Video production project management

Hi all,

I’m in video production, short and long form video. We’re thinking about adding new in-house shooter/editors and we want to be able to have a centralized location for keeping track of hours put into a project, quoted pricing and information, and room to update as we go. If we add new folks it’ll be due to a new contact that’ll keep everybody hopping at nice pace, and we want to be able to have one place to track all projects and pricing, as well as communicate new and updated info.

For instance, I get a call from Client A and they want blue text in their commercial. I update the project file and leave. The editor opens up the software and sees the note about blue text. Blue text means he has to revise the white text he used yesterday, resulting in two extra hours of work. And all this is tracked.

We’d prefer some networkable piece of software in-house as opposed to an online app. We’ve looked at the fine stuff from 37 Signals and Omni Group.

Thanks much,

Joey
