You can now export your Shooting Schedule Report in CSV format. This creates a spreadsheet that contains ALL the data from the breakdown sheets in your Shooting Schedule.
Structurally, the spreadsheet contains one row per scene and one column per Breakdown Sheet data-field (eg. Scene#, Int/Ext, Cast, Background, Props, etc). Many customers have requested this file format to dramatically speed up their Call Sheet creation workflow. You can use this to quickly copy/paste the relevant data from your breakdown sheets into your CS or any other document you need to get out.
The CSV looks like this:
UX Improvements
One-liner report cast list columns. Cast list now wraps to three columns before triggering a page-break. Should fit all cast on first page for most users.
Improved text-banner experience. We put all editable text-banner data-fields on one section in the Left-Panel when modifying the text-banner. This increases speed so that you can just {tab} through all the fields and input Notes, Est. Time, etc. faster.
Added tooltips. Added hints that reveal upon hover to Start-of-day banner icon, and text-banner icon with hotkeys.
Faster strip-data-updating. We sped up the updating time for strips for displaying Background Quantities and newly created built-in elements (eg. like new Sets, or Script Days). Previously, the strip wouldn’t update until after you dragged the strip. Now it re-renders in real-time as the data changes.
Prevent users from accidentally creating duplicate elements. We found a bug where the “+Create” element action was visible to users when they had typed in an exact match to an existing element. This was creating unintentional duplicate elements in the file.
“Sort strips’’ hotkey is now {Cmd + Shift + O}. We changed this hotkey from Cmd + O because in Firefox this would trigger a browser action.
Bug fixes
Fixed “duplicate stripboard” bug that was causing Day 0 daybreaks. For users who duplicated a board between Friday, June 7 - Saturday, June 8, there was a temporary bug in the system that would cause all daybreaks to display as “Day 0” both in the stripboard and the one-liner report. We have since fixed this bug, but if you are still experiencing this, you need to — delete the board that produces Day 0 daybreaks —. Email us if you still have this issue and we can assist with your file.
Fixed daybreak page-counts totaling incorrectly. For all users who are noticing page-counts not adding up correctly (eg. It’s incorrectly summing what’s UNDERNEATH the end of day break, instead of above it) — follow these steps:
Go to your Layout Manager
Go to the Layout you have on your board
Go to “Daybreaks”
In the lower portion of your screen you’ll notice a dropdown menu in the upper-right corner called “Daybreak type”. If this field is empty, click it and set the daybreak = “End of Day”. This will correct everything.
Fixed report-filtering by Date Range. Filtering reports by date-range / shoot-day range was temporarily disconnected. We have fixed it.
Fixed report-filtering by Element. Same issue as above. Filtering by specific cast, or set, etc was temporarily broken. We fixed it.
Hotkeys in stripboard sometimes not working. Found a bug where the text-banner was focused in a manner that disabled hotkeys. Therefore, using hotkeys while you had a text-banner selected would either do nothing or cause strange pasting behavior. Fixed this, it shouldn’t be happening anymore.
Text-wrapping in strips now works again. Found a bug in some files where text-wrapping was not being respected. This should be fixed.
We’re excited to unveil Cinapse 1.21, packed with exciting new features, key improvements, and essential bug fixes designed to make your production scheduling smoother than ever.
