Post production is collaborative by nature, but most teams still rely on a patchwork of chat apps, spreadsheets, and email threads to stay aligned. ShowBuild™ brings those conversations and calculations into one focused space built specifically for editorial teams.
The app introduces shared running times that update for everyone in real time, notes structured around the way producers and editors actually exchange feedback, and messaging that keeps essential show data pinned to every chat for quick reference. Notes and messaging are end-to-end encrypted, so conversations and project details remain private between collaborators.
ShowBuild isn’t trying to replace the tools you cut with. It’s designed to support the workflow around the cut — providing clarity, context, and organization for modern editorial work.
Shared Running Times with Automated TRTs
Running Times keeps your episode’s timing visible to the whole team. It lets you track the duration of acts, scenes, or custom segments, instantly share accurate totals, and update times as edits evolve. Changes sync in real time, so producers, editors, and coordinators always see the same current picture—no side spreadsheets, no guessing.
Notes
Notes gives your team a shared place to capture ideas, fixes, and decisions right where the work is happening. Notes are organized by episode and update instantly for everyone, so feedback stays current as the cut evolves. Paired with the Status Board, key notes and progress signals surface at a glance, making it easy to see what’s been addressed, what’s outstanding, and where attention is needed—without digging through messages or email threads.
Timecode Drift Calculator
In long-form production, even tiny timing differences add up. The Timecode Drift Calculator helps you instantly measure and correct sync issues caused by mismatched frame rates, sample rates, or clock drift between cameras, recorders, and delivery specs.
Enter your source and target settings, and ShowBuild calculates the exact drift over time — so you can see how far picture and sound will slip across an episode, reel, or feature. No spreadsheets. No guesswork. Just precise math built for real-world post workflows.
It’s a practical tool for editors, assistant editors, and post supervisors who want to catch problems early and deliver with confidence.
