Each hour you spend copying rosters from PDFs is an hour you're not covering the game. Sports photographers save hours by automating their most tedious task — building roster files by hand.
Manually copying rosters before each game
Select teams and generate complete file
You know shortcodes save time captioning. But building the roster files? That's where hours disappear.
Hunting down current rosters, copying hundreds of names one by one, cross-referencing multiple sources because PDFs are outdated.
That rookie called up yesterday? Player traded at the deadline? Jersey number changes? Manual tracking means missed updates.
Two players wearing #23? Time to manually create suffixes and hope you don't accidentally overwrite one with the other.
Building the same file for conference rivals for the 15th time this season. Same teams, same tedious process, every single game.
Keep your Photo Mechanic or GalleryID Desktop workflow. Just eliminate the worst part of it.
Select your league and teams. Every player loads automatically from continuously updated databases. No more PDF hunting.
Automatic unique suffixes for duplicate numbers. Football even uses position-based codes (15o for offense, 15d for defense).
Save your configuration as a template. Next game against the same teams? One click loads everything.
Save your referee shortcodes, venue shortcodes, and action shortcodes as reusable sets. Load them into any roster file with one click.
Real scenarios. Real time savings.
SnapCaption generates TSV roster files compatible with Photo Mechanic, GalleryID Desktop, Adobe Bridge, and Capture One.
