Hedge Offshoot 24.2 Update Released

Software Update

by Jose PradaJuly 15^th, 2024

Hedge recently released a significant update for OffShoot, with new features that aim to handle sources more flexibly. The three main improvements are Independent Sources, Batch Review, and Moving Files. Let’s take a look at those!

OffShoot is a media management app by Hedge, a Dutch software company behind programs like Arctic and Canister. After the last update where the brand included the Stop & Resume feature, OffShoot 24.2 sees the light with three significant add-ons to the software. 

OffShoot 24.2: three new features

With the ‘Independent Sources’ feature, OffShoot allows users to specify if they want to consider a selection of files and folders as a single Collection or as Independent Sources. This way, you don’t need to drag the folders individually to label them as was the case until OffShoot 24.2. 

The ‘Batch Review’ function allows users to review a Preset for each source separately. The new version gives us control by selecting if we want to review Sources one by one or simultaneously. The default workflow is to Batch Add the Sources, which works with workflows that don’t require a Preset or if the Preset doesn’t need the user to add data for custom elements like Project, Scene, or Take. If the Preset has custom Elements different for each source, the Batch Add Sources feature shows you the Review panel sequentially for each source. 

‘Moving files’ allows the users to move their data with OffShoot, skipping Finder and Explorer, which can make them lose track quickly. OffShoots detects when Source and Destination are in the same volume and allows us to move instead of copy it. 

These new features show their potential when used together, and they are an improvement to a program that keeps growing with each update.

Price and availability

OffShoot 24.2 is now available at $149 for new licenses and $79 if you need to extend an old license. A 10-day trial with full functionality is available here. For more information, please check Hedge’s blog.
