Infographiste Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Asset and shot management tool we use at my company." January 28, 2018 5.0 Great to centralize your whole pipeline into one tool used by everyone, from production managers to artists. Pros I really like how robust the software is, you can really tweak it to fit your needs. The userbase can get big without any slowing down. Cons The downside is that since you can tweak everything the basic version is not always suitable for your basic needs. Review Source Matteo G. CGI Head of Content Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lo strumento che organizza e aiuta a gestire le produzioni CGI" January 16, 2023 5.0 Nel complesso si tratta di uno strumento fondamentale nell'utilizzo quotidiano e nel supporto e organizzazione delle produzioni CGI Pros La nostra agenzia è cresciuta molto nell'ultimo periodo e di conseguenza sono aumentati i lavori da dover gestire. Shotgrid è lo strumento che ci ha permesso di strutturare e gestire agevolmente le nostre produzioni CGI di diverso tipo senza particolari complessità. Cons L'interfaccia un po' dispersiva richiede più tempo del previsto per saperla padroneggiare in modo speditoNella realizzazione dei GANTT ci sono limitazioni importanti che riducono le possibilità di progettazione Alternatives considered [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/) Reason for choosing Flow Production Tracking Si tratta di un prodotto focalizzato sulle produzioni CGI Review Source AR Andrew R. Producer Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Only works well if you have a team of engineers to customize it" December 10, 2019 3.0 It helps us keep a detailed handle on where tasks are in our pipeline. Especially we have thousands of small tasks that need to be done in a proper order and notify the downstream departments when you're done. And for that Shotgun has really helped make sure that tasks aren't falling through the cracks or just not notifying the right people. Pros It solves a lot of problems for us by pulling together data management, task management and creative reviews all into one ecosystem. All off competing softwares don't do all three. This product works great for very large film/tv projects with 500+ users, consistent pipelines and dedicated resources for pipeline and production TDs to help set it up, and integrate into your workflows. Cons Basic setup and management can be convoluted. Once it's setup it isn't too much hassle or maintenance, but setup will be a long road. If you have a small/ studio, or work on projects that don't follow a consistent production process, then this is not the tool for you. There are some very befuddling pitfalls/limitations to the software that they have not fixed despite being asked numerous times - Notifications/email system is too basic. If you bulk edit 200 tasks, it's going to send 200 emails/notifications. There is also no easy way to subscribe to just the updates that you want. They keep trying to pitch their "follow" system which is like watchers in JIRA, except you can't automatically follow anything, you have to individually/manually follow items. It's archaic. - For a creative review software, their note system is poor. Basically a plain text box that doesn't understand bullets/numbering/other html editing. Also won't keep the text of a note and an image together. It always separates them out and puts the images at the bottom of a note instead of giving you an easy way to connect the two. - Their "super awesome" support tier for $50/per user/month - is anything but awesome. 90% of the time their response will be "you should submit that as an idea to our public roadmap and the product team will review" which in my experience means 'we're not doing that and never will' Alternatives considered [HacknPlan](https://www.capterra.com/p/170907/HacknPlan/)[Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/)[P4 Plan](https://www.capterra.com/p/160025/Hansoft/) Reason for choosing Flow Production Tracking Trello was too simple - didn't allow bulk adding content, data mining, advanced task templates where more than one downstream dependency gets kicked off. You would need to create a crazy web of butler workflows to get it half-work JIRA - doesn't have any creative review features and doesn't work well at all for waterfall scheduling HackNPlan was cool but too small of an organization to get all the features we would need. Again, no bulk adding content. Hansoft - maybe the most robust tracking tool but uglier and even more complicated than Shotgun (if you can even imagine) Switched from [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/) A small part of our team was using it and we thought it would be an improvements on JIRA. Which it was for some things but not for others. Review Source LA Lee A. Artist Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Gets the job done" August 2, 2024 4.0 Overall I have had a very positive experience. It makes productions much quicker and easier to give notes and feed back. Pros I like how customizable it is to any pipeline and how it plays back daily’s. And it links to RV. Cons I wish they never changed the name. Other than that I have no complaints. I wish more people used it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Licensing Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great tool with some useful features" September 24, 2022 5.0 Easily one of the better review softwares I've used in my time, with many other options lagging behind in terms of quality and features. Pros Probably the most useful tool I've found with ShotGrid is the keyboard shortcuts for zoom and pan. It is a simple thing, but makes reviewing images quick and easy. Secondly, the option to include images as part of the notes allows for more specific feedback (a picture being worth a thousand words, after all). Beyond this there is little more than sets ShotGrid apart from all other review software I'm familiar with, but it is certainly on par with other options, if not better. Cons There is nothing not to like about ShotGrid in particular. There are occasional times when I wish for more advanced features, such as leaving comments over multiple frames, but these are very much in the desirable rather than essential category, and are nothing that prevents me from providing full and essential feedback. Review Source YP Yash P. 3D Bodytracking Artist Animation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent for Vfx Industry" December 23, 2022 5.0 Although it is really easy to handle the big projects by managing them on a priority basis. Also keeping a track of all the task by end date. Pros It is really easy to let us know the particular task that you have assigned. Cons Sometimes it will be more easy to use if keep minimal. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CG Supervisor / VFX Artist Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I'm using this software since 1 years as cg supervisor. i've done many project using shotgun." February 16, 2018 4.0 Pros The sofware is used worldwide it's robust. The customization of this software is endless. The RV integration is a great feature Cons Too much pages to access the same information, it's a real maze. The software doesn't always reflect our own workflow, we need to adapt to this software although that is the software that needs to adapt to us.

October 19, 2018 4.0 It took some time to get used to, but I definitely don't regret getting acquainted with it now! As the iteration speed increases with time and tech, it's good to have a really solid project tracking solution for 3DCG. Pros Having a catch-all way to pull and push iterations on various assets really is incredibly convenient! It's much more efficient than versioning since the way that changes are tracked is more descriptive than just what files changed. Cons I used to think that some of the pages looked a little spreadsheet-ish but then it kind of dawned on me that in any high-volume production there's probably not really much wiggle room for things to have a more artsy-fartsy UX. Review Source AS Alex S. Animator Animation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Animator Review" November 16, 2021 4.0 Overall for what i was using it for it was perfectly fine after having a few tutorials, i think if i was spending any longer in it i would be a lot more comfortable over time. Pros I liked being able to see the episode put together through the finished shots, it was easy enough to see what shots i had assigned and at what stage they were at. Cons I still found the interface a little confusing, i used it for 6 months and only used it really to see my shots and to see where they were in the animation pipeline but whenever i tried to do something new i would get a bit lost.
