How to Import Files into EP Scheduling

Designed as a time-saving tool, EP Scheduling software takes the drudge work out of breaking down a script for production. With one entry session you can format and save all of the production forms for those inevitable revisions. Tagging breaks out cast, props, vehicles, special make-up and costume, special effects and other elements that allows filmmakers to efficiently organize their shoot.

Instructions

    • 1

      Tag your screenplay in the Movie Magic or Final Draft Tagger program. You must do this before you can import the script into EP Scheduling.

    • 2

      Save your tagged file and close the Movie Maker or Final Draft program. EP Scheduling works independently.

    • 3

      Open EP Scheduling. Then, open the Schedule file window by first selecting "File" from the drop down toolbar menu, then clicking "Open Schedule." Locate the Movie Maker or Final Draft file you tagged. Click Open. EP Scheduling converts the imported file into its working format with the default name "Untitled."

    • 4

      Return to "File," click on "Save As" and give the Untitled file a new name relevant to your original script. This becomes the working script for EP Scheduling and preserves the original screenplay as the master. You're now ready to begin your breakdown.
