A screenplay in. A shoot plan out.

ABRAM reads the script scene by scene and tags every cast member, location, prop, wardrobe note, vehicle and effect the day will need. What comes back is a breakdown you can schedule against.

Open ABRAM See the screen

An ABRAM script breakdown: eighteen scenes down the left with their page counts, interior or exterior, day or night, set and location, and one scene opened on the right showing its synopsis, the cast in it, and the props, effects and wardrobe tagged out of it.

Scene 14

Nine categories come off a single page.

The breakdownscreen itself.

Every scene in the script as a row, and the scene you have open on the right: synopsis, comments, who is in it, and the elements sorted into the departments that carry them.

The ABRAM breakdown screen: every scene as a row with page count, interior or exterior, day or night, set, location, day and cast, and the open scene on the right with its synopsis, cast in scene and tagged elements.

Every elementthe day needs.

Open a scene and the breakdown is already written: who is in it, where it plays, what has to be on the truck, and which effects the day is carrying. Each category is its own list, so a department reads only the part that belongs to them.

Tagged from the page: ABRAM takes the elements out of the action and the dialogue, and shows the line each one came from.
Yours to correct: Anything ABRAM reads wrong is edited in place, and the correction stays through the next draft.
Sorted by department: Props, vehicles, wardrobe, special effects, sound effects, makeup, set decoration, animals and extras each keep their own list.

Scenes arriveon the board.

A tagged scene is a strip. It reaches the stripboard carrying its cast numbers, its page count and its location, so the board is already populated the first time you open it.

Scheduling

The same scenes as stripboard strips in ABRAM, grouped into shoot days with their cast numbers and page counts.

What it savesyou doing.

The breakdown is the piece of pre-production everybody does twice: once to read the script, and again to write down what reading it told them.

No second pass

The tags come out of the first read. Nobody retypes a prop list into a spreadsheet to get the schedule started.

Drafts stay cheap

A new draft is compared against the breakdown you have, and you choose whether to merge the changes, overwrite them, or leave them.

The count is right

Every prop, vehicle and cast member is counted across the whole script, so the day the schedule asks for them, they are already on the list.

Questionsworth asking.

What ABRAM reads, what it does with a revision, and where the breakdown ends up.

How does AI script breakdown work in ABRAM?

Upload a screenplay and ABRAM reads it scene by scene, identifying the scene headings, the action and the dialogue, then tagging the cast, locations, props, wardrobe, vehicles and effects each scene needs. The result is a breakdown sheet per scene, ready to schedule against.

What script formats can ABRAM read?

PDF, the industry-standard screenplay format, and plain text. ABRAM reconstructs the layout straight from the file, so nobody re-keys the script, and it handles documents up to 150 pages in one pass.

What happens when a new draft arrives?

ABRAM compares the new draft against the breakdown you already have and asks what to do with the differences. You can merge the changes and keep your manual adjustments, overwrite the existing data, or skip the update entirely.

Does the breakdown feed the shooting schedule?

Yes. Every scene ABRAM tags becomes a strip on the stripboard carrying its cast numbers, page count and location, so the board is already populated the first time you open it.
