Screenwriting software for film production
Write in standard screenplay format, or import your script. Lock scene numbers and pages, revise in the standard colors, and export only the pages that changed.
The same script feeds the breakdown, the shot list, the schedule and the call sheets.

Real pages, 54 lines each
What you see on screen is the page the crew will hold. The page count and the exported PDF are the same pages.
Type, and the elements format themselves: heading, character, dialogue, action.
The shot list starts from the script
Open the shot list with the script beside it, scene by scene, or populate the list from the script and edit from there.
Tag the cast on the page, and it carries to the schedule and the call sheets.
Two-column AV scripts for commercials
Audio on the left, visual on the right, with the storyboard frame beside each row.
Send the client a link. They comment and approve row by row.

Lock and revise like a production
Lock scene numbers and pages, and new material goes to A-scenes and A-pages instead of moving everything else.
Revision rounds in the standard colors, with asterisks on the changed lines and the history on the title page.
-
Import with a review
FDX, Fountain, PDF, RTF and plain text.
A new draft comes in as a scene-by-scene comparison. Accept what changed, and the breakdown and the shot list survive the rewrite.

What Directors & Producers Say
Cinelog Saves Lives
"After using Cinelog on a recent commercial, our production team decided to implement it onto our feature film set. Every department was easily onboarded and being able to upload previs and our shots kept us moving."
Game Changer, don't Start Production Without it!
"I stumbled onto this app and gave it a shot, and it's completely changed how my team and I approach pre-production. Scripting, shot lists, storyboards, cast, crew, call sheets — it's all in one ecosystem, which makes team collaboration seamless and transitions us right into the production stage without missing a beat. It's clear this app was built for the film industry by people who actually work in it."
"Super useful for planning video shoots and getting everyone on the same page. I like that it can be clean and simple for smaller productions (like making a call sheet and basic shotlist), but has lots of customizability for bigger shoots too (in depth shotlist data, sending different crew members relevant info, storyboarding, etc)."
"As a commercial and film producer this app has helped my team tremendously in all our projects, either commercials or films, I can't recommend this app enough."
All in one production tool!
"I love how I have everything I need all in one place. I've been using this for all of my pre-production needs as I produce my first feature film and it's made my workflow way more efficient."
"Honestly, the best pre-production tool I’ve used so far. It’s clean, easy to use, and doesn’t overcomplicate things. I love that I can keep working on my phone even when I’m away from my PC, that flexibility is a game changer. Big thanks to the team for building something this practical and well thought out."
Incredible tool with a bright future
"CineLog is still fresh but most certainly off to the races. This tool does an incredible job of centralizing a chunk of your creative pre-production workflow items, and making them all work seamlessly with one another to help you spend less time complaining about tech and more time developing that film/commercial. Had to leave some room for improvement as the app is ever evolving and expanding with new ideas and feedback. The app creators have certainly done a fabulous job here so far and it's absolutely worth diving into for your next project."
Common questions
Can I import a script from another app?
Yes. FDX, Fountain, PDF, RTF and plain text. A later import of the same script shows what changed, scene by scene, and you decide what to take.
Can I export back to FDX?
Yes. PDF, FDX, Fountain and plain text. The PDF can be the revised pages only, on the paper tint of the round.
What does locking do?
Locked scene numbers stay put: a scene added between 78 and 79 becomes 78A, and a removed one becomes OMITTED. Locked pages stay put too, so the crew's page numbers hold through revisions. It is what lets the breakdown and the schedule keep pointing at the same scenes.
Can the crew work in the script too?
Everyone you invite with script access can edit, and changes reach every device as they happen. Who can edit and who can only read follows their role.
What does it cost?
The free plan includes one project with every tool, the script editor included. Filmmaker is $15 a month and Production Company is $40 a month. On every plan, the crew you invite does not pay for a seat.
