FILM

From script to handoff, one project.

Don't let the writers' room, storyboard and production plan scatter across separate files. The page is written here, the frame is drawn here, the work is tracked here.

Write it like a page, pour the scene into a storyboard.

The Script window, piece by piece.

Scroll and it falls into place.

Writers work on one page with live cursors.

1Script

Write in the industry's format.

Scene heading, character, dialogue and transition fall into place. Page, scene and word counts sit at the bottom, and cursors show who's writing where.

Final Draft, Fountain, Word or PDF come in; PDF, FDX, Fountain and Word go out.

2Note

The note becomes a task.

Put a note on a line and give it to someone. The note becomes a task in Pipeline, gets answered in the bubble on the line, and the approval comes to you when it's done.

3Storyboard

Tie a frame to a line.

A drawing can be tied to every line, and the Storyboard tab lays the frames out in script order. One click exports the lot as a PDF.

4Pipeline

Follow the production stage by stage.

Idea, Pre-production, Development, Polish, Handoff: pick the stages and set dates. Each stage's board shows which job is with whom.

How a scene moves along

From writing to handoff, no note gets lost in a message history.

Your programs stay the same.

Devchaos doesn't replace your program, it stands beside it. Whichever one is open shows on your Studio card; there are 50 programs on the list, and you can add yours if it's missing.

Questions

Can I open my Final Draft file?

Yes. Final Draft, Fountain, Word, PDF and plain text come in; PDF, FDX, Fountain and Word go out.

Can we set our own pipeline stages?

Yes. You pick ready-made stage names such as Idea, Pre-production, Development, Polish and Handoff, put them in order, and give each an icon and a date. You can save the set as a template and use it in another project.

Is there voice chat?

Not yet, it's coming soon. Voice rooms and camera are on the way. For now you use the room's text chat during a screen share.

Where do our files live?

You choose from three places: the Devchaos server (2 GB per project), a computer left on at the office, or your own cloud storage (such as Cloudflare R2, Amazon S3 or Backblaze).
