Photo shoot schedule

Build a schedule for a photo shoot from steps and minutes. The server calculates all times, buffers and overruns, and the AI words each step.

Input

Shoot: Family Berg, spring pictures Date: 16 May 2026 Location: Mill Park Start time: 14:00 Planned end: 16:30 Steps: id,step,who,minutes,fixed_start A1,Arrival and light check,Photographer,20, A2,Family group at the lake,Photographer an…

Result

A table with from, to, minutes, step, who and fixed time, the buffers, the overrun in minutes and the end time, also as text and Word.

A shoot depends on light and on time. This tool turns steps and minutes into a schedule with start and end times. Steps with a fixed time wait for it, and the gap appears as a buffer. If the plan arrives too late or ends after the planned end, the minutes are reported. The AI words the steps and calculates nothing.

Questions and answers

How is an overrun calculated?

The server adds up the minutes from the start time. A step with a fixed time waits for that time, and the gap is shown as a buffer. A later arrival is reported in minutes, and so is an end after the planned end.

What does the AI do here?

It words each step and short notes. All times are calculated by the server, and the who column is added word for word. A wording that does not pass the checks is replaced by the text from the table.

What happens past midnight?

Times continue on the next day and are marked with +1. A fixed time shortly after midnight is read as the next day.

Is my text stored?

Only as long as needed: 7 days on Free, 30 days with a package – or not at all if you choose not to store it. Processing happens on our own servers in the EU (Poland).

Can I use the result right away?
