Active timeline builder

Run your shoot day live — a ticking clock, time blocks, shots, and crew.

Build your shoot day as an active run-of-day timeline. Add time blocks, then drop in shots (image, notes, duration, crew) or activities like lunch. A live clock counts down the block you’re in, turns it green while it’s happening and red if it runs over, and fades shots as you check them off. Export to print or PDF. Saved locally as you build it.

The green block is happening now, red means it ran over — all saved in your browser as you build it.

Timeline in prepros — the shoot day, live

Inside prepros

Run the day from one live schedule.

Shoot days run on a schedule that usually lives on paper, printed the night before, out of date by the second setup, invisible to anyone not holding it.

In prepros, the timeline is live: time blocks hold your shots and activities, the current block counts down, finished items get checked off, and anything running late turns red—for everyone, including the shared link.

Blocks & shots

Schedule shots from your shotlists into timed blocks, with durations and start times.

Live on set

A running clock and countdown on the active block; late blocks flag themselves red.

Feeds the call sheet

Link the timeline to a call sheet and the schedule prints block by block.
