Video Village

Takes

Review recorded takes shot by shot, circle your selects, add notes, and upload the keepers to the cloud.

Timelines

Assemble each scene into an editing timeline — create a cut per scene, arrange its shots, drop in generated clips and reference takes, and keep revisions side by side.

Editing

Assemble your uploaded takes into per-scene bins, play the rough cut, version it, and export to Premiere or Final Cut.

Callsheets

Assemble a daily call sheet for each shoot day and email it as a PDF to your cast and crew.

The dispatch console: a live crew map and crew comms sit above the errands board. Track runners on the map, message your departments, and hand out address-based tasks — click an errand to jump the map to its runner.
