You can export your VFX Breakdown directly from the VFX tab in three formats: XLSX, JSON, or directly to Autodesk Flow Production Tracking (formerly ShotGrid).
Before you begin
Make sure your VFX Breakdown is already generated. If no analysis exists, run it first — click VFX AI Dude in the top-right corner of the VFX tab and ask AI Dude to analyze the script.
Procedure
To export the VFX Breakdown
In the top navigation bar, click VFX.
In the top-right corner, click Export.
In the dropdown menu, select one of the following:
XLSX (Full Report) — downloads a full Excel file with all analyzed scenes, sequence IDs, descriptions, complexity categories, shot estimates, and cost data. Opens in Excel or Google Sheets.
JSON — downloads a structured JSON file with the full breakdown data. Useful for integrating VFX data into custom pipelines or tools.
ShotGrid — connects to Autodesk Flow Production Tracking and exports the breakdown directly into your VFX production pipeline. See Export VFX Breakdown to Flow Production Tracking for setup instructions.
Plans
Exporting the VFX Breakdown requires a Director's Cut plan.
