Editorial Object

The EditorialObject represents a way of organising your clips into logical units such as shooting days, episodes, topics, customers, etc.

Many kinds of EditorialObject exist in Limecraft Flow.

Property Reference

The fields of an EditorialObject are documented here.

Common types of EditorialObject: about objectType and funnel

Two fields determine what kind of EditorialObject we are dealing with: the objectType and the funnel.

The objectType determines the particular subclass of EditorialObject in use, and usually results in some additional fields on the object. Possible values of objectType are chosen from a predetermined limited list.

The funnel, on the other hand, is only a logical means of discerning different kinds of EditorialObject, but a different funnel does not result in a different structure. This allows using the same objectType for different applications (by using a different funnel).
