Production scheduling. Budgeting. Call sheets. One app.
The familiar Movie Magic workflow you know — modernized, affordable, and built for teams.
No credit card required. Individual plans from $19/mo.
MMB 10 is buggy, missing features from v7, and EP killed legacy support in 2025.
Passing .mbb files on USB drives in 2026? Your 1st AD can't even see the schedule without buying their own license.
Modern tools changed the workflow. But your crew doesn't want to relearn everything — they want Movie Magic that actually works.
Full stripboard with MMS-identical one-liner layout. Color-coded strips, day breaks, company moves, DOOD, calendar — everything you're used to.
MMB-identical workflow: T/A/D navigation, globals, fringes (FICA, Medicare, SUI, IATSE), fringe ranges, print setup. Your budget NEVER leaves your device.
Industry-standard format with all sections: schedule, talent, extras, department notes, locations, crew list, advanced schedule. PDF export.
Studios are using 20-year-old software because they don't trust budget data in the cloud. We get it. Greenlight's budget module is local-only by design — your financial data never touches our servers. Schedule and call sheets sync with your team. Budget stays with you.
Role-based access control means everyone gets what they need, nothing more.
