Project sidebar
The project sidebar groups the areas of a project in the order a production uses them. Click the project name at the top to go to the project's overview.

|---|---|---|

| Plan | Shots, Storyboards, Whiteboards, Schedule, Shooting days, Day out of days, Resources, Locations, Budget | Plan coverage, schedule the shoot, and manage locations, resources, and costs. See Intro to shots, storyboards, and whiteboards and Intro to scheduling and production. |
| On Set | On Set, Footage | Log takes while you shoot and work with the recorded footage. See Intro to On Set. |
