What it is
ftrack Studio is a platform for shot management, production tracking, scheduling, and media review. Its cloud-based interface supports team management, planning thousands of shots, and creating reports. Teams can map milestones and task dates on timelines and schedule people with a calendar. Configurable views, dashboards, kanban boards, time tracking, comments, and to-do notes support production tracking. For review, users can examine dailies, sketch ideas, and share real-time feedback with colleagues or clients. Publishing an asset with a name already in use creates a new version, and media can be converted to HTML5 video for internal review. Integrations include creative applications such as Foundry Nuke, Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Autodesk Maya, and Cinema 4D. The API supports Python, JavaScript, and cURL. Studio includes 250GB of storage for review media, thumbnails, and metadata. The Studio plan costs $30 a month, billed monthly, with the first 14 days free; no free plan is listed.
