Production Slate
Production Slate is production management software for budgets, schedules, crew, call sheets, and read receipts. It is aimed at line producers, production managers, assistant directors, and small production companies working on films, shorts, music videos, commercials, branded content, web series, or TV. Users can import FDX scripts, read them in the app, and highlight text to tag props, wardrobe, and set dressing. Scheduling includes movable scene strips, labor cost calculations, crew and location assignments, and day-out-of-days reports. Call sheets can gather crew, cast, scenes, weather, sunrise and sunset, and nearest hospital information. Organizations can share projects and assign Owner, Editor, or Viewer access at page level. The Pro plan supports Excel, CSV, and Movie Magic Budget import and export; budgets can also be exported as PDFs. Production Slate is available on Android, iOS, and web. The Free plan has project, budget, crew, shoot-day, and call-sheet limits. Pro costs $12 a month, or $99/year.
