Ftrack adds Illustrator integration to tracking & review platform

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN — Ftrack (www.ftrack.com), the creator of the production tracking and media review platform, has launched Adobe Illustrator integration with Ftrack Studio, alongside improved product integrations with Adobe Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Ftrack Studio’s integration with Adobe Illustrator allows users to access their Ftrack project, dive into details, easily share media for review, and publish and import files, all from within a native-looking Ftrack panel within Illustrator. By blending the creativity of Illustrator with the organizational power of Ftrack, this integration makes the management of creative workflows and assets more streamlined.

Ftrack has also improved the logic behind the versioning workflow of its Ftrack Studio integrations with Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere Pro. When users publish a new version of an asset from Adobe Creative Cloud applications, Ftrack now asks if the user would like to publish a new asset or version up an existing asset, rather than automatically creating a copied version of the existing asset. Thanks to this improved process, Ftrack's integration with Adobe applications presents a simpler workflow, costing the user fewer clicks and making it easier to version up, iterate and deliver work.

"We’re deeply committed to improving workflows across ftrack Studio’s integrations with Adobe Creative Cloud,” says Magnus Eklöv, CTO at Ftrack. “Our Illustrator integration is a big step in that direction. Our versioning updates are a smaller improvement, but one with a big impact on our users’ daily workflows. The faster users can version up, the more efficient they are, and the more time they can spend on the art itself. And that’s our core aim with all ftrack functionality.”
