Shoot your shot with ShotGrid
Rating: 7 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
- 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
Cons
- 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
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
