The connected craft studio for filmmakers

Idea to shooting script
— together.

One studio for scripts, workboards, lighting plans, and the people making the film. Open a workspace. Write the script. Plan the shots. Export when it locks.

Scriptwriting

The page on screen is the page in production.

A4 pagination, slug lines, dialogue, and transitions in the format that prints to camera. Snapshots are content-addressed and SHA-256 deduped. Export to PDF, Final Draft, Fountain, or DOCX.

What it is

The whole craft, under one roof.

Most filmmakers stitch four tools together — and lose the script in the seams.

CineNote is one workspace where three studios — scriptwriting, workboard, and lighting — stay connected from the first idea to the locked page.

01
Revisions

Content-addressed and SHA-256 deduped — pin a draft, restore any version.

02
Permissions

Six roles and 23 permissions, enforced at the gateway, the service, and the row.

03
Exports

PDF, Final Draft, Fountain, and DOCX — the breaks and the typeface travel.

What's inside

Three studios. One workspace.

Scriptwriting
Write the way the industry reads.

A Quill-powered screenplay editor with scene headings, dialogue, and transitions across eight block types. A4 pagination, find-and-replace, dual dialogue, and export to PDF, Final Draft, Fountain, or DOCX.

See scriptwriting
Workboard
Beats, boards, and characters on one infinite canvas.

Twenty-three widget types — notes, locations, camera shots, shot lists, lighting diagrams, and script links — checkpointed by SHA-256 checksum so nothing is ever lost.

See workboard
Light Studio
Plan the light before you plan the day.

Fixture-aware lighting plans with circuits, a shoot-day schedule, and per-circuit power loads. Read-only share links for the gaffer; optimistic concurrency so two heads work the same plan.

Workspace · Foundation
The home that holds the crew.

Not a tool you open — the place every script, board, and lighting plan lives. Six roles, 23 permissions, SHA-256 hashed invites, and a full audit trail wrapped around all three studios.

How the work connects

Idea, to script, to lock.

Nothing here is a hand-off. Each step carries the last one forward — the beat becomes a scene, the scene keeps its references, the shot ties to a fixture, and the lock travels straight into the export.

    Workboard

    Shape the beats, characters, and locations on the canvas — the film before the words.

    MARA
    We agreed on the third floor.

    Promote a beat into a scene. The screenplay remembers where it came from.

    Board

    Workboard

    Pin references and shots to the slug line. Board and page stay in sync.

    Light Studio

    Tie a fixture to the moment. Plan the rig alongside the line.
