Auto-Draft Cast Call Times
G-Casper Pro reads the day's scene order and drafts CALL, BLK/REH, SET and LOSE @ for every cast member in a scene. Drafts sit at half opacity in empty cells. Approve one, approve the row, or type your own time over it.
| ID | CHARACTER | CAST | CALL | BLK/REH | SET | LOSE @ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | NORA | Dana Whitfield | 7:00 AM | 7:00 AM | 8:00 AM | 7:15 PM |
2 | SAM | Marcus Bell | 8:45 AM | 9:15 AM | 10:15 AM | 3:30 PM |
3 | LILY | Ava Moreno | 8:30 AM | 9:15 AM | 10:15 AM | 7:15 PM |
Non-Destructive Schedule Re-Import
When the schedule is revised, bring in the new Movie Magic PDFs or USS file and keep the call sheet work you have already done. A five-step wizard shows scenes added, removed and moved, you accept or deny each change, and every import is saved as a version you can restore.
Import an updated schedule while preserving your existing call sheet work.
This feature helps you update your schedule without losing call sheet work. Your existing data is preserved. You control what changes.
Multi-Day Auto Call Sheet Generation
Import a Movie Magic 6 or 10 schedule, a ThinkCrew USS file, or a G-Casper or Casper Excel file once, and G-Casper Pro builds a call sheet for every shoot day. Scenes and cast come through from every source. Banner strips such as Lunch and Company Move come through from Movie Magic and USS.

Automatic Background Scheduling
The extras on each scene in the breakdown become background role groups, and each group gets a drafted CALL from the day's scene order. On the CS Back, the background lunch count and the food restrictions of everyone on the day are totaled for you. No more tallying dietary needs by hand.
| Sc | Set | Pgs | Background Actors |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | INT. Harbor Precinct - Bullpen | 2 4/8 | |
| 14 | EXT. Precinct Steps | 1 2/8 | |
| 15 | INT. Marlowe's Diner | 3 1/8 | |
| 16 | EXT. Diner Parking Lot | 4/8 |
Edit a BACKGROUND ACTORS line, then open Background. Groups follow the breakdown.
Department Speed Schedule
Tick the departments working the day, give each one a call, and submit. Every member lands on the CS Back at their department's call. Add Only leaves anyone already on the day alone. Overwrite All replaces the day's crew.
Speed Schedule
Bulk schedule crew from your crew list to the call sheet. For new crew: adds them with their department. For existing crew: updates their call time only.
Crew DOOD Checkbox Scheduling
Switch the Crew DOOD into Checkbox Speed Schedule mode and click or drag across cells to put crew on shoot days. Codes like SW, W and WF follow from the days you mark, and every change lands on that day's call sheet.
Click to toggle, drag across cells, or Shift+Click to fill a rectangle.

Relative & Offset Call Times
Crew call times are stored as offsets from the general crew call. Move the general call and every offset call moves with it. No more retyping 40 crew times because call moved by 30 minutes.
AD Control Panel
The Production Health page on the Welcome tab scores the production's setup and the current day, then lists what is still missing: a hospital address, a scene with no cast, a minor over their hours. Each item has a Fix button that opens the right tab.

Bulk Copy Crew Calls Across Days
Build one day's crew calls properly, then copy them to any other shoot days in one pass. Calls travel as offsets from each target day's general crew call. Add Only keeps the crew already on those days. Overwrite All replaces them.

Copy crew call configurations from Day 15 to other days.
