FAQ
Common Kaish Analyst file and workflow questions, including media, portability, exports, and window behavior.
Is Kaish Analyst a recording app or a review app?
It is both. It records live video, creates tags, reviews existing video, organizes clips, builds presentations, and exports files from one package-backed Mac workflow.
What is the main project file?
The main project file is .kaishcapturepro.
Does a .kaishcapturepro package always include video media?
Not always. A package can reference external media. Use Media Manager to consolidate media into the package, or use Standalone Package with Media when you need a self-contained handoff.
What is .kaishcode?
.kaishcode stores review rows/tags, timing, notes, labels, segment order, alignment, and media information. A current portable package may contain media; a legacy or reference-style file may keep external paths and require relinking.
What is the difference between project clips and a clip library?
Project/package clips belong to the active Analyst project. A reference .kaishclips library can be reused across projects while keeping source references. A portable .kaishcliplibrarypack is intended to copy required validated clip media.
What should I use for a self-contained share?
Use a validated portable document: .kaishdeckpack for a standalone presentation, .kaishcliplibrarypack for a portable library, or .kaishclippack for selected portable clips. Move a test copy away from the source folder and play representative ranges before sharing it.
Are Review rows automatically sent to clips or a presentation?
No. Kaish Analyst uses explicit send/add actions. Focus the intended destination, add one test clip, and verify its name before sending a batch.
Why are player and on-ice reports empty?
Player and on-ice outputs require rows with player metadata. The app does not invent player participation from generic labels.
Why do document icons still look generic in Finder?
Finder may cache icons. Relaunch Finder or rebuild LaunchServices. If icons still do not appear after a clean installed build, the app may need standalone document icon resources in addition to asset catalog image sets.
