Reel Name

‘Reel name' refers to a unique identifier given to a specific roll or batch of footage, whether it's captured on film or digitally.

In post-production, the reel name helps organise and track various sequences or shots, ensuring that editors, colourists, and other professionals can efficiently locate and work with the correct footage. Especially in long or complex projects, consistent reel naming conventions are crucial for streamlining workflows and preventing issues with the conform.
