What's New in Cinapse — July 2026

Update
July 17, 2026

Control the Weather

You can’t control the weather (even though every AD wishes they could). You can, however, control exactly how it displays in Cinapse.

Weather drives real scheduling decisions, so this release gives you full control over how it appears. Display temperatures in Celsius or Fahrenheit, and pick exactly which parts of the forecast show on the breakdown sheet, so you see what matters and skip what doesn't. Sun times extend to your banners as well: use @sunrise and @sunset directly in text banners, or drop the {Sunrise} and {Sunset} tokens into your daybreak and start-of-day banners through the Layout Manager.

Merge Duplicate Elements

Breaking down a script generates duplicates. The same prop, the same vehicle, the same background element shows up across scenes, and cleaning it up by hand is tedious and error-prone. You can now merge duplicate elements directly on the breakdown sheet: select the ones that belong together, merge them, and you're left with a single element that consolidates the details. No re-import and no manual reconciliation. It's on the breakdown sheet, and accessible via the Element Manager.

Reports for Any Category

List reports and category-by-day reports were previously constrained in the categories they could work with, which meant workarounds when you needed something specific. Both report types now work with any category. Build a location report, a set report, or a Scenes by Day vs Night report and generate it directly, no restructuring required. Run them from the reports menu.

More Features. More Improvements.
