Question 1

What is InteScene?

Accepted Answer

InteScene is an all-in-one production management platform for film and television. It brings screenwriting, scheduling, budgeting, AI breakdowns, call sheets, storyboarding, and crew management into one workspace where everything connects, replacing the scattered spreadsheets and disconnected tools that productions typically rely on.

Question 2

Who is InteScene for?

Accepted Answer

InteScene is designed for anyone involved in film and TV production, from indie filmmakers working on micro-budget shorts to large studio teams managing multi-season series. Whether you're a writer, producer, director, AD, or production coordinator, InteScene adapts to your workflow.

Question 3

What makes InteScene different from other production tools?

Accepted Answer

Most production workflows rely on a patchwork of spreadsheets, shared drives, and separate apps that don't talk to each other. InteScene replaces all of that with a unified platform where your script, schedule, budget, crew database, and AI tools are all connected. Changes in one area automatically flow through to the rest of your production.

Question 4

Who makes InteScene, and why?

Accepted Answer

InteScene is made by filmmakers, for filmmakers. It was built by a filmmaker who needed a better way to run their own indie productions, replacing a dozen disconnected tools and endless re-typing with one connected workspace. Those films got made, and InteScene is that same system opened up to everyone, from solo indie directors to major studios. The idea is simple: put professional production tools and better workflows into everyone's hands.

Question 5

Is InteScene a web app or a desktop application?

Accepted Answer

InteScene is a modern web application that works across desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers. There's nothing to download or install - just sign in and start working. It includes dark mode and touch-friendly interfaces optimised for every screen size.

Question 6

Does InteScene generate call sheets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. InteScene auto-generates professionally formatted call sheets from your schedule, complete with custom crew calls, weather, and safety notes. You can share them with cast and crew by email in one click, so the data on every call sheet stays in sync with your shoot.

Question 7

Can InteScene help schedule a film or TV shoot?

Accepted Answer

Yes. InteScene builds shooting schedules using a drag-and-drop coloured stripboard or a Kanban view with live page counts. Its AI can generate a baseline schedule that respects cast availability and scene logistics, which you then fine-tune by hand.

Question 8

How much does InteScene cost?

Accepted Answer

InteScene offers four plans: Free (£0/mo with 1 project and 25 AI credits), Indie (£12/mo with 3 projects and 100 AI credits), Production (£20/mo with 20 projects and 500 AI credits), and Studio (£25/mo with unlimited projects, advanced permissions, 10 collaborators, and 1,000 AI credits). All prices are in GBP, and every paid plan comes with a 14-day free trial.

Question 9

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The Free plan gives you 1 project with the script editor, AI breakdown, index cards, storyboards, shot lists, planning board, and basic tasks, plus 25 AI credits per month. It's a great way to explore InteScene at your own pace with no time limit.

Question 10

Do you offer annual billing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Annual billing saves you up to 17% compared to monthly billing. For example, the Indie plan drops from £12/mo to £10/mo, the Production plan from £20/mo to £17/mo, and the Studio plan from £25/mo to £21/mo when billed annually.

Question 11

Do I need a credit card to sign up?

Accepted Answer

No. You can sign up and start using InteScene on the Free plan without a credit card, and paid plans come with a 14-day free trial so you can try everything before committing.

Question 12

What AI features does InteScene offer?

Accepted Answer

InteScene features AI-powered automated script breakdowns, deep script analysis that understands narrative themes and character arcs, AI storyboarding that turns your scenes into visual sequences, and smart scheduling support that suggests optimised shooting orders. All AI tools are connected to your entire production database.

Question 13

What are AI credits and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

AI credits are used each time you perform an AI-powered action, like generating a script breakdown, creating a storyboard, or running a script analysis. Each plan includes a monthly allocation of credits (25 on Free, up to 1,000 on Studio). Credits reset at the start of each billing cycle.

Question 14

What script formats can I import?

Accepted Answer

InteScene supports importing scripts in Fountain (.fountain) and Final Draft (.fdx) formats. You can also export your scripts back to these formats at any time, so you're never locked in.

Question 15

Can InteScene generate storyboards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. InteScene generates storyboard frames for your shots with AI, and you can upload reference images to guide character likeness and visual style. Shot lists can also be generated from your scene text, with suggested shot sizes, angles, movements, and gear.

Question 16

What is a script breakdown?

Accepted Answer

A script breakdown is the process of reading a screenplay and tagging every production element in each scene, such as cast, props, wardrobe, vehicles, and effects, so each department can plan, schedule, and budget. InteScene generates breakdowns automatically with AI in minutes instead of days.

Question 17

Does InteScene automatically break down a script?

Accepted Answer

Yes. InteScene's AI reads each scene and extracts every character, prop, vehicle, wardrobe item, special effect, visual effect, and extra, then enriches them with details like quantities and descriptions and merges duplicates. A breakdown that normally takes days is ready in minutes for you to review.

Question 18

Is InteScene an alternative to StudioBinder or Movie Magic?

Accepted Answer

Yes. InteScene covers the same core production-management needs as tools like StudioBinder and Movie Magic, including script breakdowns, scheduling, call sheets, and budgeting, and adds AI-assisted breakdowns, AI storyboarding, and a built-in screenwriting editor. Because every module shares one database, a change to the script or schedule updates the rest of your production automatically.

Question 19

Can InteScene replace Final Draft for screenwriting?

Accepted Answer

InteScene includes a professional script editor that writes in industry-standard format with automatic pagination, colour-coded revisions, and dual dialogue, and it imports and exports Final Draft (.fdx) and Fountain (.fountain) files. You can write directly in InteScene, or import an existing Final Draft script and run breakdowns, scheduling, and budgeting around it.

Question 20

Is there a free film production management tool?

Accepted Answer

Yes. InteScene's Free plan costs GBP 0 per month with no credit card and no time limit. It includes one project with the script editor, AI breakdown, index cards, storyboards, shot lists, and a planning board, plus 25 AI credits a month.

Question 21

How does collaboration work?

Accepted Answer

InteScene supports real-time collaborative editing across your production. Depending on your plan, you can invite 2 to 10 collaborators to work together on scripts, schedules, and other production documents simultaneously.

Question 22

How does sharing work?

Accepted Answer

You can share production materials via secure, expiring read-only links, perfect for sending call sheets or schedules to crew members who don't need a full account. You control who sees what and for how long.

Question 23

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. InteScene uses industry-standard encryption for data in transit and at rest. Your production data is stored securely and is never shared with third parties. We take the security of your creative work seriously.
