From http://motion6.com/blog/2008/04/29/vfx_project_tools

• Compbase appears to be a database to track shots and assets. There is no real information on the site, only a PNG showing some of the forms.
• Shotgun is a system installed at a few big studios.
• Flowsmith is installed in at least one facility in San Francisco I know of. Sadly, their site has no information on it.

Digital Content Management systems These facilitate content management within a facility. They do a good job of cataloging assets, letting you search and preview assets, versioning files, and tracking metadata.

• Final Cut Server

Workflow Management Tools These tools help organize the workflow, tracking the dependencies between source materials and work products, allowing versioning, and tracking approvals.

• GridIron Flow
• Mogul from Imagineer Systems (mocha, motor, etc.)

Softwares for Media & Entertainment Summary

We can divide the project management industry (for entertainment) in 4 main sectors: 1- Assets management Definition: Assets management is a tool to help studios manage their content, files & physical assets. 2- Project management: Definition: Project management mainly looks over time schedules & time tracking. 3- Client management: Definition: Client management looks over client demands and changes. 4- Social Networking: Definition: Create networks and publish artists and company work & reels.
