InteScene for Commercial and music video teams
InteScene gives commercial and music video teams a home for the work a screenplay tool has no place for. A spot is written as a two-column A/V script, video description in one column and voiceover, music and SFX cues in the other, with running timecode so you know the read fits the runtime. Those boards cut straight into an animatic with voice and music lanes, clients review it on a read-only link with no account or seat and their notes land grouped by round against numbered versions, and the PPM book assembles from the same project data. Music videos get their own planner built on a timeline against the track. Then the same project runs the shoot, carrying the breakdown, schedule, call sheets, crew and kit. Start free with one spot, or move to Indie at GBP 12 a month (GBP 10 billed annually) for unlimited spots, animatics, client review and PPM books, with a 14-day free trial.

Your spot lives in four places at once: a two-column document in a word processor, an animatic in an edit suite, client feedback across three email threads, and a PPM deck you rebuild by hand the week before the shoot.
A real two-column A/V script
Video and audio sit side by side with running timecode per row, colour-coded sequences, and title, graphic and transition rows where they belong. The board tracks the spot against its target runtime as you write, so you can see how much time is left to fill rather than discovering it in the edit.
Cutdowns that keep their own life
A 60, a 30 and a 6-second bumper live as their own spots rather than as variants buried in one document, each keeping its own timings, review history and approval state. Every spot carries a status through Planned, In edit, Review, Approved and Delivered, so a board of alternates reads at a glance.
Animatics cut from the same boards
Put the frames on a real timeline with per-frame durations and a split at the playhead, add a voice lane for the read-through or your scratch VO, and a music and SFX lane with gain and fades. You prove the 30 seconds actually work before anyone books a crew.
Client rounds without the email chain
The client opens a read-only share link, watches the animatic and leaves notes without a login or a seat, and that feedback arrives in your review drawer grouped by round. Because rounds run against numbered versions, nobody is approving a PDF from two rounds ago.
The PPM book builds itself
Boards, cast, locations, wardrobe and schedule pull into the pre-production meeting book the agency expects, assembled from live project data instead of a week of deck-building. When the schedule moves, the book is not left behind.
Music videos on the track, not on scenes
Promos get a dedicated planner laid out on a timeline against the song itself, with sections and clips timed to the music rather than forced into a scene structure meant for narrative.
One workspace for spots and features
A/V boards, screenplays and music video plans are project types in the same account, sharing the same breakdown, schedule, budget, call sheets and crew tools. A production company running commercials alongside narrative work does not need a second subscription or a second way of working.
Frequently asked questions
Can I write a two-column A/V script in InteScene?
Yes. Commercials and branded content are written on a two-column A/V board: the video column describes what is on screen shot by shot, the audio column carries voiceover, music and SFX cues, and running timecode per row keeps the read matched to the runtime. Sequences are colour-coded, and title, graphic and transition rows sit where they belong rather than being faked with formatting.
Can clients review the spot without an account?
Yes. Clients open a read-only share link, watch the animatic and leave review notes with no login and no seat taken from your plan. Their feedback lands in your review drawer grouped by round, and rounds run against numbered versions so the comments on V3 stay attached to V3. Client review, animatics and numbered versions come with the Indie plan.
What does it cost for a commercials shop?
The A/V planner is on the Free plan at GBP 0 with one spot, so you can write a full two-column script before paying anything. Indie at GBP 12 a month (GBP 10 a month billed annually) unlocks unlimited spots, animatics, client review rounds, numbered versions, PPM books, custom watermarks and unbranded exports, with a 14-day free trial and no card required. Prices are also available in USD, EUR, CAD and AUD.
We shoot commercials and narrative. Do we need two tools?
No. A/V boards, screenplays and music video plans are project types inside the same workspace, and all of them feed the same breakdown, schedule, budget, call sheets and crew tools. The job that starts as a two-column script finishes as a wrap report in the same place a feature would.
