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.
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.
Red Flags
Set reminders that dynamically appear on the Stripboard when your Elements have conflicts. This will help to avoid potential scheduling disasters.
Add Images
Attach images, such as Storyboards, location photos, or actor headshots, to your Breakdown Sheets. You can attach as many images as needed to each sheet.
Print Scaling
