A closer look at ftrack Studio’s integration with Perforce Helix Core
Perforce Helix Core is used by technical teams all around the world to store code and digital assets in one central repository, or, as Perforce calls it, a “single source of truth”. This centralized and automated approach means less time wasted on manual workflows and more time spent on coding and creating. That’s something we can get behind here at ftrack.
We’ve been working since the start of the year to tightly integrate ftrack Studio with Perforce Helix Core and leverage the versioning systems of both to create a fully integrated workflow. We’re pleased to say that the ftrack Studio integration with Perforce Helix Core is now complete, available, and ready for use in your next project.
The ftrack Studio integration with Perforce Helix Core avails itself of the power and benefit of both tools. Working together, they forge a simple path through demanding tasks like video game development or complex automotive manfacturing.

Why we created this integration
The world of creativity has grown more complex than ever before, whether that’s creating triple-A videogames, developing software, or working in engineering. There are more assets and more pieces to consider in any project. And this trend necessitates a more carefully managed approach to development.
We’ve had more customers come to us looking for solutions that help to make these processes simpler, while connecting with the tools they already use for version control, such as Perforce’s Helix Core.
