CutLedger runs the daily production of an animated series — shot tracking, the actual files, review, and artist pay in one place. Built by Librarie, inside the daily production of our animated series, shaped every week by the animators who use it.

Drop a board reel: CutLedger cuts it into scenes, reads the burned-in scene numbers, and builds the whole episode's tracker — with a playable clip on every row.
It reads the line art and groups scenes that share a background, even re-lit or re-toned. Approve the master once — every linked scene and comp folder follows.
Not links to a drive — the actual PSDs, takes, and exports, versioned with full history, old versions one click away forever. Uploads resume if your connection drops.
Pause the clip, draw on it, save — the note lands on the scene with the frame number. @mention an artist and it sits on their task list until they check it off.
Rate cards by department and tier, per-cut or per-frame, payables per artist. Artists see their own pay and nothing else — enforced by the database, not the UI.
Distributed team, first production, mixed experience? Same here. The tool teaches the pipeline — artists never touch a folder tree or guess a filename.
"This is ridiculously better than Google Drive."
"I cannot hype this program up enough… very intuitive."
"The Trello feel — professional but not boring."
CutLedger opens publicly soon. Until then we're bringing in a small number of indie studios as founding partners — free through your first production, onboarded personally, with a locked founding rate after. If you're running a show on spreadsheets and a drive, write to us.
