## The render and review cycle

High-volume commercial VFX work still leaks hours. Render queues and review rounds stack on every project. A note lands. A re-render waits. The next round starts from a version that is already half a day behind. Concurrent brand work multiplies the cycle until the calendar is the bottleneck, not the craft.

## How Pushing Frames_ fits

Pushing Frames_ sits inside DaVinci. It captures grade notes and version state so review rounds stop waiting on a half-day re-render loop.
