FAQ

Scottish Premiership roster & captioning FAQ

How do I use Scottish Premiership code replacements in Photo Mechanic?

Download the .txt file from Sideline, then in Photo Mechanic go to Metadata → Set Code Replacements and select your file. Type a shortcode in any IPTC field and Photo Mechanic expands it to a full player line.

Can I build Scottish Premiership roster files with Sideline?

Yes. Sideline supports Scottish Premiership in its professional soccer roster workflow. Choose your caption style and export a ready-to-import code replacement file.

Can Sideline AI-caption my Scottish Premiership photos?

Yes. The same rosters you build here power Sideline Captions on macOS. Point it at a folder of game images and it reads jersey numbers, matches players from your roster, and writes publication-ready captions in AP, Getty, or Imagn style — no shortcodes to type.

Should I use code replacements, AI captions, or both?

It depends on your workflow. Code replacements are great when you are captioning manually in Photo Mechanic and want instant player names from shortcodes. AI captioning shines when you need to get through a full card fast — Sideline writes the entire caption from the image and roster context. Many Scottish Premiership photographers use both on the same assignment, and both are included in one Sideline subscription.

Can I generate code replacements for other sports too?

Yes — the full league list covers 340+ leagues across 16 sports, from high school to the pros. Same workflow everywhere: pick a matchup, download your code file, and caption with code replacements or AI.

Rosters are just the start.
