Finally....I've been waiting for this for a while....

be interesting to see what apps it covers
 
Does this have to do with the project Ian was working on?

hmmmm. I didn't see any mention of adobe in the flow post. I think you read the post below which is for something else.

Spike: I am not referring to any post, I am discussing the product.

I saw this a while back and it looks real cool. But if you go to the website and look at the specs and the frame grabs, it get a feeling it's an Adobe workflow tool. I see PSD icons, AE, Illy, InDesign etc. Either they should change the graphics to show integration with SCRATCH, Nuke, Toxic, Fusion etc OR they should somewhere mention that this is Adobe only.

I am not trying to spread FUD, I own and use GridIron products, but if this is Adobe only it should say somewhere on the mini-site. IMHO.

the blog doesn't say anything about what "Flow" actually is... at least not readily noticeable...

Can someone just spit it out, before I move on and forget about a potentially useful tool, and they lose a potentially valuable customer...
 
it will track almost anything, i think they skew towards adobe since AE is one of their main focuses with Nucleo Pro. its basically a GUI for element and project tracking/versioning etc but incredibly deep and direct. i believe they have been working to have it track most programs not just adobe.
 
Seems to be a system for managing and keeping track of all the files on your computer not just video, sound, image files. Can someone spell it out?

Flow automatically tracks your work allowing you to instantly see the relationships between all your assets in your most complex projects-all without changing the way you work.

Flow uses sophisticated Real-Time Asset Tracking technology to record all Import/Export, Save/Save As, and Copy/Paste actions in a project.

It understands the file formats for virtually all creative professional applications, including those from Apple and Adobe, and maintains the relationships between stills, movies, sound clips, fonts, plug-ins, and color swatches on all local, network, and removable storage devices.

Flow provides an intuitive user interface to display this information and delivers a rich set of features including:

-- Workflow Maps-show the files used in a project and how they are
connected to one another as they move from application to application
including all related assets, fonts, color swatches, plug-ins and even
internal file structure like comps and layers. They are updated in
real-time as you work.

-- Visual Search-searches for internal file details such as layer names,
plug-ins, fonts, or colors, and Flow will instantly highlight how and
where those elements are used in your workflow.

-- Project Time Tracking-automatically records how much time was spent
creating one file, a series of files or an entire project.

-- Project Packages-provide a point in time snapshot of any project and
capture everything that went into its creation, including media files,
fonts, color swatches, applications and plug-ins. Project Packages
include a Workflow Map showing how everything fits together so that
everything needed to hand it off and reconstruct it later will be
there.

-- Visual Versions-automatically tracks versions of files, including
thumbnails and metadata, as a project evolves allowing users to easily
revert to a previous version of a file anywhere in their workflow.

-- Tags and Annotations-add customized tags and annotations to assets or
projects to support your own business processes. View existing file
metadata with support for metadata standards like DICOM, EXIF, IPTC and XMP.

-- Flow SDK-offered to tool vendors to easily create custom extensions to
support their file formats and add new functionality to the Flow
environment.
 
here ya go!!
