PREVISTO. Enter the Studio

ON THE SLATE · IN DEVELOPMENT

Budgeting & scheduling,
one export away.

From previz to the production office.

By the time you’ve boarded a scene, it’s already broken down — cast, props, locations, day and night, every setup. Previsto turns that into the paperwork every production runs on: what takes a coordinator days of manual tagging becomes a one-minute import into the tools your office already trusts.

THE GRIND, TODAY

Break it down by hand.

Every element tagged into the scheduling software by hand, scene by scene — then again after every rewrite. The industry runs on it; nobody loves it.

DaysPER PASS, PER REWRITE

WITH PREVISTO

It broke itself down while you boarded.

Tagging is how the studio thinks — it’s all structured the moment your boards exist. The breakdown isn’t a second job. It’s a receipt.

One importEXPORT · OPEN · DONE

The industry’s scheduling tools have had an import door for decades — built for tagged scripts. Previsto writes exactly the files that door expects. No new software. No retyping.

EXPORT 01

The tagged script

Your screenplay, every element tagged — the format the standard scheduling import reads natively. Open it, and the breakdown populates itself.

EXPORT 02

Breakdown sheets

Per scene: cast, props, location, time of day, setups, page weight — straight from the registry your boards were governed by.

EXPORT 03

Day-out-of-days & stripboard data

Who works when — the raw material of a schedule, derived from what you actually boarded.

EXPORT 04

Budget quantities

Shoot days, cast days, setups, locations, page counts — the numbers a line producer prices, counted off the boards instead of estimated from memory.
