From Schedule to Call Sheet
After a schedule import, each day's scene schedule is already built: one strip per scene with its number, INT/EXT, D/N, set, description and pages, colored by the G-Matrix. The banners between scenes come across too, in the positions your stripboard has them.
Banner Types
A banner on the call sheet is one of five types. Each has a fixed color that sets it apart from the scene strips.
| Type | Used for |
|---|---|
| Company Move | Company, push and small moves |
| Lunch | Lunch and meal breaks |
| Setup | Setup, set up and load-in |
| Strike/Wrap | Strike and wrap |
| Other... | Anything else, with the banner's own text kept. Travel and back-in rows land here |
Tip: Other banners print smaller and in grey, so notes like TRAVEL or BACK IN read as information and do not compete with the scene strips.
What Gets Extracted
What comes across depends on the source:
- Movie Magic 6 and 10 PDFs: scene strips and the banner rows between them. A Crew Setup banner is added from the shooting call, and call time, camera wrap and tail lights rows come in as Other
- USS files: scene strips, and each banner is sorted into a type by its text
- G-Casper and Casper Excel files: scene strips only. Add banners on the call sheet
- Scene numbers are kept exactly as written, suffixes included (1A, 12B)
