- Runs entirely locally and does not require a GPU.
- Designed to be lightweight and low-overhead.
- Tested with projects up to 600 shots and 21,000 takes.
- Migration script for updating version 1.x projects to vrs 1.2.0.
- Integration with ComfyUI for Batch processing workflows using AIMMS v1.2.0 shot data *(see "Related software" below)*.

IF MIGRATING FROM v1.x AIMMS TO V1.2.0
-
If you are upgrading from an older version run it seperately in its own folder and activate the license using your original .lic file that you can find in the licensing folder of the old version. This will copy the .lic to the new license folder and you can then remove the older version folder after that (confirm it is licensed and working first. For lost licenses contact support with details and email used at time of purchase).
-
If migrating previous v1.x projects to v1.2.0 . Backup your old AIMMS project folder first. Then run the python migration scriptfound in the root folder after extracting:
migrate_shots_database_v1.2.0.py
Example use on Windows:
python migrate_shots_database_v1.2.0.py "M:\AIMMS_Projects\project_DevilInTheWind"
or if using Linux:
python3 migrate_shots_database_v1.2.0.py "/home/mdkb/Documents/AIMMS Projects/project_The_Highwayman"
NOTE: Migration should happen in seconds even for large projects. During migration changes will be made to the shots.db database in your project folder adding new fields now implemented in AIMMS v1.2.0. See version.txt in the extracted root folder for information on what is new in v1.2.0
AIMMS version 1.2.0 is now available for download, includes a 30-day trial option and a migration script for porting vrs 1.x projects to vrs 1.2.0. Licenses are available via Patreon
TERMS OF SERVICE
AIMMS is a one-time purchase desktop application and is provided as-is. It is not a subscription service and does not include guaranteed support, live assistance, or response-time commitments.
Bug reports and feature suggestions can be submitted via GitHub Issues, which are reviewed and addressed at the developer’s discretion when time permits.
- A ComfyUI_Batch_from_CSV custom node is in development on github. It is MIT licensed and integrates the exported CSV from AIMMS v1.2.0 into ComfyUI to allow for batch processing workflows of almost any type using the shot fields you define inside AIMMS vrs 1.2.0. In initial tests this cut down time to complete a 5-minute music video by 2/3rds. Check the YT channel playlist for AIMMS for tutorials on use.
