HMG Tools
Tools for editors
& motion designers
From Hoodworks Media Group. Built by a producer-editor with 10+ years delivering social and broadcast work: the checks and guides I kept rebuilding on every job.
Pick your problem
Each tool does one job properly, runs on your own machine, and never uploads your timeline or your media.
Safe Zone Kit
Sourced, dated safe zones as PNG and SVG overlays, a DaVinci Resolve title and Premiere templates. Every number traces to the platform it came from.
HMG Roundtrip
Checks a Premiere to Resolve roundtrip both ways: what won't survive the trip to color, and what didn't come back right. Markers for Resolve and Premiere, a hand-off PDF, a CSV.
Cue Sheet
Turns a timeline export into a music cue sheet: finds the music, reads composer and publisher credits from the files, and flags what a network or PRO would reject.
Studiosheets
A production hub organized by phase: call sheets, budgets with live actuals, receipts and the strip board. Runs on one computer or hosted for your team.
No upload. No subscription.
Private by design
Everything runs on your computer. Your timelines and media are never uploaded, so NDA and unreleased work never leaves the room.
One license, every screen
The same app runs as a Mac app, in the browser, and from your iPhone or iPad Home Screen. Windows is next.
Sourced, not guessed
Every rule and every number traces to documentation or a working guide. Where sources disagree, the tool says so.
Picture Lock Pack
HMG Roundtrip + Cue Sheet, with the Safe Zone Kit included: everything between picture lock and delivery.
Open your apps
One license key opens the Mac app, the web version and iPhone/iPad, on up to 5 devices. Enter it once on each device; it works offline after that.
