Autodesk ShotGrid vs. SAPPHIRE Structure

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.

In our organisation, we are 10 designers working with sapphire. We are able to design multiple units of building without any problems. The learning curve is not small but when you start to master the software, it is incredible. The precision of this software is amazing. If needed, you can easily share your file with a coworker if you need helps...

• 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

• Automatically generating different elements to save time.
• Designing and calculating elements.
• Providing a clear material listing.

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

Incentivized

• Not friendly user
• Maybe providing to many options to do one thing.
• Big Learning curve if you want to to big buildings.

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

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.

SAPPHIRE is way more complete and precise than EzCad. You can't just draw a bunch of lines and make it works( even if in reality it doesn't work). Your work needs to make sense in order to design it. If you make mistakes the software will tell you and you will need to correct your mistakes.

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

Incentivized

• Faster turn around time
• More precise than ever
• Great data exportation
