Original release notes

This is the biggest update we've ever shipped: two new production tools and a rebuilt script editor.

SCRIPT BREAKDOWN
Mark up your script the way you would with colored pencils on paper. Select a word, tag it as a prop, wardrobe, a vehicle, or any of the twelve standard categories, and it lands in your breakdown as an element. CineLog picks up speaking characters on its own. Tag a character and they become cast: they flow into your shot list, your schedule, and the cast grid on your call sheets. The breakdown has a layout built for your phone, and breakdown sheets export as PDF.

SCHEDULE
The stripboard is here! Build shooting days, drag scene strips between them, and reorder your day the way ADs have done it for decades. Split a scene into parts and shoot them on different days. Cast and locations sit right on the strips, a finished day flows straight into its call sheet, and the whole board exports as a PDF.

SCRIPT LOCK AND REVISIONS
When you move into production, lock your script. Locked pages keep their numbers, new material goes to A-pages, revised lines get stars, and every revision round gets its own page color. Omit a scene without renumbering everything after it.

THE EDITOR SHOWS REAL PAGES
We rebuilt the editor's layout engine from scratch. You write on true US Letter pages with industry-standard margins, and the page break you see is the page break in your PDF. Long action and dialogue split across pages with (MORE) and (CONT'D). The title page is editable right in the editor. And the script editor now works on your phone, with page breaks and a title page made for the small screen.

IMPORT REVIEW
When you import a Fountain or Final Draft file into an existing project, CineLog shows you every change first. You pick what comes in and apply. If your script is locked, anything touching locked pages waits for your decision.

ALSO IN THIS UPDATE
- The PDF you export matches the editor page for page.
- Create custom crew roles for your workspace.
- Locations are saved per project, with address, parking, and nearest hospital.
- Pick the date format CineLog uses.

Plus bug fixes and performance improvements throughout the app.
