Manage cast and crew lists

Beginner3 min readUpdated May 2026

Cast and crew lists keep everyone on the production, with their role and contact details, in one place. This guide covers building and maintaining them.

Before you start

You'll need a project. Any project will do.

1

Create a cast or crew list

In Lists, create a cast list, a crew list, or both. Keeping them separate matches how you brief them and how they read on set.

2

Add people with their role

Enter each person with the role they hold on this production: director, gaffer, 1st AD, an actor and their character. The role, not just the name, is what the rest of the crew needs.

3

Add contact details

Add a phone number and an email to each entry. With contacts on the list itself, nobody has to dig through messages to reach a head of department on a shoot day.

4

Keep the list current

People change across a production. Update the list as roles are filled or swapped, and every tool that reads from it, and every PDF you export, stays accurate.

One list, many uses

The cast and crew you enter here are the same people you can give a seat in the project. The list and the team stay in step.
