Assistant editors
Catch changes from uploaded sequences instead of reviewing cuts by eye. Generate reports for editorial, post supervisors, and vendors.
Change tracking and continuity reporting
Don't rewrite continuity every cut. Reports build themselves from your sequence.
Instead of manually comparing cuts and updating reports, Developing Tank analyzes two sequence versions and generates continuity reports showing what changed: added scenes, deleted shots, timing shifts, and reorders. Your team reviews findings before handoff to vendors.

Manual continuity work vs. automated reports
Without Developing Tank
- Open two Avid sequences side-by-side
- Compare clips one-by-one manually
- Update continuity spreadsheet by hand
- Update cue sheets and marker logs separately
- Email reports to vendors and editorial
- Fix changes you missed after handoff
With Developing Tank
- Upload both sequence versions
- Review detected changes after upload
- Export continuity, music cue sheets, marker logs
- All reports from the same source data
- PDF, CSV, and Excel outputs ready to share
- Review changes before handoff
Post supervisors
Track what changed across cuts. Make informed decisions about approvals, turnovers, music fixes, and graphics updates with real data.
Production teams
Share accurate continuity, music cue sheets, and marker data from the same source.
Inputs
Two sequence versions (AVB / AAF / EDL)
Process
Compare cuts, detect changes, categorize additions/deletions/shifts
Outputs
Continuity reports (PDF/CSV) + omissions + cue sheets

Sequence comparison to paperwork
Analyze two cuts and generate reports
Upload two sequence versions. Developing Tank identifies additions, deletions, timing shifts, and reorders, then organizes the findings for review before vendor handoff.
- Detects additions, deletions, reorders, and timing shifts automatically
- Highlights changes by category for focused editorial review
- Generates continuity, music cue sheets, and marker logs
- Exports reports as PDF, CSV, or Excel
- Syncs data with Google Sheets for producer and vendor visibility
Continuity reports
Track what changed between versions and prepare reviewable data for editorial and production.
Stock footage rundowns
Use current sequence and tracker data to keep shot handoff paperwork aligned with the cut.
Music and cue sheets
Centralize report generation so recurring paperwork starts from structured project data.
Marker logs
Capture notes and locators in a format that can move between editorial review and reports.
Editor's logs
Keep a structured editor's log of sequence versions, changes reviewed, and decisions made. Export it alongside your continuity and omission reports.
Progress reports
Generate production progress reports directly from sequence data and VFX tracking status, not from a manually maintained spreadsheet.
Report types
Reports generated from sequence changes
Continuity report generator
Compare sequence versions and produce a reviewable continuity report showing additions, removals, timing shifts, and reordered material before editorial or vendor handoff.
Change list generator
Turn cut differences into structured change notes so assistants and post supervisors can review what moved, what changed length, and what needs follow-up.
Music cue sheet software
Use structured sequence and project data as the foundation for cue-sheet exports instead of recreating recurring music paperwork from scratch each time.
Marker log export
Keep marker and locator notes connected to the project database, then export them for editorial review, production communication, and downstream reporting.
VFX rundown software
Connect current sequence data with VFX tracking so rundowns and shot handoff paperwork stay aligned with the latest cut.
Post-production paperwork automation
Use one source of truth for documents that are usually maintained separately: continuity, VFX rundowns, cue sheets, and progress reports.
Editor's log export
Maintain a structured editor's log tied to each sequence version. Export a reviewable record without maintaining a separate document by hand.
Production progress reports
Pull progress report data from VFX tracking status, sequence versions, and cut history.
Get cuts out fasterFind high-impact changes before the team starts a manual comparison pass.
Fewer missed changesPut adds, deletes, reorders, and timing shifts in a structured review flow.
Clearer communicationGive production and vendors paperwork that follows the same source data.
