A full screenplay reads to the end
The breakdown no longer gives up on a feature-length script, a reel you create gets its crew again, and stopping Analyze all no longer leaves a scene half read.
FixedBreakdown**A full-length screenplay now reads to the end.** For the past few days only short test scripts finished their breakdown: reading a feature takes one long pass that can run a quarter of an hour, and each stage was cut off at fifteen minutes. A stage now has two hours. A stage that ran longer than five minutes also stops showing as interrupted while it is still working.
NewBreakdown**A breakdown that stopped says so, and picks up where it stopped.** If a stage cannot finish (the account paying for the model runs out of credit, or it is still going after two hours), the timeline reads **The breakdown stopped at** that stage and offers **Continue breakdown**. Every stage already read is kept. The Director's card in the chat now reports the same thing, even if no tab was open when the run stopped.
FixedReel**Cast your crew is back after uploading a screenplay.** For the past few days a new reel skipped the page where each seat gets its agent and went straight to the studio with no crew at all — so there was no way to give it the Seedance DoP or the references-only Production Designer, and it ran on the defaults whatever you meant. Creating a reel opens that page again, and **Open studio** goes on to the breakdown's estimate as before.
FixedScene analysis**Stop after this one now finishes the scene in progress.** It used to cut the running scene off halfway: its shots were saved and paid for, its brief never ran, and nothing said it was incomplete. Now the scene finishes, brief included, and only the ones after it are dropped. Press **Analyze all** again to carry on. A dropped connection mid-scene (a laptop that went to sleep, a train tunnel) no longer ends the run either: the studio checks what was saved and keeps going.
NewPlatform**Surveys that are answered out loud.** The studio can send a cinematographer a personal link to a survey about how they work. No account is needed. While they tick their answers, the page records the screen they share and their voice, so every answer comes back with the reason spoken aloud. Staff create and revoke links under **Settings → Surveys**, and when reviewing a response, clicking an answer plays the recording from the moment it was ticked.
