It is built for line producers, production managers, assistant directors, and small production companies working on films, shorts, music videos, commercials, branded content, web series, or TV.

Scheduling includes movable scene strips, labor cost calculations, crew and location assignments, and day-out-of-days reports. Call sheets can include crew, cast, scenes, weather, sunrise and sunset, and nearby hospital information. Organizations can share projects and assign Owner, Editor, or Viewer access at page level. The Pro plan supports Excel, CSV, and Movie Magic Budget import and export; budgets can also be exported as PDFs. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web, and its progressive web app works on iPhone, iPad, Android, and desktop. The free plan has limits; Pro costs $12/mo or $99/year.
