The media browser for Nuke
smartElements is a media browser for your every days work, regardless of whether you work alone or in a small or large team. Create a pool of commonly used media and simply access elements that you use often in one place. Bringing media into smartElements is as easy as dragging a folder or a file into smartElements. To use media in your comp simply drag it from smartElements into your DAG. You can categorize your media by stacks and lists. You can favorite your most often media and search media by many keywords.
You can categorize media inside lists that are contained inside stacks. This gives you a lot of flexibility in organizing your media. You can use a stack per show, user, or any other way you like.
Renderings can automatically be registered to smartElements in order to build up your projects and having a quick overview about your current progress.
If you have some technical knowledge, you can even further customize smartElements and create your custom pre- and post processors that let you perform additional tasks when it comes to ingesting your media into smartElements.

Do I get updates?
Yes. If you buy a license you will always and forever get any update - no matter how small or big the update is. That's what we call a fair deal.
Do cragl tools work on machines that are not connected to the web as well?
Yes. Any tool can be installed and used fully featured with and without inernect connection. If your machine is connected to the web, then installing any cragl product is dead simple and literally takes you just 3 clicks. But installing any cragl product when your machine is not connected to the web is also simple. For more information about offline installation and usage please refer to the faq site on our website: www.cragl.com/faq
Which kinds of licenses do you offer?
We offer node locked licenses and site licenses.
Node locked licenses are locked to the machine that you install it to. Licenses can also be transfered to another machine.
Site licenses can be used on an infinite amount of machines and are not locked to the machine. The machines don't need to be connected to the web (this also applies to our node locked licenses!) You can also use site licenses on athera and any other dockerized environment.
On how many machines can I use my purchased license?
That depends on the type of your license. If you buy one node locked license you can use it on one machine for commercial use plus on a personal computer/laptop for personal use. If you buy more than one node locked license then you can use all of your purchased licenses on your machines for commercial use. If you buy a site license, then you can use this license on any machine on as many machines as you need. The license will then not be node locked and can be used on any machine - even in Foundry's athera and other dockerized environments.
