Breakdown¶
The Breakdown screen represents all the Breakdown Sheets in your Schedule. Each Breakdown Sheet usually refers to a single scene or part of your project intended to be filmed. In some cases, a sheet may represent parts of scenes or more than one scene.
Layout¶
- The top row of each Breakdown Sheet includes controls for which Board or Sub-Board is active, moving through the sheets in that Sub-Board, and adding or removing new sheets.
- Below is the Scene Header information which has key built-in Categories of information that Movie Magic Scheduling captures for each sheet.
- Between the Scene Header and the Categories is the Quick Add section and the Add Category control.
- Most of the sheet is taken up by the Categories in your Schedule and the Elements assigned to this Breakdown Sheet.
Breakdown Window¶
More Customization Options¶
- You have the flexibility to remove Empty Categories from the display on the Breakdown screen. To do so, toggle the HIDE EMPTY option.
- If you don't have enough categories for your breakdown, you can create additional ones by clicking the New Category button.
Customization of the Header¶
You can customize the Scene Header:
-
Go to the settings icon on the upper right.
-
Drag and drop the field in the order you wish.
-
Click Save & Close.
Reorder Categories¶
Drag and drop the Categories in the order that you wish.
Images¶
You can view and add images to a scene directly from the Breakdown through the Breakdown / Images split-screen pane.
- Open the split-screen menu (three-line icon, upper right).
- Select Breakdown / Images.
- The image pane shows images attached to the scene on the open Breakdown Sheet. Add, delete, preview, and note images the same way you do on Elements.
Switching sheets updates the image pane automatically.
Images also attach to Elements through the Images Tab on the Edit Element dialog. See Images for how images work across the schedule.
