Display shots Due Date in a Gantt Diagram

Flow Production Tracking

Is there a way to display shots due date in a Gantt Diagram so I can see easily when the compositing task must end, in a more visual way.

Thanks for your help !

Use the plan page and filter for only your compositing tasks?

Thanks but this is not what I am looking for. I would like to see my compositing tasks in a Gantt Diagram AND the due dates of the corresponding shots. So I can manage how much time there is between the due date of the task compositing and the final due date of the shot, all in one graph. Right know I have to read the date and check the planning which is not really convenient.

Thanks.

But how do you track the due date of your shots?
Is that a custom field on Shot level?

Yes in the shot page I see the shot due date for each shot, but I’d like to see that in a Diagram, so it’s more readable. To put context, I have due dates on my shots, and I’m working on the compositing schedule and I want to see the shots due date in the compositing schedule so I can see where the comp finish his shots compared to the due date.

Have a look at this new feature:

Thanks Ricardo, but this is not covering what I’m looking for. I have a new example, my shots due date are all offset by a week and I want to move them a week earlier, but without entering the date of 60 shots one by one. It would be very much easier in a graph and just drag the dates the same as we do in the task page.

Thanks

Again, I dont really know how you track these dates.
It seems like you have made custom fields on Shots for the “due date”?

You can certainly use the new feature to see your due dates from the shot level by going to:

Gant Display --> Task Date Fields --> Linked Fields (scroll down) --> Link --> Shot --> <your_custom_due_date_field>

Another way to do this would be to create a Task for each shot called Due Date and set them as milestones (tick the milestone tickbox).

That is how many studios track these.
This also works to track Client milestones like due dates, WIP dates, DI dates etc.

Gant Display --> Task Date Fields --> Linked Fields (scroll down) --> Link --> Shot --> <your_custom_due_date_field>

Thanks a lot for your help.
