Locations
Scouting, permits, logistics. Every shoot location, mapped and ready.
Scout locations, track permits, attach tech-scout photos, route company moves, and link every location back to the scenes it hosts. Producers live here the week before the shoot. The Permits sub-tab carries colour-coded status chips you cycle with a click (pending → approved → expired → rejected). And the AI Artist app can generate style-locked concept renders of any location — interior, exterior, daylight, night — so your director, DP, and production designer can pre-visualise before you've even scouted.
Replaces: StudioBinder Locations + Google Maps + a dozen spreadsheets
The numbers
Locations by the figures.
Every figure below is live in the product today — counted from the running code, not the marketing deck.
The pipeline
Where Locations sits in the production flow.
Where the production actually happens. Locations sits between the breakdown's INT/EXT extraction and the call sheet's daily address. Every confirmed location flows automatically to the call sheet, the schedule's company-move logic, and the producer's risk dashboard.

3 AI commands wired into Locations.
Every command shows its credit cost before you commit. Every response is anchored in your real project — not a generic prompt.

25 crSend the location's notes + scout photos to the AI Artist for a style-locked concept render — any aspect ratio, any time of day.
Permit risk scorer
2 crReads the location's permit status + jurisdiction + scout timeline + flags shoots at risk of going live without a valid permit.
Travel-matrix optimiser
3 crRe-orders shoot days to minimise total company-move time across the schedule.
Talks to every app
Locations reads + writes to the same project file.
No re-entry, no copy-paste, no out-of-sync versions. Every connection below is a live data path in the running product.
Shares one project file
Locations reads and writes to the same synchronized project as every other app in the suite. Change one thing upstream and every dependent surface picks it up automatically.
Powered by DollyAi™
Dolly reads everything Locations needs to know about your project before you even ask. She suggests, you approve — never the other way around.
Never-lose-saves
Every change is autosaved, versioned, and restorable. Roll back Locations to any point without losing downstream work.
Frequently asked
Common questions about Locations.
Can I track multiple permit statuses per location?
Yes — each permit row carries its own status chip (pending / approved / expired / rejected) and expiry date with 30-day alerts surfaced on the producer dashboard.
Does the travel matrix know about real driving distances?
Yes — distances + drive times auto-calculate between every scouted pin pair. The day-order optimiser reads from it to minimise total company-move time across the schedule.
Can the AI Artist generate location concept renders before I scout?
Yes — per-location Send to AI Artist generates a style-locked concept render of any location at any time of day. Pre-visualise interior, exterior, day, night, weather before scouting day.
Can locations export as KML for Google Earth?
Yes — one-click KML export ships all scouted pins with metadata. Plus a per-location embed lands on every call sheet PDF.
