The Superman Returns Article in the July Issue of CineFex mentions how cineSync was used on Superman Returns. Here is an excerpt:

All vendors used Rising Sun Research's cineSync. "We had QuickTimes of effects shots, cut sequences or jpegs in folders on our computers at Red Sun," Joyce Cox explained. "The vendors had the same material in folders on their side; so we could bring shots up in sync, watch playback with sound, and Mark could stop the image, draw on it, and say, "move this to the left, make this more gray..." That enabled us to manage more than 500 shots out of the country"

FxGuide is also running an article on how cineSync was used on Superman Returns, X-men 3 also gets a mention. Here is an excerpt:

Rising Sun Research developed cineSync and cineSpace. The two applications are fast becoming globally preferred options for monitor calibration and professional video conferencing collaboration, further enhancing Rising Sun's reputation. Both were used on Superman Returns, but many other companies are also using them. John Bruno, Visual effects Supervisor for X-men 3 recently went so far as to say that X-men 3 was only possible due to cineSync, given he had 10 companies contributing shots. cineSync was used by all of the effects companies on Superman Returns many of whom praised its ease of use when we spoke to them about it.
