Script & Breakdown
A new scene profile with all its shots
Scenes get a new profile window, just like shots and content items, with a Shots tab that lists every shot of the scene and gives the list room to breathe.
Elements in scene, shot and content item profiles are now clickable and open their own profile. AI breakdown suggestions can be accepted all at once, and the project dashboard now also lists changes to shots and content items.

Script & Breakdown
Shots and storyboard, rebuilt and in one place
Shots, Storyboard and AV Script now live under one navigation entry with brand-new lists: a shots list and a storyboard view with edit mode, collapse and expand, and a Last updated column.
Drop a stack of pictures into the list and Yamdu creates one shot or content item per picture, sorted by file number and named after the file. Discuss shots in a comment overview like the one in Time cards, track runtime, cues and source with rundown fields and a calculated start timecode, and open the screenplay right from the scene menu to show and tag a scene.

Script import: revision colors and password-protected PDFs
When you import a new script revision, Yamdu now asks for the revision color and a version name right in the import wizard. Import your revisions in order and each one keeps its own color, from White to Blue, Pink, Yellow and Green.
Password-protected PDFs are no longer a dead end either. Files that only block copying are unlocked automatically, and if a script needs a password to open, Yamdu simply asks you for it.

Watermarks for scripts and treatments
Keep your script under control. Projects with watermarking can now show a personal watermark for each user on the script and treatment views.
A new option under Project settings > Export & Watermarks also adds watermarks to script-related PDF exports such as short treatments.
Script & Breakdown
Faster script imports
Re-importing a revision? Select several scenes and set them to Ignore or Create in one go. The PDF import also handles scripts with unusual indentation, so action lines and dialogue land where they belong.
Scanned PDFs with a poor text layer and files without scene headings now get a clear hint instead of a garbled or empty preview. You can also create sides for individual script days and edit scene information again in the Show and tag the screenplay window.

A new home for your content items
Content items now have the same powerful lists as the rest of Yamdu. Switch between table and card view, show any profile field as a column, rearrange items by drag and drop and update images right in the list.
Each content item also gets a new profile window with tasks and subtasks, and a runlist PDF export lets you choose orientation, colors and columns, including images. When you create a new item, its ID and aspect ratio are already filled in for you.
