New Movie Magic Scheduling: The Most Trusted Film & TV Scheduling Tool, Reimagined

The entertainment industry’s most trusted production scheduling software just got an upgrade. Introducing New Movie Magic Scheduling, the next generation of the iconic tool that has empowered UPMs, ADs, and Indie producers for over 20 years.

Built on the legacy of its predecessor, Movie Magic Scheduling 6 (MMS6), New Movie Magic Scheduling delivers the features professionals rely on with a modern, intuitive design to streamline the complex process of coordinating film and TV schedules.

With its enhanced usability, New Movie Magic Scheduling makes production planning faster and easier than ever before, allowing users to focus on what matters most – keeping projects on time and on budget. From early adopters to long-time users, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive:

“Everything about this software is outstanding! Movie Magic Scheduling is my go-to digital solution for creating all production schedules.” 

Building on their long-term preference for MMS, loyal users applaud the newest release, finding it “a significant improvement from MMS6.” 

What’s better about New Movie Magic Scheduling? 

At Entertainment Partners, the needs of our clients are at the core of everything we do. To reimagine and enhance Movie Magic Scheduling, we worked with 1st and 2nd Assistant Directors, Line Producers and Unit Production Managers to solve for the challenges and changing demands of creating, optimizing, and tracking production schedules. The results are game-changing.

1. A modern design for seamless productivity

The upgraded interface in New Movie Magic Scheduling is designed for efficiency, letting you navigate and build schedules with fewer clicks and greater ease. The intuitive layout, including side-by-side split screen views, ensures that creating and managing schedules feels effortless, allowing you to stay productive and get more done in less time.

2. Innovative features to simplify scheduling

New Movie Magic Scheduling introduces powerful new tools that redefine what’s possible in production scheduling:

• Sub-board: Whether you’re block shooting across episodes or coordinating multiple filming units simultaneously, create detailed, precise schedules—all within a single schedule. One early adopter raves: 

I love the new sub-board feature. I no longer have to keep track of two separate stripboards to manage the second unit.”

• Conflict management: The enhanced conflict detection tool builds on MMS6’s “red flags” feature, offering automated alerts that make scheduling issues impossible to overlook.  Spot and resolve problems faster, keeping your production on track.

• Episode Field: A designated space for episode numbers streamlines data integrity and simplifies the organization of episodic projects.

• Event Scheduling: Schedule non-breakdown events like holidays, fittings and read-throughs, giving you a holistic view of your production timeline and any potential disruptions.

3. Familiar features, enhanced for modern productions

New Movie Magic Scheduling combines the best features of MMS6 with innovative tools like hotkeys and other efficiency enhancements.

For example, a tighter integration with Movie Magic Budgeting allows you to seamlessly transfer elements, like Background Actors and their associated quantities, saving you time and ensuring accurate forecasting.

Blending familiarity with innovation, New Movie Magic Scheduling delivers an unparalleled scheduling experience.
