FOR DISTRIBUTING DAILIES & CUTS TO PRODUCTIONS

For the best CORE experience, use the Chrome browser. CORE is also supported in Safari as well as Firefox. 

Logging In & Setting Up CORE

1. Login to your desktop browser at client 5th Kind url.  At first login, you’ll be prompted to accept a general license agreement. Accept it, and you’ll be redirected to CORE. 
2. Upon logging in, install the Aspera Connect plugin as prompted by the application. 
3. Go to your upload icon in the top bar, and select the “More - 3 dots”. Set your upload option to Aspera.

CORE Icons Overview

The icons you see in the left menu and top right header are related to what permissions you’ve been granted. For any questions about your user access rights, contact your system administrator.

Dashboard  Select a project to go to that project’s packages in your Inbox.	File Search  Asset directory - find files you’ve uploaded or been given permission to see.	Inbox  Email style inbox for your packages (CORE’s version of an email).	History View files you’ve accessed in the system, and a handy search tool.	Transfers  View all downloads and uploads. Access uploads you need to finish tagging.
Users  The users you can see, and the user lists you have access to or have created.	Help Select to access external user manual.	Upload  Upload large files or batches of files quickly with Aspera. Aspera is off when “A” isn’t visible.	More Menu  On Upload enables you to switch Aspera on or off. On Packages, it enables batch uploading via CSV or ALE.	Packages  Create and manage packages of assets that you compile for sharing.

Receiving & Reordering Packages from Dailies Vendor

When you receive a package from your Dailies Vendor, you’ll receive an email notification. Select the link to open the files in CORE. If you aren’t already logged in, you’ll be prompted to do so. The Dailies Vendor should have sent you the package with the ability to Forward and Modify. If they forgot and you are unable to modify the package, create a new package with the same files by following the instructions for Reorder Package Via List in Package Panel.

Note: Reordering files is best done in Chrome. 5th Kind is working on improvements to upgrade this experience across browsers which will be rolled out in 2022 Q3 and Q4 respectively.

Reorder Package Via Thumbnails

To reorder via thumbnails:

1. Select the package in your Inbox to open it.
2. Select the thumbnail of the file you want to move and hover over the files where you want to place it.
3. An Insert Here box will appear. Drop the file there.
4. Repeat until complete.

Your package can now be shared by selecting the Share icon at the top . Follow the sharing instructions on page 3.

Reorder Package Via List in Package Panel

If reordering by thumbnails just isn’t working, you can reorder the package via the Package Panel, with a couple extra steps:

1. Select the package in your Inbox to open it.
2. Go to the right side bar, and select the Package icon . This will open the Package Panel.
3. Select the +New  button.
4. Copy and paste the name of your package into the Enter Name field or give it a new name as desired. Hit the Create button.
5. Select the + icon in the top bar. This will add the files as a list in the Package Panel.
6. To reorder the files within this list, select the gray bar on the left of each file to drag it to a new position.
7. Repeat until complete.

Your package can now be shared by selecting the Share button at the bottom of the panel.

Resharing Dailies Packages (Film)

Once your package has been reordered and is ready to send, share it. You will send two packages:

1. Share Package with Studio for redistribution

2. Share Package with Production stakeholders

To upload your own Editorial files to CORE:

1. Begin by clicking the Upload icon . If you don’t see the Aspera logo on the icon , select the More menu to select Aspera.

Tagging your files in CORE is like putting files in folders. From the Upload Viewer, populate these fields to upload your dailies:
