If you use Movie Magic Scheduling or Gorilla, you can export your project from the Scheduling tab and continue working in your preferred software. Filmustage supports two export formats:
MMSX — native export for Movie Magic Scheduling 10 and later. Saves as .MMS10.
SEX — legacy export for Movie Magic Scheduling 5 and 6, and for Gorilla Scheduling. Saves as .MMS.
