Full Fat Schedule

Full Fat Schedule

The Full Fat Schedule is the comprehensive day-by-day breakdown — every scene, every element, every note, in one document. It’s what directors, producers, and ADs use as the master scheduling reference.

Generating a Full Fat Schedule

  1. Open Reports and click the Full Fat tab.
  2. The schedule renders from the active scenario. Click Export PDF to download.

If you haven’t locked a scenario, you’ll see “No schedule data available — Lock a scenario to generate the schedule.”

What’s on the Page

The schedule is organized by day:

  • Non-shooting day banners for Travel, Prep, Hiatus.
  • Shooting day headers with scene count and total page count.

For each scene, depending on Display Settings:

  • Scene heading — Number, INT/EXT, D/N, location, page count, status badge.
  • Description — The scene description (toggle).
  • Elements — Colored chips for each element grouped by type (toggle).
  • Estimated duration — Per-scene timing estimate (toggle).
  • Call time / start / wrap / setups — Production timing fields (toggles).
  • Call sheet notes and advance schedule notes — Free-text fields.
  • Weather — Icon for weather-dependent scenes, or a cover contingency.
  • AI synopsis — Italicized left-border quote (toggle).

A footer summary shows total scenes and total pages across the schedule.

Display Settings

Click the gear icon to open the Display Settings panel. Each toggle controls one field on every scene:

  • Status, Estimated Duration, Call Time, Start/Wrap Estimates, Setups, Notes, Weather, Sunrise/Sunset, Synopsis.

Use this to tailor the schedule to the audience — directors usually want everything; locations or transport might prefer a stripped-down view.

Variations

Each scenario can hold multiple full-fat schedule variations — useful when you’re working out alternative shoot orders or trimmed-down versions for different stakeholders. The version picker at the top of the canvas shows the currently viewed variation and exposes a Manage button.

Inside Manage variations you can:

  • Create new variation — pick a label and seed mode:
    • Empty draft — no upstream pull.
    • Copy active variation — full duplicate of the active body and any overrides.
    • Fresh snapshot from upstream — pull a new snapshot from the current schedule.
  • Activate a variation as the primary one for the scope.
  • Rename a variation’s label.
  • Delete a non-active variation (active and sole-remaining variations are protected).

Variations are independent: editing or refreshing one never touches its siblings. The first sync creates the Main variation, which is active.

Exporting

  • Export PDF — Direct PDF download. Uses the project-wide PDF chrome configured via the PDF Settings icon in the Reports top bar.

Tips

  • For a compact one-row-per-scene layout, use the One-liner instead.
  • Toggle off elements and notes when you want a clean executive view; turn them on for the working schedule.
  • Switch scenarios in the top-right dropdown to export alternative shoot orders side-by-side.
