“With Kelvin, I'm processing out on set as we go and people in the studio as well as clients have access to all those files in real-time. QC can give feedback and say, hey, we need to make some capture adjustments, and we’re able to do those before moving on.”

Complexity eliminated

Too many cooks in the kitchen can be a problem – but so can too few. The real challenge is including team members only when they're needed, and then giving them everything they need to make informed decisions.

Specialized Teams, Specialized Tools

When you run a high-volume content production studio, you rely on specialized team members for accuracy and efficiency. Give them the specialized tools that let them do their best work.

Capture One Integration for On-Set Teams

Integrated with Capture One and compatible with any capture software you use, Creative Force comes with a specialized, easy-to-use tool – the Kelvin app – for on-set image selection, instructions, and transfer. Digital style guides tell your on-set team exactly what's needed and predefined workflows dictate whether final selection can be made by the photographer, or if multiple options should be transferred for review.

Photoshop Integration for Post-Production

Whether done internally or externally, Creative Force offers a specialized tool – the Hue app – for retouchers, directly embedded as a panel in Photoshop. Formatting requirements, style guide references, and detailed instructions will automatically appear alongside the right images as your post-production team is working on them. And when they're done, your images are automatically moved to the next step in your workflow.

Customer Testimonial

Making Thoughtful Selects

The Line Studios in NYC work with many different eCommerce clients – all with different creative needs. Before implementing Creative Force, The Line Studios found their capture and selection processes to be too prescriptive to encourage the kind of creativity that really makes their clients shine.

Creative Force eliminates all the noise, so you can focus on making thoughtful selects.

But wait, there's more

How does Creative Force work?

To simplify things a bit, Creative Force enables and elevates what we call flow production – a collaborative and continuous way of producing content at scale, where assets are moved individually through the many stages of production, as soon as they're ready.

This is in contrast to traditional batch production, where a single production stage is completed for all assets before they advance to the next step. Flow production eliminates bottlenecks and hold-ups, and Creative Force supercharges that concept with automation, metadata enrichment, integrated review tools, and so much more.

How is Creative Force different?

Let's first differentiate between studio software and studio management software. Creative Force is studio management software that optimizes the processes around specific areas of studio operations, like sample management or post-production management – in some cases by integrating directly with studio software your team uses daily, such as Capture One or Photoshop.

Other studio software solutions do a fine job of solving problems within particular, well-defined areas of operation. But only Creative Force takes a holistic approach to studio operations and provides the tools to effectively increase productivity and visibility across the entire content creation process.
