Timeline

Plan your shoot day

Build the day as time blocks, drop your shots into them, and run the shoot from a schedule that keeps pace with you.

The timeline is your shoot day, hour by hour: blocks of time, each holding the shots and activities that happen in it. Plan it before the shoot; run the day from it on set.

Build the schedule

  1. Create a timeline on your production and set its date. Multi-day shoot? Add one per day—Day 1, Day 2, and so on.
  2. Add time blocks ("Morning looks, 8:00–11:30") each with its own color.
  3. Fill each block with shots (picked from any of your shotlists, multi-select to add a batch) and activities like lunch or a location move.
  4. Give items durations if you want start times computed down the block; drag to reorder as the plan firms up.

Each scheduled shot carries its attachments—crew as avatars, looks, products, and references as chips.

Put it on the callsheet

Link the timeline to your callsheet and the day's schedule renders on the sheet, block by block. Update the timeline and the callsheet's schedule follows.

Run the day on set

On shoot day, the timeline becomes a live view:

  • A running clock tracks the day, with a countdown on the current block ("40 min left").
  • Check off shots and activities as they're done. Completing a shot updates its status on the shotlist too.
  • Blocks that run past their end time without being finished turn red, so slippage is visible the moment it starts.

Tip

Share the timeline before the shoot. The shared link shows live progress too, so a client or producer following along can watch the day move without pinging you.
