Production Management Software
Run creative productions from planning through delivery with one connected system for projects, sessions, people, resources, tasks, and production operations. Replace disconnected spreadsheets, project tools, production documents, and operational records with one connected production workflow.
Plan, Schedule, and Manage Creative Production in One System
Creative productions bring together different workstreams, scheduled activities, and operational requirements that need to stay aligned. Studio Hero gives teams a connected structure for organizing that work, from the projects being delivered to the Events / Sessions and tasks that move each production forward.
Plan Production Around Projects
Organize each production into individual projects, deliverables, deadlines, and related activity so teams have a clear structure for the work being delivered.
Schedule Production Activity
Connect shoots, recording sessions, bookings, production days, and other Events / Sessions to the projects they support, keeping scheduled activity within the wider production context.
Manage Production Work
Connect tasks, people, resources, and production requirements to the Projects and Events / Sessions they support, so teams can follow the operational work needed to move production forward.
A Production Management Structure Built for Creative Work
Creative productions involve multiple layers of work that need to stay connected. Studio Hero links Projects, Events / Sessions, and Tasks, helping teams organize deliverables, scheduled activities, resources, and the work that moves production forward.
Start With the Production
Bring each show, campaign, series, or client engagement into one organized production record. Keep its projects, activity, resources, and production information connected from the start.
Organize Work Into Projects
Turn each production into manageable deliverables and workstreams. Organize deadlines, resources, clients, and related activity around the work that needs to be delivered.
Connect Events / Sessions
Connect shoots, recording sessions, bookings, production days, and other scheduled activities to the projects they support. Keep production activity tied to the work it belongs to.
Carry Work Forward With Tasks
Turn production requirements into actionable work for your team. Connect day-to-day tasks to the relevant Projects or Events / Sessions so execution stays tied to the production.

Follow a production into its connected projects, Events / Sessions, tasks, resources, and other operational activity when teams need to understand what is happening behind the wider production.
Coordinate Concurrent Production Work
Maintain a consistent production structure as teams move between multiple active productions, helping status, deadlines, and day-to-day activity remain easier to follow.
Organize Every Production's Information in One Place
Keep projects, Events / Sessions, tasks, people, resources, deadlines, technical requirements, and files connected to each production. Give teams one place to find the information they need throughout the production.
Create a Clear Production Structure
Use the Production record to define the wider body of work before teams move into the individual projects and operational activity underneath it.
See What Belongs to Each Production
Bring related projects, scheduled activity, tasks, resources, and production information into the right context so teams can understand how the work fits together.
Move From Production Oversight Into Execution
Start with the wider production, then move into its connected projects, Events / Sessions, and tasks as teams need more detail about planning or day-to-day execution.
Coordinate Events / Sessions Within the Wider Production
Connect shoots, recording sessions, studio bookings, production days, voice sessions, ADR, photography sessions, and other scheduled individual production activities to the projects and work they support.
Organize Production Activity in Context
Use Events / Sessions to represent the shoots, recording sessions, production days, bookings, and other operational activity taking place within the wider production.
Connect Events / Sessions to Projects
Associate each Event / Session with the relevant Project so scheduled and operational activity remains tied to the work it is helping deliver.
Access the Details Behind Each Activity
Move into the Event / Session record when teams need the dates, participants, production information, and other operational details behind a specific piece of work.
Follow Production From Planning Into Activity
Move from the wider Production into Projects and then into the Events / Sessions where day-to-day production work takes place.
Create Work Orders Around Production Events / Sessions
Turn a scheduled production activity into an actionable work order with the people, rooms, equipment, services, and instructions needed to complete it.
Build Work Orders From the Event / Session
Create work orders within the production activity they support so operational requirements remain connected to the relevant Event / Session, Project, and wider Production.
Coordinate Resources and Operators
Use the Event / Session context to connect the rooms, crew, equipment, services, resource usage, and operator assignments involved in carrying out the work.
Keep Production Instructions With the Activity
Maintain the work order alongside the other Event / Session details so teams can reference the operational requirements without rebuilding the same information in separate documents.
Document Technical Setup and Production Requirements
Keep the technical details behind production work connected to the relevant Production, Project, and Event / Session so teams can reference the setup requirements they need before and during execution.
Capture Production Specifications
Record technical information such as video setup, film setup, graphics requirements, audio formats, frame rates, track configuration, picture format, timecodes, Dolby settings, and other supported production details.
Record Equipment and Setup Requirements
Document machine requirements, equipment needs, plug-in details, copies required, layback information, setup instructions, and other technical requirements associated with the work.
Keep Technical Context With Production Activity
Maintain technical setup information alongside the production records it supports so teams do not have to rely on separate setup sheets, emails, or disconnected reference documents.

Studio Hero provides production tracking software for studios, helping teams monitor production status, upcoming deadlines, active projects, overdue tasks, and upcoming Events / Sessions from one connected view.
Review Production Status Across Active Work
See production status alongside client, production type, and other key record details so teams can understand what is active and where work stands.
Monitor Upcoming Production Deadlines

Why Production Teams Need More Than Generic Project Management Software
Generic project management tools can organize projects, tasks, owners, and deadlines. Production workflow software needs to connect a wider operational structure around that work, including Productions, Projects, Events / Sessions, resources, work orders, technical requirements, schedules, media, and financial activity.
