cinemasetfree.comManaging Shoot Days
TL;DR — Add empty days, edit dates and call times inline, delete days to send strips back to the pool, and let auto-dating handle the calendar math.
Adding a Day
Click + Add Day to append an empty shoot day at the bottom of your schedule. Drag strips into it from other days or from the unscheduled pool.
Editing a Day
Click any day header to expand an inline form. Set the date, crew call, cast call, on-set time, first shot time, and notes. Press Enter to save, Escape to cancel.
The first shot time anchors the whole timeline — change it and every strip’s estimated start time shifts accordingly.
Deleting a Day
Click the delete button on a day header. Its strips return to the unscheduled pool. Remaining days auto-renumber to fill the gap.
Setting Dates
Set a project start date and days automatically receive sequential dates. Skip weekends by toggling Weekends: Off (the default) — days jump from Friday to Monday.
Page Counts
Pages are shown in eighths — the film industry standard. “3 1/8 pgs” means 25 eighths of a page. Each day also shows an hours estimate calculated from its total page count (eighths × 20 minutes ÷ 60).
The Unscheduled Pool
Strips not assigned to any day appear in a dashed-border section below your shoot days. They’re faded to distinguish them from scheduled work. Drag them into days when you’re ready to schedule them.
