Day Breaks

Day Breaks divide your Strips into working days, relying on the Start Date for the current Segment as defined in the Calendar Tab (go to Calendar for more). Day Breaks are unique to one specific Stripboard. They're not shared across all Stripboards in your Schedule. Day Breaks show:

  • The day number (based on the number of Day Breaks in the current Segment).
  • The date of that day.
  • The total Page Count and Estimated Time (Shoot Time) for all the Strips in the day (above the Day Break).

Important: Day Breaks can be moved, deleted, and used in any Segment or the Boneyard, just like Strips.

Add a Day Break

To add a Day Break to your Segment:

  1. Select a Strip in your current Segment.
  2. Click the + DAY BREAK option in the menu at the top of the Stripboard.
  3. The new Day Break will display below the selected Strip.

Bulk Add/Change Day Breaks

To automatically add or change multiple Day Breaks to your current Segment:

  1. Click the DOWN ARROW next to + DAY BREAK option in the menu at the top of the Stripboard.
  2. Select an option: Insert by pg 8ths, Insert by shoot time, Insert by screen time, or Remove all day breaks.
  3. Enter the value for the MAX pg 8ths, shoot time duration, or screen time duration you want each day to contain (if applicable).
  4. Click APPLY. Current Day Breaks will be removed from the Segment, and if inserted, new ones will be added. Each day will include only Strips/banners up to the defined max. If a single Strip has a value larger than the expected max, it will be in its own day.
