Cast and crewOpen a cast member and edit their details
Keep a person's photo, contact, availability notes and notes up to date, and see which scenes they are in.
Before you start
- The Cast list has at least one person.
Steps
Click a person's row. Their drawer opens on the right.
It is headed CAST MEMBER and the name. The row you opened is highlighted in the table.
Click Add Photo (or Change Photo) and choose a picture. Use the small x beside the photo to remove it.
The photo shows as a round picture in the drawer and in the table. Until you add one a plain portrait symbol is used.
Edit Person name *, Contact, Availability notes and Notes.
Fields save when you click out of them or press Enter. Contact is private: visible to Owners and Editors only, and never shared with OpenFrame AI or put in exports. Availability notes is for anything the dates cannot say, for example Free Jun 9 to 20, weekends only. Notes is free text for you.
Read Character, and scroll down to Scenes.
Character shows the name with a Primary or Alternate label. Scenes lists every scene in the Production Source that has the character, as small labels. Click a label to open that scene in the Breakdown.
What you get
The person's details are saved and you can jump to their scenes.
Watch out for
- Person name cannot be left empty. The old name comes back if you clear it.
- If your role cannot see contacts, the Contact line says Contact details are hidden for your role, and the table shows Hidden.
