What it is
Cinetech is a cloud-based, AI-powered production management service for film and video projects. It connects visualization, production planning, and team coordination in a shared project knowledge base. Script breakdown tags production elements, analyzes scenes, and tracks versions. Scheduling creates an optimized baseline shooting schedule and can produce stripboards, One-Liners, Day-Out-Of-Days, call sheets, and PDFs. Storyboarding can suggest panels with AI, create visuals in artistic styles, and animate panels via Runway. Shot Lists & DP Tools include script lining, shoot mode, take tracking, a digital clapper, and routing for continuity and editor notes. Teams can share projects with view or edit permissions, receive real-time notifications, and communicate in-app. Cinetech says scripts and production data are not used to train AI models, and that Anthropic and OpenAI process content under zero data retention policies. The free account is read-only, has 100 assistant credits, and excludes script breakdowns. Paid modules start at $15 a month. Solo Creator costs $49 a month and Team costs $149 a month.
