Schedule

What it does

The Schedule is where the shoot takes shape. Scenes from your script become strips you can order into days, group by location or cast, and re-arrange as things change. Because the call sheets read from the schedule, moving a scene updates the day rather than starting an argument.

Strips ordered into days and grouped by location or cast. Move one and the day re-flows — the call sheet reads the board, so nothing downstream is re-typed and nobody argues about which version is current.

Getting started

Bring in your scenes. Scenes arrive from Scripts with their set, int/ext, day/night and pages already filled in.
Order the board. Drag strips into shooting order and insert day breaks where each day ends.
Group sensibly. Cluster by location or by cast availability so you’re not company-moving twice or holding an actor for one line.
Check the load. Watch the page count per day. If a day is heavy, move a strip and the totals update as you go.
Publish to the days. Push the schedule so each shoot day’s call sheet picks up its scenes.

Worth knowing

Stripboard

The board everyone knows, with drag-to-reorder and day breaks.

Auto-schedule

Get a sensible first pass grouped by location and cast, then refine it by hand.

Availability flags

Conflicts surface on the board before they become a problem on the day.

Reports

Generate a one-liner or day-out-of-days whenever you need to circulate the plan.

Tip. Schedule the location moves first and fill scenes around them — company moves cost more day than almost anything else on the board.

Common questions

What does "push to days" actually do?

It writes each day's strips onto that day's call sheet — scene numbers, sets, day/night and page counts. Anything you've already typed onto the sheet by hand stays put.

Can I set a scene aside without deleting it?

Drag it into Unscheduled at the top of the board. It stays with the production, out of the day counts, until you drop it back in.

What if a scene splits across two days?

Split the strip and each half carries its own page count, so both days total correctly.
