StoryboardCanvas vs. Movie Magic Scheduling

Movie Magic Scheduling is great scheduling software from 2005 — StoryboardCanvas Schedule is that, rebuilt for the browser, synchronized to your script, and priced for indies.

Movie Magic Scheduling has been the industry standard for decades — because nothing else did stripboards well. StoryboardCanvas Schedule is a modern web-based stripboard that reads your screenplay in real time, syncs with your call sheets, and costs a fraction per month.

The verdict

"Movie Magic Scheduling is the studio lot's incumbent — desktop binaries, per-seat licences, the workflow every senior 1st AD learned twenty years ago. StoryboardCanvas runs the same stripboard logic in any browser, talks to the breakdown live (drag a scene and the day-page count updates), and lets the director see the same board on their phone without a license file."
