Two Ways to See Your Schedule
G-Casper Pro offers two views of your shooting schedule: the traditional Stripboard for detailed scene-level work, and a Calendar view for the big picture. Both show the same data, and changes in one appear instantly in the other.
Tip: Toggle between views using the view switcher in the top toolbar. Use stripboard for scene ordering and calendar for spotting conflicts with holidays or location availability.
The Stripboard View
Each scene is represented as a horizontal strip with color coding:
| Stripboard Element | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Scene Number | The script scene number |
| Scene Description | Brief description of the action |
| INT/EXT | Interior or Exterior |
| D/N | Day or Night |
| Page Count | Length in script eighths |
| Cast Members | Which cast appear in the scene |
| Location | Where the scene is shot |
| Day Break | Visual separator between shoot days |
Reordering Scenes
Drag and drop to reorder your schedule:
- Click and hold any scene strip
- Drag it to the new position
- Drop it where you want it scheduled
- Day breaks automatically adjust as needed
- Cast and crew DOODs update in real-time
Tip: Hold Shift while dragging to select multiple consecutive scenes and move them together.

Day Breaks and Scheduling
Day breaks divide your schedule into shoot days. To manage day breaks:
- Double-click between scenes to insert a day break
- Drag a day break up or down to adjust day lengths
- Right-click a day break for options (delete, set date, add notes)
- Page counts automatically tally for each day
Important: Adding or removing scenes affects your total page count and may shift your schedule. Always double-check DOOD implications after major schedule changes.
The Calendar View
The calendar view presents your shoot days in a familiar monthly grid:
| Calendar Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Shoot Days | Highlighted with day number and total pages |
| Prep/Wrap Days | Shown in a different color |
| Holidays/Dark Days | Clearly marked as non-shoot days |
| Location Notes | Brief location info visible on hover |
| Weather Icons | Forecast for each upcoming shoot day |
Syncing Views
Both views show the same underlying schedule. Changes in one immediately reflect in the other. Use stripboard for scene-level work and calendar for spotting date conflicts.
