Cut with the whole production behind you.
The browser timeline exists to assemble and replace generated shots, then hand off cleanly. It is not trying to replace a finishing suite — it is trying to make sure the cut, the shot specs and the regeneration loop stay connected.
What you get
The capabilities that matter most to this role.
Video and audio tracks, trims, ripple edits, markers, speed changes and basic transitions.
Swap a take for a better one without rebuilding the cut. The timeline references shots, not orphaned files.
Send a shot back for another pass with its spec intact, then drop the new take straight into the same slot.
Lightweight proxies for editing while originals and their generation metadata stay untouched.
OpenTimelineIO internally, with FCPXML and EDL export when the cut moves to a finishing suite.
Missing coverage and pacing issues flagged against the scene's shot list rather than discovered late.
Your workflow
Where you sit in the production graph, start to finish.
- 1Pull the selects
Approved takes arrive in the bin with their scores and provenance.
- 2Assemble
Build the rough cut on the timeline with proxies.
- 3Spot the gaps
Missing coverage flagged against the scene's planned shot list.
- 4Request regeneration
Send a shot back with notes; its spec and references travel with it.
- 5Replace and refine
Drop the improved take into the same slot without rebuilding.
- 6Export
Interchange to a professional NLE, or render a delivery master directly.
What this solves
The failure modes generative production runs into, and how the platform answers them.
| The problem | How VFX.plus handles it |
|---|---|
| Re-cutting after every regeneration | Timeline references shots, so a replacement take slots straight in. |
| Losing track of versions | Replace creates a new version and preserves the old link for rollback. |
| Handoff to finishing is lossy | OTIO internally, with FCPXML and EDL export. |
| Discovering gaps late | Coverage is checked against the planned shot list as you cut. |
