Saturation 3.0: Biggest Release for Production Budgeting

Today we're introducing Saturation 3.0. This is the biggest release we have ever made, and the foundation underneath it was built for intelligence. Get early access: https://saturation.io/v3 This is now an open platform, with MCP, a public API, webhooks, Zapier and n8n, so you can point ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini at your workspace, set the scope, and still have every write land in a review queue. If you have ever sent a studio a PDF that disagreed with your own topsheet, or rebuilt a cost report by hand out of two systems, this is the release that closes that gap. Saturation has one calculation logic now runs the sheet, the cost report and every export, so there is only one number. Phases, so a budget holds more than one estimate and one actual, and you can compare bids, track rounds of commitments, or roll episodes into a season. Fringes and markups applied as sets, with every layer of the burden visible instead of buried in a formula. Purchase orders tied to a budget line and connected through approval, invoice and payment. Always actualized, so coding a transaction IS the actualization and the budget updates as money moves. And We also show the benchmark. Saturation 3.0 loads a workspace 1.6x faster than the release it replaces, paints 2.6x sooner, and runs 38 percent faster on a 1,310 row budget across five phases. Same machine, same browser, running order alternated, medians published with the raw data. 17,700 producers manage 2.7 billion dollars of production spend on Saturation. This is the biggest release we have ever made, and it's now open to try out in beta. 00:00 Production finance on 1979 tech 00:29 The new Budget Engine 38% faster 00:56 Phases: estimate, committed, actual, rollup 01:16 Views: department, client and calendar views 01:38 The Library: rate packs and tax incentives 02:08 Universal import from Movie Magic and Excel 02:15 Always actualized: code once, budget updates 02:46 Purchase orders, Flows and Tasks 03:34 Accounting mapping, custom reports, Saturation Pay 04:18 Open platform: public API, Zapier, n8n 04:35 Saturation MCP: ChatGPT and Claude 05:04 Production AI: Agent creates budget from screenplay budget 06:14 Try Saturation 3.0 Beta Get early access: https://saturation.io/v3 👉 Start for free: https://saturation.io/join?ref=organic-youtube&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social 💻 Book a demo: hhttps://saturation.io/demo?ref=organic-youtube&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social 🎉 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saturation.io/ 🎉 Follow on X: https://twitter.com/saturation_io 🎉 Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/saturation 🎉 Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/saturation.io Whether you're a producer, line producer, or production accountant, Saturation.io can transform your budgeting workflow.
