Yamdu

What is Yamdu?

Yamdu is production management software for film, TV series, commercials and documentaries. It brings script breakdown, scheduling, call sheets, budgeting, time cards and crew communication into one platform.

Key features of Yamdu

• Script and breakdown: import scripts and use AI-suggested breakdowns.
• Scheduling: stripboard with real-time day-out-of-days reports.
• Call sheets: templates with auto-fill, send and tracking.
• Budgeting: linked to shooting and production schedules through dynamic globals.
• Time cards: track work time with labor-agreement templates and export to payroll.
• Sustainability: CO2e estimates using PEAR, MEDIA Carbon Calculator and KlimAktiv.
• Collaboration: calendar, cast and crew hub, announcements and file sharing.

How Yamdu works

Productions import a script, break it down, build a schedule and send call sheets to cast and crew. Budgets update with schedule changes, and crew time cards feed payroll exports. Watermarking and role-based permissions protect files.
