Frequently Asked Questions

How does project management help with animation production schedules?

You can create animation projects with phases for pre-production, production, and post-production. Tasks break down each phase: script, storyboards, assets, animation, compositing, and rendering. This ensures all pre-production is complete before animation begins, and production progresses systematically. You can track progress at the scene or shot level.

Can you track animation workflows by scene or shot?

Yes, you can organize animation tasks by scene or shot with individual deadlines. Tasks can include animation style, compositing requirements, and review status. This helps you track production progress at a granular level and identify bottlenecks. You can see which scenes are complete, in progress, or blocked.

How does this help with client approval workflows?

You can create tasks for client reviews at key stages: storyboards, style frames, animation tests, and final renders. Clients can review work through the client portal and provide feedback directly. Tasks track approval status and ensure revisions are incorporated before moving to the next phase. This prevents production delays from approval bottlenecks.

What about asset management and delivery?

You can create tasks for asset creation, organization, and delivery. Tasks can include asset checklists and delivery requirements. Final delivery tasks ensure all required formats and resolutions are prepared. Files can be organized in project folders and shared through the client portal for easy access.
