- Part 3: Track Live Production and Generate Your Wrap Report — You are here
Switch to tracking mode #
Open the production day. In planning mode, the toolbar shows a checklist icon. Tap it to switch to tracking mode — the icon changes to a calendar-with-clock. The view shifts: the schedule header is replaced by a large running schedule delta (how many minutes ahead or behind the estimate you are), with the call time on the left and wrap time on the right. Each shot card now shows timing controls.
Tap the icon again at any time to return to the planning view. Switching between modes does not affect any timing data already recorded.
Mark shots rolling and wrapped #
In tracking mode, each shot row has a timing control on the right:
- Start (green capsule) — tap when camera rolls on that shot. The app records the start time and the shot becomes active. The Start button is replaced by an End button and a running elapsed time counter (“Xm elapsed”)
- End (red capsule) — tap when the shot is wrapped. The app records the end time and calculates actual duration against the estimate. The shot is marked done and moves into the wrapped count
A shot that has been started but not ended is “rolling” — its row stays highlighted and the day card in the Production Days list shows a red “In Progress” indicator. A shot that has been ended is “wrapped” — the progress bar on the day card advances.
You can also set start and end times manually via the manual entry sheet — useful when you forgot to tap Start in the moment. Long-press or use the context menu on a shot row to access manual time entry.
Real-Time Crew Sync (Premium) #
Real-Time Crew Sync lets additional iPhones or iPads on set see live shot status updates over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth — no internet connection required. This is a Premium feature.
On the host device (yours): tap the antenna icon in the toolbar. PriceRight Pro starts advertising on the local network. The icon turns green. The production day title broadcasts to nearby devices as the session name.
On viewer devices: open PriceRight Pro and navigate to the same production day. Tap the antenna icon to start browsing. The host session appears in the list — tap it to join. The viewer receives a full snapshot of the current shot status immediately on connection. From that point, every time the host taps Start or End, the viewer’s screen updates in real time.
When any viewer is connected, the antenna icon on the host shows the connected count as a green badge. Tap the antenna icon again (while hosting) to open the peer management sheet — you can see which devices are connected and stop broadcasting when the shoot day is over.
Real-Time Crew Sync works entirely on the local network. Viewers don’t need to be signed into PriceRight Pro — they just need the app open on the same Wi-Fi or within Bluetooth range.
Generate the Wrap Report #
Once at least one shot has been wrapped, a document icon appears in the toolbar. Tap it to open the Wrap Report.
The summary card at the top shows the day title, shoot date, and a shot count (e.g., “8/12 shots”). Below that, four KPI cells display the key numbers for the day:
- Scheduled — total time from Call to Wrap
- Estimated — sum of all shot estimated durations
- Actual — sum of recorded actual shot durations (shown only once shots are wrapped)
- On Time — percentage of shots that finished within their estimated time
A variance line below the KPIs shows the overall schedule result: “+Nm over estimate,” “Nm under estimate,” or “Right on estimate.”
The Shot Breakdown section lists every scheduled shot. Wrapped shots show a green checkmark, their actual start→end time range, and the actual duration in minutes with a variance indicator (red when over, green when under). Unwrapped shots show a circle and their estimated time.
The Wrap Report is available any time during or after the shoot day as soon as the first shot wraps. It updates live as more shots are wrapped.
