The Foundry's Hiero is a desktop application for collaborative VFX workflow - a scriptable timeline tool that conforms edit decision lists and parcels out VFX shots to artists, allows progress to be viewed in context, and liberates your finishing systems and artists for more creative tasks.

Hiero has been built to work ‘out of the box’ with NUKE, and can also be custom-scripted to work with other applications in your facility.

Because Hiero is open and scriptable via the Python programming language, it is an editorial tool that fits naturally into any VFX pipeline.
