How to print the shooting schedule

Storiara prints the schedule through your browser's print dialog, so "print to PDF" means choosing Save as PDF there. For a file to send rather than a page to print, the toolbar's Export menu is the better route.

What prints

The printout is titled Production Schedule, with the story title and today's date. Each shoot day gets its own block, headed like "DAY 3: Wednesday, Oct 08, 2026", and a table with these columns:

Breaks print as their own rows, such as "Lunch (30m)". The page is US Letter, portrait, with half-inch margins. The layout is a day-by-day shooting schedule with full scene descriptions, so it runs longer than a one-line schedule.

Steps

1. Open Schedule and select Stripboard in the tabs under the header.
2. Click the printer icon. In the print dialog, choose your printer, or choose Save as PDF.
3. For the cast grid instead, switch to Day Out of Days first. The printer icon then prints that grid in landscape.

Or export a file

Export in the board toolbar writes files rather than printing pages:

Printed schedules and the PDF exports use the traditional white, yellow, blue, and green strip colours, whatever Colour by is set to on screen. Subscribe gives a calendar feed of the shoot days instead of a file.

Before you print

Walk the board once. A strip placed on the wrong day prints on the wrong day. Check that each scene is linked to a location on the Locations page, otherwise the Location column says TBD, which is the question the 2nd AD will get all morning. And if you changed dates recently, confirm nothing dropped off in the update.

If it doesn't work

• The printout says "No items scheduled" when nothing is on the stripboard yet. See how to build a stripboard.
• Location shows TBD for a scene you know is booked: edit the location and add that scene under Scenes.
• If only one day prints or pages cut off, check the print dialog's page range and scaling settings.

The Schedule guide covers the board itself.
