2. Enhancements in shooting scheduling and Auto Day Breaks

Your shooting scheduling just became even more intuitive. The new update introduces critically enhanced shooting scheduling and Auto Day Breaks. Now, all shooting dates are assigned automatically, giving you a seamless experience. Day offs are not included in DOOD reports.

Moreover, manually moving several scene strips simultaneously provides more flexibility in aligning your shooting schedule with your vision. Whether you use a Mac or Windows, you can easily select and move scenes by holding down the Command or Ctrl key while selecting. Learn how to reorder scene strips in bulk here.

3. Sort your shooting schedule by a specific production unit
