Production PlanOpen a cast member and record contact and availability
Keep a photo, private contact details and the dates an actor can work.
Before you start
- At least one actor is in the cast list.
Steps
Control-click a person in the list.
The menu offers Open, Assign Character…, Archive and Delete…. Assign Character… changes or adds the character they play.
Choose Open, or click the row.
The inspector is headed CAST MEMBER with the person's name. It has Add Photo, the Character with a Primary label and Assign Character…, Person name, Contact, Availability notes, Availability and an Archive button. Contact is private: visible to Owners and Editors only, never shared with OpenFrame AI or put in exports.
Type in Availability notes anything the dates cannot say, such as Free Jun 9 to 20, weekends only.
Under Availability, choose Not available, or another type, set First day and Last day, and click Add Dates. The list says No dates entered until you add one.
What you get
The cast member carries a contact, notes and availability dates.
Watch out for
- Availability dates are advice. The schedule warns about them and never moves a scene.
