A director's viewfinder when you're on your own. A production workspace on your phone when you're with a crew.
ON YOUR OWN (no sign-in needed)
VIEWFINDER
• True field of view for the camera you're shooting on: a library of ARRI, Sony, RED, Blackmagic, Canon, Panasonic and other bodies, or enter a custom sensor size
• Lens sets and focal lengths
• Frame lines, a second frame line, grid, safe areas and center mark
• Level, compass, sun position, sunrise and sunset
• Exposure compensation or manual exposure (ISO, shutter angle)
• Tap to focus and meter, long-press to lock AE/AF
• Zebras from 70 to 100%
• LiDAR rangefinder: distance to the focus point (LiDAR-equipped Pro models)
• Portrait or landscape
• Ten built-in Cine looks, or import your own .cube LUTs
• Record video with the frame lines burned in
SCOUTING BOOK
• Every photo is tagged with camera, focal length, aspect ratio, field of view, location, heading, tilt and sun position
• See the whole scout pinned on a map
• Export the book as a PDF
• Attach it to a project so the whole crew can see it
WITH YOUR CREW (sign in with Apple or a CREA account)
TODAY
• Call time in big type
• Where the project stands, from prep to wrap
• What needs you now
• On the project list: this week's shoot days across all your projects, side by side
• The night before each shoot day, once the call sheet is out, the crew gets a push: “Shoot tomorrow: Kitchen Light · call 07:30 · sunrise 05:42 · Clear · 18–24°C”
CALL SHEETS
• Leads build and publish from their phone; the whole crew gets a push
• New versions mark what changed
• Everyone taps “Got it”; the lead sees who has read it and who has confirmed
• Weather, sunrise and sunset, magic hour
• Locations with a map and travel time
• Meal counts: regular, vegetarian or none
CALENDAR (NEW)
• Scouts, purchasing, meetings, prep, post and delivery, alongside the shoot days
• Anyone on the team can add events and @mention people, who get a notification
• Subscribe in iPhone Calendar and it updates on its own, or add a single event
SHOTS AND TAKES
• Storyboard frames, reference images and video for each shot
• Log takes in one tap: NG, OK, GOOD, PRINT (project lead or delegate)
• Script supervisor notes on each take: camera file number, sound file number, timecode
• At wrap, export the script log as a PDF for editorial: every take by shot, with its rating, file numbers and timecode
HOURS
• Everyone punches in at call and out at wrap
• Hours and overtime add up automatically, totaled per person
• Export the timesheet as a PDF
BULLETINS
• Company move, meal, call, running late, wrap: one post pushes to the whole crew
• Everyone taps “Got it,” and you can see who hasn't
WALKIE
• Crew chat, voice messages, photos and “I'm here” location cards
• A live push-to-talk channel: hold to talk, and keep listening with your phone locked
• On iPhones with an Action button, set it to jump straight into the channel
ALSO ON THE PROJECT
• Task board
• Docs: read the script offline
• Crew list with one-tap calling
• Gear lists: preset library, check-off, drag to reorder, PDF
• Expenses: photograph the receipt on set, the lead approves from their phone
• Budget: passcode-protected, PDF export
• Avail checks: yes, maybe or no for each date
• Members, plus a delegate who can run the project with you
• Project map
OFFLINE AND ACCOUNT
• Call sheets, docs, gear, budget and your project list open with no signal. Edits queue up and upload when you're back online.
