Filmara vs StudioBinder

StudioBinder runs a production: script breakdowns, shooting schedules, shot lists, storyboards, lookbooks and call sheets, with a screenplay editor at the start of it.

Filmara is the creative side before the shoot. The screenplay, its characters and places, and a storyboard rendered from the script live in one project, so you can see the film before you plan it.

If you are scheduling a shoot and sending call sheets, StudioBinder is built for that, and Filmara does not do it. If you are still finding the film, Filmara is built for that.

Side by side

Choose StudioBinder if

• You are producing a shoot and need breakdowns, schedules and call sheets.
• Your team works with colour-coded revisions.
• You run several productions, with their crews and contacts, in one place.

Choose Filmara if

• You are writing the film and want to see it before you plan the shoot.
• You want a storyboard rendered from your script, with your cast and places in every shot.
• You would rather start free and pay $7 a month than $29.

Switching

Filmara opens Fountain files (.fountain or .txt). Bring the screenplay across as Fountain, converting it if you need to in an app that reads both, such as WriterDuet, and open it in Filmara.

Schedules, breakdowns and call sheets have no equivalent in Filmara, so they stay where they are. The two can sit side by side: the film in Filmara, the shoot in StudioBinder.
