Pricing
Post is a line item on a show, not a company subscription somebody has to defend over a hiatus. So the unit is a season, and the number tracks the thing that drives the value: how many episodes you make.
Figures are quoted on a call
Rather than print a number here that turns out to be wrong for your show, we will give you one against your actual episode count and delivery list. What drives it is below, in full.
Up to 40 episodes
A weekly unscripted series — competition, reality, magazine.
40 to 200 episodes
A daily strip show. Game, talk, court.
Several shows, any cadence
A production company running more than one show on one post team.
Add-ons
Checks the version named on every handoff against the cuts that really exist, and marks it verified, superseded or not found.
Not an Avid feature. Avid MediaCentral, a PilotWare export, a nightly export or a pasted list all work — so this is not gated on owning an enterprise system.
Quoted on a call
What moves the number
The main one. It is what decides whether a spreadsheet was ever going to cope, and it tracks the value directly.
A second show is settings rather than a new rollout, so it costs less than the first.
Running the watcher inside your facility is what turns estimated dates into confirmed ones. It is included, but it takes setup time.
Only handoff verification today, and only if you already run Production Management.
In writing
Bring your episode count and your delivery list. Twenty minutes, and a number you can take to a line producer.
Walkthroughs are with Kevin Kelsey — 15 years an assistant editor, Children's & Family Emmy-nominated, and the person who built this. More about him.
