Tracking, Versioning and Review for Postproduction
Generation is an application which provides a visual canvas and collaborative platform
for managing postproduction pipelines.
The result is an integrated post workflow for supervisors and artist teams.
The entire application is scriptable with both Lua and Python
so facilities can integrate their existing in-house tools, including asset management,
rather than having to modify their existing pipeline to fit with Generation.
"The most complete and feature-rich review and collaboration application to date!
An indispensable tool for our workflow."
Marc Weigert, Uncharted Territory
Collaboration
From the beginning, Generation was developed within studio environments to ensure that it meshed with real-world conditions.
The Generation interface combines a comprehensive shot-tracking system with an editing panel
for working with sub-projects and playlists.
The system includes Annotation and grease pencil drawing tools for live discussions of shots or sequences.
Comments entered by one artist appear immediately on any connected machines, whether on the same LAN
or at remote locations connected via VPN.
This way, a complete record of decisions and client requests can be saved with each Project.
Version Management
Revision histories for every shot are displayed as thumbnail stacks with the most recent version at the bottom
of the Storyboard view.
This current version plays back automatically but, during Playback, one can easily switch to any other version available.
Custom playlists can easily be be built and conformed as well.
If changes to a composite shot have been made since the last rendering of a Clip,
Generation visually flags that shot for re-rendering.
