Autodesk ShotGrid vs. GQueues

ShotGrid seems to be well suited for a video team for reviews and project tracking. It may not be well suited for Project managers who need to see the bigger picture of the project.

I have recommended it and I will continue to do so. I think it is great for our industry and it is very affordable.

• Uploads videos efficiently
• allows annotation within the video
• setting custom filters
• creating Gantt chart with inputs from each editor and animator
• adding versions to shot/asset
• adding assets to a shot

Incentivized

• Real time task management
• Notifications to employees for new tasks and back to managers when complete
• Linking to Google calendars

Incentivized

• Ordering comments made by different people by timecode/frame number, instead by the time and date the comment was made
• Being able to move an uploaded video from shots to assets and vice versa. Right now we have to re-upload but lose any comments made already if they were in the wrong place
• Custom filters are great but they could get a little confusing with all the options. Might help with guidelines or a place we could ask what we want and someone could answer with the best way to achieve those specific filters we want

• Sharing with a non-Gqueues user can be frustrating
• Archiving an entire queue for resurrection later if for an annual event
• Occasionally hiccups when syncing between mobile app and pc

For education, we can't see ourselves using anything else that comes at a cost

It's UI/UX is very robust. There's a lot of functionality but it's not very intuitive or intuitive. I spend time with new hires and contractors to overview ShotGrid for a day and revisit after a week or two. Questions always arise down the line

They are very responsive via email.

Wipster had limitations on video uploads, which was a major drawback. One thing we liked with Wipster was how we can see comments made in order on the timeline while watching the video.

Our small leadership team tried to use Wrike for a while but I moved back to GQueues after a 3 month trial period. I found the lack of keyboard shortcuts in Wrike made it cumbersome to use. I like the simplicity and use of color in GQueues.

Incentivized

• We spend less time going back and forth with different stakeholders on shots and assets
• We don't have to pay services that only provided trial versions
• There is unlimited video uploading which was not the case with wiz

• Good value. I've been able to set it up to do what I need to do at a much lower cost than some of the more sophisticated tools available.
