Reusing thumbnails, filmstrips and mov uploads for Versions or other Entities

Flow Production Tracking

I stumbled across a page recently talking about this but can’t find it. So how do you share between two Versions the same thumbnail, filmstrip and movie upload do as to not waste bandwidth reuploading same media?

Note: the two versions may be linked to other files associated with the movie upload but don’t have their own rendering.

Hey Adrian, I think you’re referring to this:
https://developer.shotgunsoftware.com/python-api/reference.html?highlight=share%20filmstrip#shotgun_api3.shotgun.Shotgun.share_thumbnail

I don’t believe there’s a way to share the same streaming media though.

Hey @gmaskfx,

@Stephen is correct here, there is only an ability to share thumbnails and filmstrip thumbnails via the API Method linked above, not for other media. Thanks Stephen!
