Custom Day Breaks & Banners
Clearly communicate meal breaks, company wrap times, and critical logistical notes right on the schedule board so the entire crew stays perfectly aligned.
Secure Crew Distribution
Export your locked schedules as industry-standard PDFs or share them securely with your department heads directly through the platform.
Interactive Drag-and-Drop Stripboard
Build your shooting schedule visually with a dynamic, digital stripboard that perfectly mimics the traditional production workflow while offering modern efficiency. As you pull scenes from your script breakdown, CinePlatform automatically generates customisable strips for each scene, allowing you to drag, drop, and rearrange your days with ease. You can easily insert day breaks, company moves, and custom banners to keep the entire crew informed of logistical shifts.
Because the stripboard is fully synced with your script data, page eighths and estimated shooting times are calculated automatically. This ensures you never accidentally overload a shooting day and helps your 1st AD maintain a highly realistic pace on set.
Automated Day Out of Days (DOOD) Reports
Managing actor schedules and crew availability is one of the most complex parts of pre-production, but CinePlatform makes it effortless by automatically generating your Day Out of Days (DOOD) reports.
The moment you arrange your stripboard, the software calculates exactly when each cast member, crew, vehicle, or specialised prop is needed. It intuitively maps out Start, Work, Hold, and Finish (SWF) days, giving you a perfectly accurate grid of your production's logistical requirements.
This real-time synchronisation drastically reduces costly scheduling errors. By easily identifying unnecessary holding days or optimising drop-and-pickup schedules, you can protect your production budget before cameras even roll.
Dynamic Scenario Planning and Version Control
Production plans change rapidly, and CinePlatform allows you to adapt instantly by creating and saving multiple schedule scenarios without ever losing your original plan. Whether you are building a backup schedule to accommodate an actor's limited availability or trying to map out the most budget-friendly way to tackle a difficult location, you can duplicate your stripboard and test different logistical approaches safely.
Once your team decides on the best path forward, you can confidently lock the final schedule while keeping previous versions archived for reference. This ensures that a sudden change in cast availability or location loss never forces your 1st AD to start the scheduling process from scratch.
Advanced Scene Filtering and Smart Sorting
Quickly organise your massive list of unscheduled scenes using CinePlatform’s powerful filtering tools to build your shoot days faster. Instead of hunting through your breakdown data manually, you can instantly group your strips by location, interior versus exterior, day versus night, or the required presence of specific cast members and background actors.
By grouping these similar scenes together before dragging them onto the active stripboard, you dramatically reduce unnecessary company moves and set turnaround times. This smart-sorting approach helps your team maximise actual time rolling cameras while minimising costly setup delays.
