MMS to USS Conversion

The converter takes two PDFs exported from Movie Magic and produces two files: a USS file and an Excel workbook. Both download automatically when the conversion completes. The USS format is the industry standard for creating, managing, and sharing schedules and breakdowns. It is supported by ThinkCrew, Cinapse, and a growing list of production tools. Converting to USS gives you a file you can open, edit, and share using any USS-compatible software. The Excel workbook contains a Days Schedule sheet and a Breakdown sheet, formatted and ready to open in Google Sheets or Excel.

The converter reads two standard reports that every version of Movie Magic can generate: the Shooting Schedule report and the Breakdown report. No custom templates, no plugins, no additional configuration.

USS (Universal Schedule Standard) is the open industry standard for schedule and breakdown data. The USS format is how modern scheduling tools store and share productions. A USS file contains the full schedule and breakdown: all scenes, shoot days, cast assignments, locations, and element categories. You can open the converted USS file in any USS-compatible tool. Import it into G-Casper Pro to generate call sheets from day one. Open it in ThinkCrew to continue scheduling. Pass it to another AD as a complete, working schedule file.

The Excel workbook has two sheets: Days Schedule and Breakdown. The Days Schedule sheet lists every scene in shooting order, grouped by shoot day, with scene number, description, location, INT/EXT, Day/Night, page count, and cast. The Breakdown sheet lists every element across all scenes, organised by category. Both sheets open in Google Sheets without modification. See Google Sheets Interoperability for more on working with G-Casper data in Google Sheets.

Every completed conversion is saved to your Conversion History on the Convert page. Re-download the USS file, Excel workbook, Shooting Schedule PDF, or Breakdown PDF at any time. Files are stored securely and do not expire.
