Syncing SetDots
SetDots Production Cloud
Run your shoot day live — not from a binder.
SetDots replaces walkie chatter, group texts, and paper call sheets with one real-time command center your whole crew carries in their pocket.
- Every department sees what's shooting now, what's next, and who's ready — the second it changes.
- Call sheets build themselves from your schedule, with weather and per-person call times. Crew scan a QR code.
-
One chat for the whole set, with
@alertcommands that flash every phone when it matters.
No install. Works on any phone, tablet, or laptop. Plans from $19/month — cancel anytime.
Built for the way sets actually run
Live shoot dashboard
Now/next scene tracking with estimated vs. actual timing, so schedule slips show up while you can still fix them — not at wrap.
Scene & shot management
Drag-and-drop shot lists the 1st AD can reorder and lock. Every change reaches every phone instantly.
Crew chat & alerts
Channel-based messaging with replies, pins, and admin commands. An
@alert pushes a flashing banner to every device on set.
One-tap call sheets
Generated from your schedule with weather, maps, and per-person call times. Crew open theirs with a QR code — no PDFs lost in email.
Schedule import
Bring in your stripboard from StudioBinder, CSV, or XML — even from a PDF or a photo. Prep in minutes, not evenings.
Safety & compliance
Incident logging with severity and acknowledgements, plus Exhibit G time cards tied to each shoot day.
