AI Dude works with your existing schedule structure.
Before applying structural changes, it shows a preview when required.
What you can change
Use AI Dude when you need to:
Move scenes to another shooting day.
Reorder scenes within a day.
Redistribute scenes across multiple days.
Group scenes by location or cast.
Optimize shooting order.
Analyze potential scheduling conflicts.
Move scenes between shooting days
You can relocate individual or multiple scenes directly from chat.
Example prompts (JOKER)
“Move the subway shooting scene to Day 5.”
“Put all scenes in the Murray Franklin Studio on the same day.”
“Move every night exterior scene to the last shooting day.”
Example result
AI Dude:
Identifies matching scenes (e.g., SUBWAY – NIGHT, Murray Franklin Studio scenes).
Shows which day they are currently scheduled on.
Proposes a new day assignment.
Displays a preview if multiple scenes are affected.
After confirmation, the App updates the Stripboard.
Reorder scenes within a day
You can change scene order without affecting other shooting days.
Example prompts (JOKER)
“Move the subway scene before the bathroom dance scene.”
“Sort today’s scenes by location.”
“Place all apartment interiors first.”
Example result
AI Dude:
Retrieves scenes scheduled on the selected day
Reorders only that day.
Preserves day breaks and metadata.
Shows a preview if the change impacts multiple strips.
Redistribute shooting days
You can restructure the schedule more broadly.
Example prompts (JOKER)
“Balance the schedule across 20 shooting days.”
“Group scenes by location to reduce company moves.”
“Spread heavy stunt scenes evenly across the week.”
Example result
AI Dude:
Analyzes scene length, location, and existing structure.
Proposes a revised distribution.
Explains what will change.
Requests confirmation before applying structural changes.
Analyze schedule conflicts
AI Dude can review your schedule before you commit to changes.
Example prompts (JOKER)
“Do we have cast conflicts for Arthur this week?”
“Are any days overloaded with long scenes?”
“Show potential location conflicts.”
Example result
AI Dude:
Reviews cast and scene assignments.
Identifies potential overloads or conflicts.
Returns structured feedback.
Does not modify the schedule unless you explicitly request it.
Preview and confirmation
For structural changes, AI Dude may:
Show a preview of the proposed changes.
Ask for confirmation before applying updates.
Explain what will be modified.
The App applies schedule changes only after confirmation when required.
How schedule updates work
AI Dude:
Uses structured scheduling tools (not free-text guesses).
Maintains day breaks and strip structure.
Preserves scene metadata and unit assignments.
Works only within the currently open project.
May ask for clarification if the instruction is ambiguous.
Voice input
You can use the microphone icon in the chat input to give scheduling instructions by voice.
For example:
“Move all Murray Franklin show scenes to Day 8 and group them together.”
AI Dude converts speech to text and processes it the same way as typed commands.
Good to know
Each project has its own AI Dude thread
You can close the panel — your conversation remains saved
Schedule reorganization does not affect breakdown data or budgeting
AI Dude does not modify unrelated scenes
