How does your studio keep scripts and budgets locked down across several productions?

Hi all, Nick from Storiara here. We build pre-production software for film and TV: upload a script and it breaks it into scenes, cast, locations, props and wardrobe, and you build the stripboard schedule, the budget and the call sheets from that one breakdown.

Today we launched Storiara Studio, a plan for studios and production companies that run more than one production at a time. It adds a private workspace with your own branding, sign-in through your company account, two-step sign-in for every user, and a log of who viewed, printed or exported what. Scripts are never used to train AI. It also keeps Movie Magic compatibility, so you can import a Movie Magic Budgeting or Scheduling file, work on it in Storiara, and export it back.

I’d like to hear how this works at your company today, because I suspect it varies a lot.

If you run several productions, where do the scripts, budgets and schedules actually live? A shared drive, a desktop scheduling app, each production’s own set of tools? And at what point does that stop working?

If your security or legal team reviews production software, what do they ask for first? We built the audit log and two-step sign-in because they came up as basics. I’m less sure about SAML, SCIM or data retention controls, and I’d rather know whether those are required or just nice to have.

And if your deliverables are Movie Magic files, which reports do you still need to match exactly? Budget topsheet, one-liner, Day Out of Days? I’d like to know which ones people check line by line before they trust a new tool.

I’ll read every reply today and answer what I can. If you want to try it, the free trial is 7 days at storiara.com, and Studio pricing is custom, so just contact us.
