    Does anyone have any suggestions for some good scheduling software (for Mac would be best)? Or any methods you can suggest? I find most of the film specific software too drama specific, but please let me know if it is working for you.
    Thanks,

    When you find it, let me know. I’m using Microsoft Project. It’s o.k. for the type of work I do most often – since most of our client’s are used to seeing Gantt charts to clarify project schedules, but it would be nice to have something more specifically geared towards corporate video production.

    We looked into Scheduall software several times over the years, but at the time, it was more than we needed. You may still want to see if it suites your needs.

    We are using Edge from SchedulAll, which is a “Lite” version. It won’t work on Mac unless you put Windows on Mac (and what fun is that?). We too are currently looking for scheduling software or project management software for Mac and are finding project management software may be more adaptable.

    look at open source project management software, such as dot project. It is not for everyone, but may be what you are looking for. It is a free offering, similar to the non-free Basecamp.

    Thanks.

    Our resident Machead is also looking into some other solutions and our Apple Government sales guy is also going to suggest some.
