What's new in Yamdu

Call sheets get a third industry design: the classic industry standard layout known from US productions, with a dedicated crew page, a boxed general crew call, department notes and the familiar cast columns from SWF to set call.

The industry standard designs now fill Shoot Day X of Y and the shooting call from your data, and the three-column header and the general crew call can appear more than once, for example to repeat the header on the crew page.

Your call sheet can now carry everything the crew needs. The locations element shows a logistics row for crew parking, basecamp, catering and the nearest hospital, and the weather adds chance of rain, wind, gusts and feels-like temperatures. Extras can be listed in several blocks with type, quantity, report-to and totals, and department instructions take your own rows and texts.

The advance schedule header shows the shooting day, the date and the estimated call, and identical locations of consecutive scenes can be merged into one cell. Each department can have its own walkie channel. In the crew list with calls you place departments in columns, merge identical positions and show quantities only for people on set. You choose which events appear, and the new gear button opens the settings of any element directly.

Set or shift the calls of whole departments, units or selected people in one step with the new Edit calls window. No more changing times person by person.

Calls also follow the conventions your crew knows: write a call as text only, such as O/C or Per PH, show cast times as W/N, S/D or N/R, and use the short time format 10:00A and 08:00P. The calls element gets optional columns for quantity and leave time and can list meals with quantity and ready time. And if you print in the US, Legal is now available as a page size.
