Moving from CLZ Movies
Sync the CLZ Movies app to CLZ Cloud, then export a CSV file on cloud.clz.com and choose it in Film Vault. Every disc comes across with its format and edition, wish list discs go to your buy list, and films you have seen are ticked as seen.
Why Film Vault
Your collection is free to keep, however big it gets, and every disc is a scan away. Then there's everything a collection app leaves out: a diary of what you watch, ratings and reviews, your stats, and friends to share it with. Already on CLZ? Bring your whole collection across, formats and editions included.
Questions
Is Film Vault free?
Yes. Your collection, the barcode scanner, your diary and the apps are all free, with no adverts and no subscription. A few optional extras can be bought in the app.
Can I bring my CLZ collection?
Yes. Export a CSV file from CLZ Cloud and choose it in Film Vault. Your discs come across with their formats and editions, and running it again never adds a disc twice.
Does the scanner know UK releases?
It reads the barcode on most DVD, Blu-ray and 4K releases. If one is not found, search by title and add it by hand.
