Film production software home - every project in one place.

Start a film, track its stage from development to wrap, and open any of the twenty apps from one home. Sub-projects, recent files and a live production overview, always in front of you.

See the Dashboard
The StoryboardCanvas Dashboard welcoming the user back with a production-overview row reading 13 scenes, 20 shots, 12 cast, 8 shoot days and 50% complete, cards for credits, a daily streak, the next shoot day, an inbox of Dolly alerts about tomorrow's shoot day and unconfirmed cast, and quick actions for production progress, ask Dolly, a 14-day burn-down, the weekly digest and open drafts.
The Dashboard's Mission Control panel titled 'your day', with tiles for 3 things that need you today, 0 approvals waiting on you, 5 scenes you are blocking, 0 you are blocked by and 0 changed since your last visit; a 'do next' banner flagging an overdue picture wrap; lists of what needs you (overdue picture wrap, overdue mid-shoot review, editorial handoff due soon); and a dependencies section naming what you are blocking - cast the open roles across 2 scenes, clear the child work permits, book the vehicles across 5 scenes - with a role selector for the hat you are wearing.
The Dashboard's cross-over import modal titled 'bring your production with you', inviting the user to drop an export from Movie Magic, Final Draft, StudioBinder, Gorilla, Yamdu or Celtx, or any script, with a drop zone accepting FDX, Fountain, PDF, Word, RTF, CSV, Movie Magic .sex and Celtx files and an 'import and route' action that recognises the file, breaks it down and routes it into the right apps.
Your Dashboard
The home you land on: scenes, shots, cast, shoot days and percent complete for the current production, your credit balance and streak, an inbox of what Dolly has flagged, and quick actions into production progress, the burn-down and the weekly digest.

What's inside Dashboard

Production dashboard for every project.

  • Import anything - drop an export from Movie Magic, Final Draft, StudioBinder, Gorilla, Yamdu or Celtx and the suite routes it into the right apps
  • Let Dolly draft it - a schedule, a budget skeleton, deal memos, a compliance check, the call sheet, each one click to apply and one click to undo
  • Stakeholder links - a private no-login page for a client, a financier, a vendor or an external reviewer, expiring and revocable
  • All active productions with phase and health
  • Today's call sheets and approvals queue
  • Dolly's daily brief - what needs you right now
  • Cross-project search and recent-file jump list
  • Role-aware - producers see schedule risks, directors see creative blockers

The pipeline

Where Dashboard sits in the production flow.

The morning launchpad. Dashboard reads from every app and surfaces what matters today - role-aware so producers / directors / ADs each get the lens they need. Dolly's daily brief sits at the top; the active projects strip lives below; cross-project search Cmd+K from anywhere.

Frequently asked

Common questions about Dashboard.

Does the dashboard show what I need based on my role?

Yes. Producers see schedule risks + budget hotspots + sign-off queue. Directors see creative debt + comment threads. ADs see today's call sheet + tomorrow's hazards. One dashboard, three lenses.

Can I search across all my projects from one place?

Yes - Cmd+K from anywhere on the dashboard runs cross-project search across every script, breakdown, shotlist, cast row, location pin, prop, vehicle, scene comment. Results in under 100ms.

What is Dolly's daily brief?

A fresh morning summary of what needs you right now, across every production - approvals queue, sign-off blockers, schedule risks, hot-cost flags, comment threads with @mentions. Cross-project, role-aware.

Can I switch between productions from the dashboard?

Yes - the active project picker lives in the topbar, persisted across sessions. Switch productions and every other app follows immediately.
