PRODUCER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Clear answers for the technical and logistical realities of the job.

How does 'Remote Mode' work on a shoot with no service?

We understand that the best locations often have the worst signal. onSET Mobile and our technical logs are designed to buffer data locally and sync automatically the moment you hit a pocket of LTE or return to basecamp.

Do I have to pay for seats for every crew member?

No. onFORMAT is designed for producers. Your crew accesses their authorized documents through a secure 'Email Gate' at no additional cost. You maintain total control over who sees what.

Can I export documents for offline clients?

Absolutely. Our 'Print Room' feature allows you to compile any combination of documents into a single, professionally branded PDF that is ready for email or physical printing.

How secure is my proprietary creative content?

We use enterprise-grade encryption and built-in NDA gates. Crew must acknowledge your confidentiality agreement before they can view a single frame of your storyboard or a line of your script.

Is this built for still photographers too?

Yes. While we support full AV script logic, many of our users are photographers using the platform for complex commercial stills productions, leveraging the Locations, Casting, and Client Selects tools.
