MOVIE MAGIC SCHEDULING

Loading...

** Important Notice for Mac Users Upgrading to OS X Lion **

On July 20, 2011, Apple released Mac OS X Lion (10.7). We have now released an update to MMB and MMS that is compatible with the new Mac OS.

To ensure a smooth transition, please deactivate your Movie Magic license(s) before upgrading to Mac OS X Lion (10.7). Once the new OS is installed, you will need to download the new installer from our website:

Movie Magic Scheduling
Movie Magic Budgeting

After you download and install the new update, you can reactivate your license. Leaving your Movie Magic license active while upgrading to the new OS will cause the Movie Magic license to work improperly and you will not be able to use the software.

This update allows us to move our programs to Java 1.6, making MMS 5 and MMB 7 compatible with OS 10.6 and above.

A video walkthrough of the above steps is available on our BroadcastEP YouTube Channel.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have on our Facebook discussion board or by emailing our Product Support team and we will answer them to the best of our ability.

Movie Magic Scheduling is a software solution that thinks the way schedulers think, featuring powerful new tools that provide increased flexibility and versatility in the way schedules can be created and viewed.

Movie Magic Scheduling Box Your production schedule is the essential tool that takes your project from script to actionable plan. Specifically designed for the complexities of production, schedules were originally completed through a trial-and-error process involving repeated manipulation of paper and plastic strips along a board. But then came Movie Magic.

The most widely used production scheduling application, Movie Magic Scheduling 5 offers a range of scheduling tools and flexibility not found elsewhere. Workflows are designed to incorporate the time-tested concepts of the stripboard while offering a variety of scenarios to consider: schedules reflecting different shoot lengths, re-ordered scenes, comparisons in location, and more are just a click away.

Based on continuous feedback from you, the user, Movie Magic Scheduling 5 saves time, increases efficiency, and prepares schedules that allow your team to make the best production decisions possible.
