Start with the shape of the work
Choose a film, commercial, animation, AI film, hybrid or custom template in the workspace. A template is a starting structure, not a promise about how long your production should take. Rename tasks, set dates and adjust durations to reflect the work you actually expect.
Keep decisions such as picture lock or final delivery distinguishable from the work leading up to them. A useful schedule makes those handoffs visible instead of burying them in a long list of generic tasks.
Change perspective without copying the plan
Use the timeline when you need to understand overlaps. Move to the schedule table for a detailed pass over names, dates and assigned people. Open the calendar when the question is about a particular day. Changes come from the same project data across these views.
A task occupies one continuous date range. If work genuinely stops and restarts, describe the separate pieces as separate tasks instead of hiding a gap inside a single bar. Review nearby work after changing a date; a longer bar does not prove that the rest of the production can absorb it.
Keep the plan in your hands
Manual scheduling does not require an AI connection. The optional Agent gives you another way to request edits, but your judgment still decides whether the result is workable. Check the task and its context, and use Undo if the change is not right.
The workspace saves project data in that browser. It is not an account-synced team workspace. Export a copy before clearing browser data, changing devices or depending on another person having the same plan.
- Review the current dates before sending an export.
- Choose a readable PDF or an editable spreadsheet for the recipient.
- Keep a separate copy of important production records.
On the desk
One plan, three perspectives
Choose the view that answers your current question. These are views of the same project, not separate copies.
| View | Use it to |
|---|---|
| Timeline | See phases, overlap and the shape of the project |
| Schedule | Check task names, dates and assignments |
| Calendar | Read the plan against actual calendar dates |
No account needed for manual planning. Your project stays in this browser unless you export it or use a connected AI route.
