles suggests the Invoices section allowing to create studio invoices that include your studio name and details, recipient details, client payments, and more...

It is possible to create invoice items manually or use the invoice wizard that automatically collects activities based on your search criteria.

The summing table at the bottom includes an automatic calculators that speed up the creation process and help to avoid mistakes.

Each invoice can be saved, printed, exported, and restored from the internal database at later times for viewing and copy printing or exporting to text file.

 

StudioFiles contains booking diary.

The booking tool allows to build a working plan for your studio and avoid time conflicts between sessions.

Each book entry includes parameters like date/time, client, engineer, studio room, etc... letting you build a detailed view of upcoming events and sessions in your studio.

The various built in filters allow to display events selectively. This option makes it possible to manage few parallel diaries at the same time. Each one relates to different studio room, project, client or even an engineer.

Events can be converted into project sessions with only one button click.

 

The Media libraries section lets you organize all your media resources (WAV files, MP3 files, AVI files, MPEG files, etc..).

An important helper for this section is the Media Scanner. This tool lets you specify a location (folder) to be scanned and with one button click all media files (based on the specified filter) that are found inside (including sub-folders) will be added automatically into current selected library.

This automatic tool is excellent in cases you need to manage huge media resources and libraries.

 

StudioFiles is built with a unique tables architecture. Each table's cell responds differently when its edit mode is activated , depends on the type of data it holds. some cells show simple text boxes, others include drop down lists divided into categories and some respond by displaying special date/time controls with optional pop up calendars.

These 'small tricks' are very useful by helping to create fluent usage and saving time.
