Locked files. Versioned references. Reviewed in rounds.
Heavy reference chains, daily approvals, and exports that fail loudly when something goes wrong. Layerline gives every shot, every asset, every approval one home — with the lock and version controls VFX work demands, and a shot/sequence workflow native to the medium.
The pain.
Working files get clobbered
Two artists open the same scene file at once, one wins, work disappears. Without locks, the only safe workflow is constant chat-app pings.
Approval cycles eat the week
Dailies, lookdev rounds, supervisor sign-offs. None of it lives in the asset record — it lives in email, chat, and someone's notes app.
Versions are unrecoverable
A producer asks for the v17 from last week. It's been overwritten three times since.
Three apps to ship this work.
Every app on Layerline is included in the free tier. These are the ones teams in this space lean on first.
Storage
Exclusive locks with audit history. Full version restore. Share links with expiry — for vendor reviews without dumping files into yet another tool.
App · ReviewsReviews
Multi-round workflow with per-file decisions. Severity-tagged comments and an annotation layer for drawing right on the frame.
App · QualityQuality Checker
Mesh validation across eight categories with 0–100 scoring before a shot goes to render. Catch bad UVs, broken normals and junk geometry early.
The rest of what's included.
Every Layerline org gets all of this — across every tier, every project.
Shots organise into sequences. Sequences carry pipeline templates with task dependencies — so every shot starts with the standard work breakdown.
Each shot gets a File Box that groups all its Layerline Storage files — plates, working scenes, exports, references. Versioned and lockable.
Spin up a sequence of shots in one call. Create, update or archive up to 200 tasks at once. Active timer with a billable flag for client work.
Group tasks by delivery milestone — vendor reviews, supervisor approvals, final lock. Fetch a milestone with all its tasks to see what's left.
Org and per-project stats — tasks by status, members, asset counts. Time-tracking timesheet across the team.
Three AI helpers for reviews — change summary between rounds, comment-pile summary, approval-readiness estimate.
