Your Shootsta Dollars balance now lives in the platform. Use it to cover project charges like captions, voiceovers and social iterations when you submit a project.
Good news for anyone with a Shootsta Dollars balance. Your balance now sits inside the platform, and you can put it towards the charges on a project the moment you submit. No separate invoice to chase, and no back and forth with your editor halfway through.
Here is a quick walkthrough, then the detail on what changed and how to use it.
What are Shootsta Dollars?
Shootsta Dollars are a pre-purchased balance that sits in your account, ready to cover the extra charges on a project: captions, voiceovers and social iterations. They are part of your retainer, so the balance is value you already hold with us. If you want to know more or top up, your account manager can walk you through it.
What has changed?
Two things. First, your Shootsta Dollars balance is now visible in your workspace, so you can see what you have and where it goes. Second, when you submit a project you can choose to cover its charges with that balance instead of being invoiced.
The decision is made once, up front, at the point of submission. That takes a few steps out of the process and lets your balance do the work for you.
Do you still need credits to submit a video?
Yes. You still use your video credits to submit and produce the video itself, the same way you always have. Shootsta Dollars are for the charges that sit on top of a project, like captions, voiceovers and social iterations, not the video submission.
