Shift is a visual authoring system. It definitely helps to know how to use Python, but it’s designed for people to build graphs from catalogues of nodes and doesn’t require writing code to be valuable.
Yes, you can purchase batch licenses for this. Contact [email protected] for more information.
It depends. We’d be happy to talk it through with you, so email [email protected] and we’ll get into it.
Yes, Shift graphs and nodes are completely reusable. A lot depends on how your environments are setup, so if you’d like to discuss this further, please email [email protected]
Instead of writing scripts where logic is scattered across multiple files, you build workflows as node graphs where you can see dependencies, execution flow, and data connections. This makes workflows easier to understand, modify, and maintain.
You can download Shift now and get started with the free 30 day trial license. If you’d like a formal evaluation, contact [email protected] and we’ll discuss how best to proceed.

Interactive licenses are for people to use on their workstations. Batch licenses are for running ‘headless’ on compute/render farms. You cannot run a batch license interactively, and you cannot run an interactive license in batch mode.
