On-screen 1.0
Now Available for Trailer Houses
by J.T. Alex, Chief Executive Officer, Thought Development

 

After The Ant Farm's successful implementation, the new product, ON-Screen 1.0 is now made available to trailer houses. Thought Development took on the challenge of transforming ON-AIR Pro into a suitable tool for the production of trailers and television spots.  The workflow system contains many of the same features as its predecessor ON-AIR Pro, except it lends itself to tracking multiple versions of a spot prior to being approved by the client.

On-Screen is a custom designed database that focuses on the "whole picture" of spot production and tracking. Everything from the first creative script to the finishing is planned out and tracked in On-Screen. With On-Screen you will have all the necessary tools at your disposal to follow a spot through the production process, allowing you to know critical information at any time without relying on e-mail or phone calls. Our seamlessly integrated modules allow information to be shared dynamically and efficiently between departments. On-Screen comes with a complete Projects module that keeps a record of all of your Jobs, Spots, and versions. Want to know if you billed for the graphics on version 3? This kind of information and more is easy to find in On-Screen. Also standard is a full featured Library module. Tape tracking, labels, shipping receipts, and electronic tape logs are a few of the things you will be able to take advantage of in the Library. With the Scheduling Module you will be able to track how much time your editors spend on any project, spot, or version; a must for accurate billing. A Graphics module is also standard which includes a graphic work order system complete with approvals and image thumbnails for a quick way to view graphics for any job. On-Screen also comes with a Contacts Module so you will never have to rifle through your desk for that important number ever again. On-Screen also has the following optional plug-in modules for additional functionality: ON-Spot, ON-Slate, ON-Script, ON-Labels, and ON-Dubs. The ON-Cue plug-in is integrated into the Projects module, under its own Music tab.
