Does Scriptation work with Cinapse?

Yes! Scriptation works with Cinapse — the real-time scheduling and collaboration tool for film and TV production. By exporting a Breakdown Summary CSV from Scriptation, you can spin up a production schedule in Cinapse in minutes, with every scene's tagged data already in place.

Whether you're an assistant director, production coordinator, or producer, this workflow saves hours of manual data entry and keeps your production workflow smooth and efficient.

Scriptation's Breakdown Summary CSV automatically includes the scene data you'd otherwise enter by hand:

Scene Numbers and Descriptions
Set Names
Interior/Exterior Labels
Story Days
Scene Page Counts
Day/Night Labels
Cast/Character Names
All of your other tagged categories

📝 NOTE: Tagging is an Industry Pro feature.

⚠️ HEADS UP: You'll see a Cinapse option in Scriptation's Tagging Reports popover. That option exports a Scriptation JSON file in preparation for a direct integration — but Cinapse's importer doesn't yet accept it. Until Cinapse updates their importer, use the Breakdown Summary CSV path below.

Exporting a Breakdown Summary CSV from Scriptation

On your Mac or iOS device, open your tagged script in Scriptation;
Open the Tagging tool and tap Reports;
Choose the CSV under Breakdown Summary;
Name the report and tap Save;
Choose where to save the file. The Breakdown Summary CSV can be saved anywhere using the native Share menu.

For more on the different Tagging exports, see Creating Tagging Exports: Breakdown Summary, Element Report, & Category Report.

Importing the Breakdown Summary into Cinapse

In your Cinapse project, open the Scriptation Importer;
Upload the Breakdown Summary CSV file you just exported from Scriptation;
Confirm the import to bring your script and breakdown data into Cinapse. Your scenes will appear with cast, props, locations, and any other tagged elements ready to schedule.

For Cinapse's own walkthrough on importing from Scriptation, see their guide: Scriptation Importer.

Updating Cinapse with New Script Revisions

When you receive a new script revision:

Open the new script draft in Scriptation;
Use the Transfer feature to migrate annotations from the previous draft to the new one;
Once you've reviewed and finalized any tagging updates, export a fresh Breakdown Summary CSV using the steps above;
Re-import the updated CSV into your Cinapse project.

✅ TIP: Keep an eye on Cinapse's Scriptation Importer guide for any updates to their import flow.
