Enlarging sections can also be done via hotkeys. Press 1 to view the Nukescripts list on the left only. Press 2 to view the archival list on the right only. Press 1 or 2 again to view both views again.

Create footage report csv for archive

Alongside of the archive_report.txt that contains technical information about the archive, smartCollects also exports a footage_report.csv file that represents a table of all archived media. For each media you see details about the source path, frame range, file type, resolution, size on disk, etc. The archive report is located inside your chosen archive folder:

Add statistics to archive report

The archive_report.txt contains now several additional statistics about your archive, e.g. Archive duration, number of nodes, number of files, average archive duration per file, file size, nodes report, etc:
