Exporting your work

This page gathers, mode by mode, every document the application can produce. The general principle — the Export control, the panel of cards, the "Save As" dialog — is described in Exporting, in short.

Formats​

The application exports three formats today: PDF (documents to print or circulate), XLSX (editable spreadsheet workbooks) and .fountain (screenplay as plain text).

The documents, mode by mode​

Screenplay​

  • Screenplay PDF — the script typeset as pages, with the title page and explicit scene numbers. (PDF)
  • Fountain screenplay — the screenplay as Fountain text. (.fountain)

Breakdown​

  • Breakdown sheets — one sheet per scene. (PDF)
  • Breakdown workbook — a Scenes sheet and a filterable Breakdown sheet. (XLSX)

Shot list​

  • Scenario coverage — the screenplay printed with a coloured bar in the margin beside each covered passage; options for format, title page, scene numbers, legend, summary. (PDF)
  • Shot list workbook — one row per shot, all its fields. (XLSX)

Resources​

  • Resources workbook — four sheets: people, roles, locations, elements. (XLSX)
  • Contact list — the crew and cast on one circulated sheet. (PDF)

Schedule​

  • Call sheets — general and named. (PDF)
  • Shooting plan — summary grids and a per-day agenda. (PDF)
  • Shooting plan — the same as a spreadsheet, with a chronology. (XLSX)
  • Day Out of Days — the cast schedule. (PDF)
  • One-line schedule — one line per scene in shooting order. (PDF)
  • Sides — a day's screenplay pages. (PDF)

Budget​

  • Quote — the CNC nomenclature, poste by poste; offers a VAT basis. (PDF)
  • Financing plan — what pays for the film. (PDF)
  • Cash journal — every entry, with its voucher number. (XLSX)
  • Financial report — the quote against what is paid and committed. (PDF)

Options and scope​

  • Some documents open an options dialog before saving — for example, the scenario coverage offers the page format, the title page, the scene numbers, a legend page and a summary page.
  • An export tied to an episode produces the selected episode, and the suggested name includes an episode tag as soon as the project holds several.

Sending the whole project​

To pass the complete project to someone, export it as an .ocptz package — see Exporting, in short.
