- **[Production Package](https://aimpreviz.com/glossary/production-package)** — The one-click export of an entire production — scene index, cast and continuity sheet with drift pass-rates, breakdowns, shot list, boards, sequence, schedule — as a crew-ready PDF or shareable link.
- **[Universal Lock™](https://aimpreviz.com/glossary/universal-lock)** — The turnaround analysis that creates a lock from a single reference image and propagates that identity across all six studios.
