Features

Planning

Every successful project starts with a solid plan. Schedule your productions from start to finish and keep track of progress using Studio Overview for a bird’s eye view of everything happening at your studio across different projects and departments.

Broad stroke planning

Quickly map out a project from a top-down fashion by laying

 out all phases in a timeline with key milestones. A perfect

 tool for producers and supervisors to effectively plan

 the preliminary stages of a project. More detailed planning

 with individual tasks can then be defined with start and

 end times.

Team management

Clearly see the schedule of team members in a calendar view for insights into utilization and upcoming vacations. With robust user management, team members can be assigned to groups per project or globally for every project. Easily manage your talent for effective and efficient resource planning to ensure your projects stay on budget and on track.

Production Tracking

Production tracking is the beating heart of every project. ftrack Studio helps you succeed with a range of powerful, intuitive tools designed with producers, supervisors and artists in mind. Streamline your production process by using workflows suited to your project and collaborate with teammates globally.

The volume of work we had to get through would not have been possible, if it were not for the ability to make the whole process as automated as possible using ftrack.
