EP Scheduling is a software application designed for film and TV industry professionals to manage and report on shoot schedules. It helps to streamline the production workflow, ensuring deadlines are met and team members are efficiently scheduled.
One of the standout features of EP Scheduling is its ability to import and export custom designs. This feature allows users to move customized strip and report designs between schedules. Additionally, users can create unlimited multiple schedules and shooting scenarios within the same file. Users can combine different boards with different calendars through drop-down menus conveniently located on the stripboard.
The software also comes equipped with an estimated time field feature that gives users the ability to approximate production times. The time field is flexible and calculates by day or scene in a variety of reportable ways. Another feature that enhances user experience is the new advanced find/replace feature. This helps users locate specific information quickly and easily anywhere within all categories and do a system-wide replace.
EP Scheduling also comes with an effortless feature that allows users to sort strips between scheduled and unscheduled areas by using the drag and drop feature.
