The point is that IMM just expands SharePoint portal capabilities towards video assets management. I don't think it's made specifically for VFX management it's rather general media production management tool. By now I would compare it to FCS but with more powerful development and integration capabilities. I haven’t used it I’ve only read their releases and blog posts.

I read through their evaluators guide, and it seems that they have: media management including metadata tagging, task tracking (through outlook/exchange), a video review/annotation module, workflow, and have built some links to video transcoding partners. Seems like a direct competitor to Final Cut Server and possibly AlienBrain. They don't seem to offer any VFX functionality like shot breakdowns, budgeting, film/telecine management, etc. Have you used this product? Is this a fair summary?

It seems to be primarily tracking files and assets in a LAN environment, maybe trying to be closer to something like AlienBrain than VFX ShowRunner. Hard to tell from a few screenshots. They do have a free trial so it is something you could check out. It appears to be Windows-only vs. being a web application. The thing I'm building assumes a very distributed team, is a web application, and tries to build communication first instead of a lot of really complex shot/asset information.

It is at http://www.shotrunner.com. I'd be interested in getting your feedback and can set you up with an account. Check out the forums on that site also. P.S. ShowRunner is a filemaker solution also for tracking VFX. Similar name, different approach. Hey Nick,
