"RivetAI streamlines repetitive breakdown and scheduling work so I can focus on creative calls, not re-keying spreadsheets."
01: RivetAI vs Movie Magic
A side-by-side look at how modern, cloud-native budgeting stacks up against the legacy desktop workflow.
02: Why switch
Movie Magic set the standard on the desktop. RivetAI brings that workflow to the cloud and connects it end to end.
Your script feeds breakdown, scheduling, and budgeting automatically. Change a scene and see exactly what downstream needs a refresh, instead of re-exporting between tools.
AI-assisted breakdown, scheduling, and budget drafts turn a locked script into connected, editable production plans for crew review.
Your whole team works in the same project from any browser, with roles, scoped share links, and live updates. No file passing.
Buy once per project with no annual renewals. Studio bundles scheduling and budgeting into a single license, instead of Movie Magic's two separate subscriptions.
