Movie Magic's Newest Release, EP Scheduling 4.0 is the refreshing next version of the industry standard script breakdown and shooting schedule software. It is the most flexible and robust script breakdown and scheduling software on the market.
What's New:
EP Scheduling has added the all new Element Linking feature. Now items can be linked together so that when one is inserted on a breakdown sheet, the linked elements will be inserted also.
In addition to element linking, there is now the ability to create anchor groups so the same element can have different sets of linked elements for different situations.
Now includes the ability to move elements between different categories without losing their placement on the breakdown sheets.
Now has the ability to have banners or strips after the last daybreak without adding a final daybreak automatically.
Now includes the ability to customize the Day out of Days report header and footer in a simple user interface.
Now includes the ability to print a range of strips in the strips and reports section of Print/View. Ranges include: selected strips, dates, dates, scenes, and sheets.
Now includes the ability to include banners on all “by sheet” reports.
Element sum now has the ability to display as just text or text with a total count of elements for a sheet.
Daybreaks on printed reports can now have their alignment set by the setting on the active stripboard.
ID lists can now be assigned to any category instead of just cast members.
ID tables in vertical strip layouts can now be assigned to any category instead of just cast members.
The Cast Members category now cannot be renamed to prevent other known issues within the application.
