Generate a one-liner

The one-liner is a compact day-by-day schedule — one row per scene, with just the essentials. Producers and ADs use it for quick scheduling reference, distribution to stakeholders, and meetings. This article covers generating the one-liner, regrouping it, and exporting.

The one-liner first shows a read-only preview of the current schedule. Select Sync from Schedule to save a version you can edit and export. That saved version stays unchanged until you use Refresh Data. See Reports you save and reports that stay current.

Before you start

  • You have a scenario that is active or locked in the Schedule section. Without one you see “No schedule data available — Lock a scenario to generate the one-liner schedule.”
  • Any project member can view the preview and saved one-liner. Syncing, refreshing, editing, managing variations, and exporting require the Admin role.

Generate the one-liner

  1. Open Reports and select the One-Liner card.
  2. The schedule renders from the active scenario as a read-only preview.
  3. To freeze it into an editable, exportable document, select Sync from Schedule in the side panel.

What is on the page

Grouped by day, the one-liner shows:

  • Non-shooting day banners — travel, prep, and hiatus days appear as coloured banners.
  • Shooting day headers — day number, date, and unit.
  • Scene rows — scene number, INT/EXT and day or night, Set, description or synopsis, cast IDs, and page count.
  • Footer summary — total shoot days, total scenes, total pages.

The row format is intentionally compact — one line per scene, no extended notes.

Regroup the schedule

The Reports left rail has a Group by selector that re-groups the same scenes without leaving the page:

  • By shoot day (default) — the chronological day-by-day layout.
  • By Set — scenes gathered under each in-story Set.
  • By INT/EXT — interiors and exteriors separated.
  • By status — scenes bucketed by status.

The active grouping is reflected in the page address, so a grouped view can be bookmarked or shared.

Export

The side panel shows Export PDF, which downloads a print-ready copy with a standard built-in header. It is available once you have synced the one-liner; if you have not synced yet, sync first. The side panel also shows a summary of total shoot days, scenes, and pages.

Manage one-liner variations

Each scenario can hold multiple one-liner variations — useful when sharing alternative day orders or stripped-down versions with different stakeholders. The version picker at the top of the canvas shows the active variation and a Manage button.

Inside Manage variations, you can create an Empty draft, Copy active variation, or start with the latest schedule using Fresh snapshot from upstream. You can choose the primary variation and rename or delete any variation that is not active. Editing or refreshing one variation does not change the others. The first sync creates the active Main variation.
