“Pre-production software” is a baggy phrase. Some of it is scheduling and call sheets. Some of it is the pictures everyone argues about before those call sheets exist. CineoBoard is the second kind.
What we cover
- Script import (Fountain, Final Draft, Word)
- Storyboards with reusable elements
- Shot lists synced to frames
- Animatics
- Client review links
- Slack / Microsoft Teams notices, API / CLI for agent tools
- Offline drawing in Reframe
What we do not cover
Call sheets, stripboards, union extras, budget. Use StudioBinder, Yamdu or Movie Magic beside us. Honest split: vs StudioBinder, vs Studiovity.
Why the split is useful
A suite that does eight jobs does each of them halfway. A board that is “a module” is the first thing that drifts. If the artefact your client signs is the pictures, put the pictures in a tool that treats them as the source of truth.
FAQ
Is CineoBoard enough for a whole feature’s pre-production?
It is enough for boarding, review and the shot list. You will still want a scheduling tool for the day. Many crews run both.
