cineSync + Shotgun

The amount of media generated by a project can be enormous — a well designed pipeline is essential.

In a perfect world, you should be able to move seamlessly from one process to the next, never having to go sideways, no double handling, no manual processes where automated ones would be better.

Shotgun Software and cineSync have joined forces to offer a comprehensive integration between the best project management tool available and the world's leading remote review and approval software. By having Shotgun and cineSync work together, end users can optimize workflows, minimize errors and improve collaboration and communication across facilities and teams regardless of their geographical location.

With cineSync 3.0, Shotgun users will be able to create playlists from within the Shotgun interface and launch cineSync sessions with the click of a button. Any metadata stored with the media can be exported to the review session.

Similarly, any notes, drawings, colour changes or saved frames in your cineSync 3.0 session can simply exported back to Shotgun, with all data being saved against the correct version of the shot. No more manual entry of saved notes, no more transcribing, no more exporting frames and linking them one by one - it's just a single command in cineSync 3.0.

These are all customisable, script based processes. Our Shotgun-integration installer provides you with the necessary scripts to make it all work, which you can further customise according to your own specific setup. You can add new scripts to perform new functions or to bring other applications into the pipeline, be it exporting simple list based notes and data to something like Excel, exporting media to other local players... There really is no limit.

The cineSync / Shotgun integration is available as an easily installable package and is free with any cineSync Pro account.
