Shooting schedule

Turn on strict validation and use Keep Anyway

Make the schedule ask before it keeps a change that creates a new warning.

Advanced3 stepsWindows

Before you start

  • A shooting schedule exists.

Steps

  1. Open Schedule settings, tick Strict validation: ask before keeping a change that creates a warning, and click Save.

    A note under the checkbox says: Warnings never block you by default. With strict validation, a change that creates a new warning needs an explicit “Keep Anyway”.

  2. Look at the toolbar.

    A purple Strict validation chip sits beside the warnings chip while the setting is on.

  3. Move a scene so that it creates a warning, for example onto a day with a missing location.

    The dialog This change creates a schedule warning names the problem, here Scene 14 on Shoot Day 5 is missing location information, and says: Strict validation is on for this schedule. Nothing was changed yet; the choice is yours. Click Keep Anyway to make the move, or Change the schedule instead to leave things as they were.

What you get

Changes that would add a warning wait for your say before they are kept.

Watch out for

  • Strict validation never blocks you for good. Keep Anyway always lets the change through.
  • Untick the box in Schedule settings to go back to the default, where warnings are shown but never ask.
