The Manual Roster Problem

You know code replacement saves time captioning. But building the files? That’s where hours disappear.

📋

The Copy-Paste Marathon

Hunting down current rosters, copying hundreds of names one by one, cross-referencing multiple sources because PDFs are outdated.

🔄

Never-Ending Updates

That rookie called up yesterday? Player traded at the deadline? Jersey number changes? Manual tracking means missed updates.

⚠️

Duplicate Disasters

Two players wearing #23? Time to manually create suffixes and hope you don’t accidentally overwrite one with the other.

📝

Repetitive Torture

Building the same file for conference rivals for the 15th time this season. Same teams, same tedious process, every single game.

Your Roster Building, Automated

Keep your Photo Mechanic workflow. Just eliminate the worst part of it.

Instant Roster Access

Select your league and teams. Every player loads automatically from continuously updated databases. No more PDF hunting.

🎯

Smart Duplicate Handling

Automatic unique suffixes for duplicate numbers. Football even uses position-based codes (15o for offense, 15d for defense).
