In the media industry we tend to spin a lot f myths and magic around what is in essence tech and science. That isn't strange.
At the heart of all we are artists, not scientists.

But when something as basic as validated copies gets confused by myths, you end up risking your files. Somethings can not be done faster than physically possible, and what "hash" you use isn't the key element.

Thus we did this writeup to de-confuse what is needed to do a verified copy, what it is and how you can test our and others software as to file-security. The matter has become so confused that we clearly cannot trust "approved by" statements.

Yup it is a bit technical, but the point is important

Sometimes it seems "green and sustainable production" is defined by re-usable cups on-set, without addressing the impact by unnecessary moving people around from where they can work the best, burning out new people in the industry by having them sit up all night waiting for files or the mountains of Orange Disks littering back-rooms as inefficient archives of ... practically nothing after a while.

Selectively download assets from QuineCore

QuineCore has lots of tools for automatically downloading the files you need as they get ready, but what if you just need a few of them, but spread over the entire production?
