See where Developing Tank beats spreadsheets, scripts, and FileMaker
Compare the tools you already know against a workflow built to cut manual tracking, dailies prep, and handoff work down to size before you commit to a process.
Post-Production Automation Software Comparison: VFX Tracking, Dailies Prep, and Alternative Workflows
Compare post-production workflows before you commit to a process.
Assistant editors and VFX editors weighing their options will find each comparison covers automation depth, file support, collaboration, and output quality, including the parts where the other tool does the job better.
If you currently use spreadsheets or FileMaker, start with those comparisons. If you maintain your own scripts and want to know whether to hand that work off, read the scripts comparison.
vs: FileMaker Pro
The classic FileMaker database for AEs, if everyone on your team buys a license.
vs: Spreadsheets
Your VFX tracking spreadsheet can't auto-detect shots, generate Avid files, or survive a copy-paste error.
vs: Custom Scripts
A shelf of automation scripts works until the show changes and you are the only one who can fix them.
vs: QuickKeys
QuickKeys replays your clicks, and the replay breaks whenever the setup moves.
