PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Movie Magic Budgeting 10 (MMB10) is the newest version of the renowned Movie Magic Budgeting Software which has been the industry software standard for creating Film and TV budgets of all sizes for decades.

Although the architecture of the budget remains the same (Topsheet, Account, Details), in this new version the product has been entirely re-imagined. Movie Magic Budgeting 10 offers an outstanding new interface that maximises the use of your screen. Globals, Groups, Fringes, to name a few, are no longer “pop-up” windows all over your screen, but rather modules that are well organised and easily accessible to quickly check data, calculations and values.

Built using the latest technologies, this new version of Movie Magic Budgeting is a MAC and PC desktop application, which includes a cloud-based module that offers great additional secure storage facilities when your computer is connected to the internet.   However, if you don’t have an internet connection, the program can still be used on your computer.  Once you reconnect, then your data are synchronised with the cloud server.

The cloud-based module allows you to:

• Store your files on a secure server (in addition to being stored on your computer) – Even if your computer crashes, there is always a saved version in the cloud.
• Cloud-sync libraries – your most frequently used setup items such as Templates, Groups, Globals, and Fringes are just a click away to be shared across all your various budgets. This means that if you set up your Globals for Y 2021, for example, this information can be shared across all over your budgets. There is no longer a need to create a template just to share the calculations and data included in your Globals.
• Quickly share your file with a partner using MMB10. This allows this person to easily add comments to your file and on a short term to modify the budget based on the role attributed.

Whether you manage the budget of a TV series, drama, low budget or multi-million dollar feature film, Movie Magic Budgeting offers an intuitive, flexible “spreadsheet module” that allows you to create and edit comprehensive budgets of all sizes.

DATE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION STARTS
Your annual subscription begins the moment you activate your product, not the date of your purchase from us. In other words, if you are a production company buying 5 seats (licenses), using two now, and three at a later date, the 12-month subscription period will start respectively now for two of your licenses and at the date you activate the remaining licenses.

If you already have a monthly subscription and want to switch to an annual subscription, you will need to wait until the end of the current monthly billing cycle to go through the coupon workflow. IF you need more information please contact us –  Contact Form

Important Note about the license and number of installations
A user can install MMB10 on several computers (MAC and PC) but can only use the application on one computer at a time. EP’s server automatically checks when you are logged in to the software. If it’s already in use, it is not possible to log in with a second computer using the same subscription account. (However, the application allows you to work offline for seven days. After this period of seven days,  you will need to login with an internet connection in order to validate your license automatically, checked by EP’s server)

Two users would need to create two separate accounts, each with their own login. The monthly subscription for the second user may be an interesting option if that person is only using the software for a couple weeks.
