Does Scriptation work with Cinapse?

Yes! We've partnered with Cinapse — the real-time scheduling and collaboration tool for film and TV production — to create an integration that allows you to seamlessly transfer your marked-up scripts and breakdown information from Scriptation directly into Cinapse. Starting your production schedule has never been easier!


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


This integration automatically exports all the scene data you would normally spend manually entering:


  • Scene Numbers and Descriptions
  • Set Names
  • Interior/Exterior Labels
  • Story Days
  • Scene Page Counts
  • Day/Night Labels
  • Cast/Character Names


In addition to the above scene data, this integration also exports all of your other tagging categories with their matching colors, allowing you to quickly build shooting schedules with department-specific needs for each scene!


📝 NOTE: Tagging is an Industry Pro feature.
