Shows¶
A show in NIM is a collection of shots. Each job may contain multiple shows to organize the breakdown of shots. The organization of shows is largely dependent on the company needs.
For example:
Shows can be everything from an individual spot, an individual deliverable, or simply a sequence of shots. In commercials a show could be determined as a deliverable where in episodic work it could be an entire episode, or in features a show could denote a sequence. The organization is up to you.
In addition to the list of shots associated with a show, each show can have a linked previs section. The previs allows users to work in scratch pad area. This allow users to work in situations where editorial is not locked, or as a general R&D area to create shots before they are committed to the show.
Tip
The organization of shows influences how job actuals are displayed. In the job actuals, shows display subtotals for all estimated and accrued time and total hard cost. Please take into account how you would like to visualize the job actuals when dividing your structure into shows.
Show Configuration¶
When a show is added to a job, a new menu item is added to the Job Menu with the name of the show including the following sections:
Sequence |
A group of shots created within the show |
Previs |
The previs sequence associated with the show (if one was added before bringing the show online). |
Review |
An area to review dailies that have been flagged for review. |
Tasks |
This section is for scheduling and adding tasks to sequence shots. |
For more information on creating and managing shows, please refer to the Show Configuration section of the documentation.
