NEW Shooting Schedule CSV Report

You can now export your Shooting Schedule Report in CSV format. This creates a spreadsheet that contains ALL the data from the breakdown sheets in your Shooting Schedule.

Structurally, the spreadsheet contains one row per scene and one column per Breakdown Sheet data-field (eg. Scene#, Int/Ext, Cast, Background, Props, etc). Many customers have requested this file format to dramatically speed up their Call Sheet creation workflow. You can use this to quickly copy/paste the relevant data from your breakdown sheets into your CS or any other document you need to get out.

The CSV looks like this:

UX Improvements

• One-liner report cast list columns. Cast list now wraps to three columns before triggering a page-break. Should fit all cast on first page for most users.

• Improved text-banner experience. We put all editable text-banner data-fields on one section in the Left-Panel when modifying the text-banner. This increases speed so that you can just {tab} through all the fields and input Notes, Est. Time, etc. faster.

• Added tooltips. Added hints that reveal upon hover to Start-of-day banner icon, and text-banner icon with hotkeys.

• Faster strip-data-updating. We sped up the updating time for strips for displaying Background Quantities and newly created built-in elements (eg. like new Sets, or Script Days). Previously, the strip wouldn’t update until after you dragged the strip. Now it re-renders in real-time as the data changes.

• Prevent users from accidentally creating duplicate elements. We found a bug where the “+Create” element action was visible to users when they had typed in an exact match to an existing element. This was creating unintentional duplicate elements in the file.

• “Sort strips’’ hotkey is now {Cmd + Shift + O}. We changed this hotkey from Cmd + O because in Firefox this would trigger a browser action.

Bug fixes

• Fixed “duplicate stripboard” bug that was causing Day 0 daybreaks. For users who duplicated a board between Friday, June 7 - Saturday, June 8, there was a temporary bug in the system that would cause all daybreaks to display as “Day 0” both in the stripboard and the one-liner report. We have since fixed this bug, but if you are still experiencing this, you need to — delete the board that produces Day 0 daybreaks —. Email us if you still have this issue and we can assist with your file.

• Fixed daybreak page-counts totaling incorrectly. For all users who are noticing page-counts not adding up correctly (eg. It’s incorrectly summing what’s UNDERNEATH the end of day break, instead of above it) — follow these steps:
  
  1. Go to your Layout Manager
  2. Go to the Layout you have on your board
  3. Go to “Daybreaks”
  4. In the lower portion of your screen you’ll notice a dropdown menu in the upper-right corner called “Daybreak type”. If this field is empty, click it and set the daybreak = “End of Day”. This will correct everything.

• Fixed report-filtering by Date Range. Filtering reports by date-range / shoot-day range was temporarily disconnected. We have fixed it.

• Fixed report-filtering by Element. Same issue as above. Filtering by specific cast, or set, etc was temporarily broken. We fixed it.

• Hotkeys in stripboard sometimes not working. Found a bug where the text-banner was focused in a manner that disabled hotkeys. Therefore, using hotkeys while you had a text-banner selected would either do nothing or cause strange pasting behavior. Fixed this, it shouldn’t be happening anymore.

• Text-wrapping in strips now works again. Found a bug in some files where text-wrapping was not being respected. This should be fixed.
