We use ShotGrid to track the progress of lesson edits and individual assets within those lessons that require reviews. We primarily use ShotGrid for feedback reviews with the Subject Matter Expert, Producer Director, Art Director, and Senior Graphics Video Editor. Sometimes we have a third party reviewing as well to help with the Subject Metter Expert. It is used within a large scope almost from beginning to end of production.
  • 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
  • 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
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.
  • Notes/comments by reviewers on uploaded content/videos
  • Tracking the pipeline steps with tasks assigned to different people and noting the start and end dates with the duration.
  • Assigning edits to people in our team
  • Versions to keep notes and comments
  • 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
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.

Project tracking within the video production team and reviews.

Highly organized people with prioritizing skills and some Data Asset Management background.
  • Project tracking for each lesson edit
  • Review notes from different stakeholders
  • Lesson edit and asset assignment
  • Getting better time durations of how long each lesson edit takes to come up with more accurate projections
  • Edit time projections with Gantt chart and task durations
  • Legacy to see easily where similar animations have happened in previous lesson edits
  • Pipeline steps
  • project projection estimates
  • Use with outsourced video team for reviews
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
  • Adding shots or assets
  • Assigning shots/assets to people
  • Making notes on uploaded videos
  • Moving an uploaded video from shot to asset and vice versa
  • Linking an asset to a different shot as a correction
  • Combing through a bunch of notes made at different points in the timeline of a video but sorted by when notes were made
