Advanced Layout Density

Every production has different crew sizes. A 30-person commercial crew fits comfortably on a single page with generous spacing. A 200-person feature film crew needs every pixel of vertical space to avoid spilling onto extra pages. Until now, the only way to achieve truly compact crew lists was to build them by hand in Excel, adjusting row heights, font sizes, and margins cell by cell. G-Casper Pro is the first dedicated call sheet software to match that level of density control, built directly into the app.

The Advanced Layout panel offers three presets that control row height, font size, line height, padding, and border radius across your call sheet:

• Default: Comfortable spacing for smaller crews. 24px rows, generous padding, and full border radius. Best for commercials, music videos, and productions with under 60 crew members
• Commercial: Tighter spacing that fits more crew without sacrificing readability. 18px rows, reduced padding, and smaller borders. Ideal for mid-size productions with 60-120 crew
• Blockbuster: Ultra-compact mode that matches hand-built Excel density. 12px rows, 0.9 line height, zero padding. Fits 105+ crew per column on a single US Legal page. Designed for large-scale features and TV productions with 150+ crew

The CS Front density system controls spacing for the header, scene schedule, cast list, and all front-page sections. You can apply a single preset across the entire front page, or use per-block overrides to mix presets (for example, a Commercial header with a Blockbuster scene schedule. Per-block overrides are available for every major section of the front page.

The CS Back density system applies a single uniform preset across the entire crew grid. This is intentional. The crew list is a dense, tabular data grid where consistency matters more than section-by-section variation. Changing the CS Back preset instantly adjusts row height, font size, line height, cell padding, and header styling for every department in the crew list.

Blockbuster mode is the headline feature of Advanced Layout. At 12px row height with 0.9 line height and zero padding, it achieves the same visual density as a hand-built Excel crew list. No other call sheet software has matched this level of density. On a US Legal page (14 inches), after accounting for headers and footers, Blockbuster mode provides approximately 1,264 pixels of usable vertical space. At 12px per row, that's 105 crew rows per column.

The number of crew members that fit on a single printed page in Blockbuster mode depends on your column layout:

• 2-column layout: Approximately 175 crew members per page. Suitable for most large productions
• 3-column layout: Approximately 280 crew members per page. For the largest productions where every row counts

The Advanced Layout panel includes a real-time minimap that shows exactly how your crew list will look at the current density setting. The minimap reflects your actual column layout (2 or 3 columns) and updates instantly as you switch presets. Department headers, crew rows, and column borders are all represented so you can see the impact of each preset before printing.

Density settings are saved at the production level, not locally on your device. Your density choices are shared with the entire production team. When you set Blockbuster mode, everyone on the production sees the same compact layout. CS Front and CS Back each have their own independent preset setting, so you can use Default on the front and Blockbuster on the back.

The Advanced Layout panel is accessible from the floating controls bar at the bottom of both the CS Front and CS Back tabs. Tap the layout icon to open the glassmorphic sidebar panel, where you can switch presets, view the minimap, and see crew capacity estimates. The panel is fully scrollable on mobile devices.
