You can export your VFX Breakdown directly from the VFX tab in three formats: XLSX, JSON, or directly to Autodesk 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 ShotGrid and exports the breakdown directly into your VFX production pipeline. See Export VFX Breakdown to ShotGrid for setup instructions.
Plans
Exporting the VFX Breakdown requires a Director's Cut plan.
