Choose the screenplay draft production is based on, then tag what each scene needs. Suggestions help, and you accept or reject every one.
The Breakdown suggests elements it finds in the scene text. You review them in one list, edit what is close, and accept or reject the rest.
Tagged items gather in the Catalog: props, equipment, wardrobe, vehicles, effects, VFX, sound and animals. Open any item to see every scene it appears in.
When the source script changes, affected scenes are marked Needs Review, with the changes listed, so the breakdown never quietly goes stale.
