Make Film Production Easy With This $50 Software Deal

Every cinematic masterpiece starts with the script, but it certainly doesn't end with one. The final draft is just the beginning for the production crew, who can't make a move with proper breakdowns. And as any production assistant knows, those breakdowns are unglamorous but necessary work.

That's where some good production software can make all the difference, and Filmustage is emerging as one of the best.

There is no shortage of software that can help you set up a shooting schedule or even organize your prop and costume list. Filmustage is one of those rare tools that can not only do all of the above—it can actually break down the script for you. 

Thanks to some intuitive AI, you can simply feed any script into Filmustage and get a complete shooting strategy, down to the most minute details in minutes or even seconds. Cross-reference locations with characters, props, makeup cues, and more, allowing you to avoid conflicts and save precious time.

At a glance, you can see which scenes require certain elements and customize them with tags. The software supports Final Draft, PDF, and other major scripting formats, and you can export into existing production tools like Movie Magic and Gorilla Scheduling. 

PCMag readers can try out a one-year subscription to the Filmustage Award-Winning Unlimited Plan for $49—78% off the $228 MSRP.
