Toronto, Canada -- eyeon Software announced the worldwide release of their Generation visual effects and post production workflow management system, now referred to as Generation AM.

“Our creative experience with the VFX and post production industry highlighted the need for better ways to organize and manage projects, and we are very committed to bring the right solution to production. When you launch Generation for the first time, you will immediately see what it does and how it can streamline your facility.” Steve Roberts, CEO eyeon Software

With a global push for higher efficiencies, studios need to accelerate creativity while mastering the recurring demands of production. Gone are the days of wasting time and effort moving data around, scrambling to find elements or projects, sorting through naming conventions, and all too often with late-night re-dos… eyeon Software has developed a better way to manage the workload.

Generation AM provides the essential tools to organize the entire team, automate tasks and deliverables, and sustain precise communication. This transparent collaboration supports up-to-the-minute details of jobs, talent, and deadlines, which is quite different to other applications. Designed with a scripting engine from the ground up, Generation AM is a flexible and customizable visual frontend to any studio’s pipeline. Playback and stereo playback, dailies reviews, shot notes, task lists, assignments, job status tracking, version history and delivery, are key to successfully managing all aspects of the workflow and completing the work on time and on budget.

Generation AM can run both Lua and Python scripts to match any facility’s environment. Not only can you control everything remotely via script but, since all the metadata is stored as XML, all implementations, from adding comments to modifying entire projects, can be done from within other applications as well.
