Bi-directional data sync

Database Power.
Spreadsheet Familiarity. Connected.

Post-production teams live in two worlds. Editors work in Avid. Producers live in Google Sheets—tracking deliverables, managing budgets, coordinating vendors. Now they talk to each other in real-time. No manual updates. No version confusion.

Manual Updates vs. Real-Time Sync

Without Google Sheets Sync

  • Upload sequence to populate trackers
  • Editor recuts the sequence
  • Someone manually updates the sheet
  • Vendors and producers get outdated data
  • Version confusion across teams
  • Repeated manual data entry

Result: Confusion, wasted time, outdated information.

With Developing Tank

  • Connect your Google Sheet once
  • Database and sheet stay in sync automatically
  • Producers edit sheets; changes flow back
  • Vendors always see current data
  • Real-time updates, no delays
  • One source of truth across all systems

Result: Current data, zero manual work, perfect alignment.

Producers & Post Supervisors

Keep tracking sheets current without manual updates. New deliverables, budget changes, and vendor updates sync automatically.

VFX Supervisors

Sync shot status with external vendors instantly. No version confusion. Everyone sees the exact same current data.

Assistant Editors

Upload your bin or EDL once. Producers see your updates in real-time without manual requests or data entry.

Bi-directional architecture

Two Systems, One Source of Truth

Connect your Developing Tank project to a Google Sheet. Every change flows automatically in both directions. New VFX shots detected in the database appear in Sheets instantly. Producers edit shot status, add vendor notes, or update budgets—changes flow back to the database in real-time. One authoritative source across all systems.

  • VFX shots and timecodes sync automatically in real-time
  • ADR notes, continuity, and editorial changes flow instantly
  • Music cue sheets and stock footage tracking stay current
  • Producers can edit sheets; changes reflect back in database
  • Works across multiple sheets and tabs in one file

VFX tracking

Shot status, timecodes, descriptions, and vendor notes all sync automatically as your project evolves.

ADR & dialogue

ADR notes created in Developing Tank appear in your producer's sheet instantly for coordination and tracking.

Continuity reports

Continuity data syncs to sheets where producers can view, annotate, and share with editorial and vendors.

Music & cue sheets

Music cue sheets and stock footage tracking stay in sync across database and sheets without manual updates.

Sync capabilities

Complete Integration Between Database and Google Sheets

Bi-directional sync

Database changes flow to sheets. Producer edits flow back to database. Not one-way exports—true bidirectional synchronization.

Real-time updates

Changes sync instantly, not in batch cycles or daily exports. The instant someone updates a field, both systems reflect the change.

Custom field mapping

Define which fields sync between systems. Intelligent matching means you can map database fields to custom columns without manual setup.

Multi-sheet support

Set up syncing across multiple sheets and tabs in the same Google Sheets file so sensitive data stays on private sheets.
