DEV

Development

Script, story bible, mood boards. AI drafts scenes and doctors structure; every pass is a proposal you accept or reject.

PREP

Pre-production

Cast, crew, locations, wardrobe, equipment. AI breaks the script down, so every list starts full instead of empty.

SHOOT

Production

Stripboard, call sheets, shoot mode. AI schedules against daylight, cast and locations; you drag what it gets wrong.

POST

Post-production

Cut review with timecoded feedback. Ship master files with watermarking. No AI touches the cut.

WRAP

Wrap and archive

The four surfaces above are where most of the day goes. These are the rest of the jobs a production hands to a spreadsheet, a WhatsApp group or nobody at all.

Auto script breakdown

Auto script breakdown

Tag cast, props, wardrobe, vehicles and VFX straight off the page. Every element flows into the schedule and the budget without being typed twice.

Cross-day stripboard drag

Cross-day stripboard drag

Move a scene between shoot days and the strips, page counts and day totals recalculate. Company moves and daylight are respected.

Per-department call times

Per-department call times

Camera at 06:30, art at 05:00, cast HMU staggered. One lock and every department gets its own time, not the general call.

Identity-locked storyboards

Identity-locked storyboards

Generate a shot from the scene, then keep the same face across every frame. Change the lens or the wardrobe without losing the actor.

Budget against actuals

Budget against actuals

Line items by department with budgeted, committed and spent side by side, plus burn rate and the five largest costs.

Locations with recce photos

Locations with recce photos

Every location carries its map pin, access notes, contact, permit status and the exact scenes shot there.

Crew by department

Crew by department

Roster grouped the way a call sheet is, with day rates, onboarding status and who still has not signed.

Open roles and pitches

Open roles and pitches

Post a role, collect pitches, review them in a pipeline and hire without leaving the production.

Equipment and rentals

Equipment and rentals

Gear ledger with per-day rates, booking windows and what is already out on another unit.

Tasks in three views

Tasks in three views

One backlog seen as a table, a board or a calendar, with scenes and shoot days linked to the work they belong to.

Story context the AI reads

Story context the AI reads

Tone, audience, language, references and character voice, held in one place so every AI pass writes in your film's register.

Raise against the production

Raise against the production

Open a round on the film itself, publish the pitch, and track tickets and slots as they fill.

The reframe

A production runs on nine tools.It shouldn’t.

Script here, breakdown there, schedule in a third place, call sheets in a fourth, and a budget that finds out last. Crelace is the same work with one file underneath it.

Your production today
Your production on Crelace
The script lives in Final Draft.
Every revision is a new PDF, and the breakdown is stale the moment you export it.
The script is the production.
Lock a draft and its scenes, cast and locations already exist everywhere downstream.
Breakdown is a person with a highlighter.
Two days a pass, and it starts again from the top after every coloured revision.
Breakdown runs on import.
Cast, props, wardrobe and vehicles tagged off the page, re-run in seconds after a revision.
Storyboards get commissioned, or skipped.
Weeks of turnaround and a per-frame cost, so most scenes never get boarded at all.
Any scene, boarded in minutes.
Generated from the script with your cast's likeness held across every frame.
The schedule is a separate app.
Movie Magic cannot read your script, so the same scene list gets typed in twice.
The stripboard already read the script.
Auto-scheduled against locations, cast availability and daylight. You drag what it gets wrong.
Call sheets are last night's spreadsheet.
Rebuilt by hand each evening, emailed at midnight, out of date by the unit call.
Call sheets send themselves.
Lock the day and every department gets its own call time, on WhatsApp and email.
The budget is a file nobody opens.
Reconciled after the fact, so an overspend surfaces about a week too late to act on.
The budget is wired to the schedule.
Committed and spent move with the shoot days, by department, while you are still shooting.

AI sits in the tedious half: drafting, tagging, boarding and first scheduling passes. It proposes, you decide. It never touches the cut, a budget you signed, or a call sheet after you lock it.

FAQ

QUESTIONS?

Feature, ad, series and OTT productions of any size. A solo filmmaker taking a short from logline to delivery uses the same app a production house runs a thirty-day schedule on; the difference is how many people are on it, not what it can do. It is built around Indian production practice first, so rupees, WhatsApp, multi-language scripts and Indian crew structures are native rather than bolted on, but nothing in it is India-only.

For writing and breakdown, yes. The editor is format-aware, handles scene headings, character cues, dual dialogue and revision marks, and exports a clean PDF. Where it goes further is that the script is not a separate file: lock a draft and its scenes, cast, locations and elements already exist in the schedule, the call sheets and the budget. You are not exporting a PDF and re-typing it into a second tool.

The stripboard, DOOD, call sheets and budget cover the scheduling and on-set work most productions use those for. What it does not do yet is union-specific payroll accounting or the deeper studio-level budget forms some completion bonds ask for. If you have a live Movie Magic schedule you want to move across, we help import it rather than asking you to rebuild it by hand.

Yes. Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain and Celtx files import with scene structure intact, and a PDF script can be brought in and parsed. On import the breakdown runs automatically, so characters, locations and elements are tagged and ready to schedule rather than starting from an empty board.

You do, entirely. Your scripts, storyboards and production data are never used to train any model, ours or a provider's. When an AI feature runs, only the scoped context that feature needs is sent, and it is not retained for training by the providers we call. You can export everything and delete a production at any time.

Production data sits in a managed Postgres database hosted on AWS in the United States (us-east-1), with uploaded files in object storage. If your production requires data to stay in a specific region, tell us before you start and we will confirm whether we can meet it, rather than you finding out later.

You give it the brief, references and character sheets that live in the project's Context. It drafts scene by scene, and every pass is a proposal you accept, edit or reject rather than something applied to your draft. Ghost-text finishes a line in the register you have already established. The doctor pass looks at act structure and pacing across the whole script instead of a single scene.

The features are the same. Script passes, breakdown, and storyboard generation are available on every plan, because a solo filmmaker needs them as much as a house does. What the higher plans add is priority in the generation queue during busy periods, plus the team and studio controls listed on each card.

Anyone who can open the production. It is per person, not per device, so the same producer on a laptop at the office and a phone on set is one user. Crew you bring on for a single shoot count only while they have access, so a production that staffs up for four weeks and wraps is not paying for them afterwards.

No, unless you decide they should. Access is per production and per role. A producer sees everything. Crew see the overview, their own tasks, the schedule, call sheets, files and review. Budget, rates and negotiations are not visible to them, and an accepted pitch does not give someone the finance tab.

Call sheets are built to be usable on a phone at the location, and the PDF that goes out over WhatsApp and email is the fallback when there is no signal at all. Full offline editing is not there yet. If your locations are genuinely dark, the honest answer today is to send the PDF ahead of the day.

Script as PDF, call sheets as PDF, the stripboard and DOOD, budget as CSV, shoot days to Google Calendar, and investor decks pulled from live production data. Exports are not watermarked on paid plans.

Each plan includes a number of seats and extra seats are billed per seat per month. A seat is a person who can open the production, not a device, so the same person on a laptop at the office and a phone on set is one seat. Crew you invite for a single shoot count as seats only while they have access.

Every plan includes email support. Production plans get a dedicated Slack channel and an onboarding session to bring an existing schedule across. We answer inside one working day, and faster during a shoot week if you tell us you are on the floor.
