IO Tools#
Overview#
The Prism IO Tools allow you to automate advanced workflows typically required for VFX projects.
These tools have been developed in collaboration with multiple studios to ensure high quality and enough flexibility for different production use-cases.
Although these tools are used in production by some studios, they should be still considered as “Beta” since they are under very active development.
The IO Tools are part of the Prism Pro plan. Please contact the support if you want to see a demo of these tools.
Ingest Tool#
The ingest tool allows studios to ingest plates, CDLs, LUTs and other files received from the client into the current project.
During the ingestion the plates can be processed using Nuke templates to convert colorspaces or generate proxies.
The ingest tool can be opened from the “IO Tools” menu in the Prism Project Browser.
The individual steps of the ingestion and the template paths are configured in json files.
More information coming soon.
Version Zero Tool#
The Version Zero tool uses a Nuke script to render out a shot, publish it to Shotgrid and put it on a playlist, which can be run through the delivery tool to generate Version Zeros for a client.
The tool can be triggered from the “Actions” menu when rightclicking shots in the Prism Project Browser.
The settings are configured in a json file.
More information coming soon.
Delivery Tool#
The delivery tool let’s you select a Shotgrid playlist and process the versions in it for client deliveries.
The versions can be run through Nuke templates to generate exrs and quicktimes with slate and burn-ins in the client specification.
The delivery tool can be opened from the “IO Tools” menu in the Prism Project Browser.
More information coming soon.
