What do you like best about Shotgun?

I love that we can organize assets by name and category, and track delivery dates. We can also deliver through SG to clients, which really helps to accelerate the process. I also like that, on each project, we can organize it differently on the same platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shotgun?

There is a bit of a learning curve to the system since there are many, many options available. However, I do understand that's the result of having a software that includes so much. I also don't love that there isn't an "undo" button for certain changes. I've also had a few technical delays occur while using SG. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shotgun solving and how is that benefiting you?

Without SG, we would have an issue with storing our assets and episodes in a way that our sister studio can also read on their side. SG allows us to share everything in an organized and efficient way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Shotgun?

stores a bunch of video clips and things, helps track stuff. great for coordinators who have to track everything that's going on in the project.

gives some insight to other users of it (coworkers). easy to see list of tasks for me to work on for the week and for the day. I see notes from previous days work and know what things i need to address to make sure things are going smooth for the rest of the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shotgun?

I don't fully understand it beyond uploading things I have to send in for review. needs more youtube videos. I don't know how to make a playlist, or maybe add something that was R&D related to one of the tasks so that it's visible to admin what i was working on for the day. Also it's a bit slow at times to load clips. My bar for video is youtube, so if a website is slower than that, then it's lost marks. also it's terrible to search for on google. since a lot more things shotgun show up instead of autodesk's shotgun. I think if there was some way for it to cache the pages or something on chrome it would be good, just loading the pages is kinda slow. maybe if it lazyloaded a buncha the webpage, and then the clips are loaded in later, or by scrollby or something it would at least feel more responsive?

Recommendations to others considering Shotgun:

I think it's good, I wish i knew more about the features of shotgun desktop, maybe it has more to offer that we're under utilizing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shotgun solving and how is that benefiting you?

again, with the proper people operating it, it's good to use for reviewing shots for projects. the problems it solves is tracking video production for admin, and kind of being able to look at the project from a 30k foot view so to speak. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
