For Documentary
Documentary production software for stories told out of order.
For the doc that shoots over 18 months and edits for six.
Documentary production breaks every scheduling assumption in narrative software. Interview subjects travel. Scenes are discovered, not written. StoryboardCanvas treats doc workflows as first-class citizens - flexible scenes, shooting plans that re-order on the fly, and an AI assistant that reads transcripts and suggests coverage.
