Wrangler VFX
VFX Data Management Platform
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
iPad
The professional on-set VFX data tool for iPad. Offline-first - slate, HDRI, reference, and laser capture, synced across the team and to ShotGrid when you're ready.
The professional data management tool built for VFX teams. Capture, organize, and sync slate data across your entire production — on iPad, on set, and on the web. Purpose-built for the demands of VFX Professionals, from indie shoots to blockbuster franchises.
Wrangler is offline-first. You control when data moves, who sees what, and how multiple devices merge into one source of truth at wrap.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED ON SET
• Custom Workspaces — Choose from four preset layouts in the slate-page menu bar, each fully customizable. Hide entire sections or specific fields so you can isolate exactly what you need without scrolling. Rename layouts to match how you work.
• Intuitive Slate Capture — Log slate data with an interface designed for the pace of production. A non-intrusive bottom panel with field-specific keypads, live camera widgets, and adjustable UI scale keep your eyes on the work, not the keyboard. One-tap slate creation with smart defaults and auto-incremented scene/shot/take. Slate widgets on lock and home screens. Colour-coded camera field outlines so you always know which camera you're editing.
• Witness Cam & Stills Tracking — Track every camera on set. Log HDRI captures with auto-calculated filenames (3/4 angles, 3/5/7/9 brackets), reference photo sets with DSLR brand presets, and witness cam clips that auto-increment across takes — all tied to your slates.
• Gear Library & Presets — Cameras, lenses, grips, heads, and filters with serial, camera-letter, and lens-grid tracking. App-wide gear presets carry from project to project. Quick-build tools add multiple cameras and lenses in seconds. CSV import and export for large productions.
• Laser-Measure Integration — Connect Bluetooth laser distance meters directly to Wrangler (Leica and Bosch). Capture precise measurements and auto-populate lens height, camera distance, and set dimensions. Colour-coded measurement fields for quick visual reference.
• VFX Timing & Reports — Track VFX timing in-app, generate Daily Time Reports with one tap, and create comprehensive VFX reports for supervisors — all without leaving Wrangler. Team roster with roles and configurable email distribution.
• Slate & Reference Browser — Navigate large projects with ease. Visual thumbnail browsing, a unified references page that organizes every reference image by slate, and powerful filters by shoot day, episode, scene, set, or date.
INTEGRATIONS & MIGRATION
• ShotGrid — Seamlessly connect with Autodesk ShotGrid. Direct API connection, selectively push shots and takes, and required fields are auto-created in your entity.
• Migrate From Anywhere — Moving from FileMaker, Setellite, or a homegrown spreadsheet system? Wrangler imports your existing projects in minutes. Auto-migration from VES-format CSVs, plus a field-mapping wizard for non-VES sources. Slate numbering, take history, and reference photos are preserved.
TEAMS & CLOUD
• Manually triggered sync — never risk losing data mid-take.
• Multiple wranglers sync to one project, with merge-time conflict resolution and granular data selection.
• Global cloud regions (US, EU, Asia-Pacific) for data residency.
• Multi-team organization controls — admin dashboard, per-project access, and delegation.
