What's new in Little PA

New features, improvements and fixes from this month and the five months before it. The same product updates you see in the app.

October 2026

Screener becomes a review tool: comments at the timecode, versions with notes and a delivery deck instead of a file link. Deckster opens to everyone, presents live and gets themes. Plus image search in the Media Pool and your own account settings.

ScreenerNew30 Oct

Start with a film template

Under “New slide”, you can now add a film with a cover, formats side by side and approval rounds.

Media PoolNew28 Oct

Casting files stacked in the pool

In Deckster, Screener and Shorder, each casting person's files appear as a stack in the pool sidebar. Open it to see the files, or drag the whole stack in at once.

ScreenerNew28 Oct

Replace a version without a new number

Exported the wrong file? As long as nobody has watched or commented on it, swap the file under the same version number. The original file name stays visible.

DecksterNew25 Oct

Deck themes with light, dark and your colours

Six themes for your PPM deck, each in light and dark, with your own brand colours on top. Switch any time, content stays put.

Little PANew24 Oct

Account settings

Choose which emails you get, sign out other devices, hand over a workspace or delete your account with a 14-day grace period.

ScreenerNew24 Oct

Comments on the timecode

Clients and agencies comment right on the frame, with replies and a point on the image. You get one digest mail, and the approval report lists every comment.

ScreenerNew24 Oct

Versions with notes

Drop a new cut on a film and it becomes the next version with a note on what changed. Earlier versions stay playable in the link.

ScreenerNew22 Oct

Delivery deck instead of a file link

Cover, films with all their formats, credits. The link opens straight into the deck and works on the phone.

DecksterNew21 Oct

Present Deckster live

Everyone on the link follows your slides in real time, and viewers can rate with thumbs or stars.

DecksterNew20 Oct

Deckster for everyone

Build the PPM deck from cast, locations and storyboard, send it as a presentation and see who watched what.

Media PoolNew20 Oct

Search by what's in the picture

Type “red jacket” or “staircase” and the Media Pool, Casting Binder and Scout Glass find matching photos, even without a fitting file name.

ShorderNew19 Oct

Endframe per shot

Add a second frame for where a camera move ends, so start and end sit side by side in the shot list.

CallsheeterNew15 Oct

Group crew by department

See at a glance who's on camera, lighting, sound and the rest in your crew table.

  • ScreenerImproved30 Oct

    Upload formats without renaming files

    Upload a file from a film without a format in its name, and it becomes a separate format instead of a version of the previous file. Its aspect ratio is picked up later; you can still drop versions onto the format row.

  • ScreenerImproved30 Oct

    Single videos are now clips

    To show a single video directly in the player, choose “Clip”. The film template is for formats and approval rounds.

  • ShorderFix30 Oct

    Storyboard language and Shot numbers stay put

    Import a storyboard and descriptions and Cast stay in the document’s language. Printed Shot numbers like 1A or 2B carry over instead of being renumbered.

  • ShorderImproved30 Oct

    A handoff without motion

    With reduced motion turned on, the tool icons on the handoff card no longer move.

  • Media PoolImproved28 Oct

    Faces stay in frame

    New casting photos get an automatic focus point, so faces don't get cropped off pool tiles. If you've set a point yourself in Casting Binder, that takes priority.

  • ScreenerFix28 Oct

    Show titles on two lines

    You can press Enter to break a cover, credits or film title onto a second line. That second line now shows up on the slide.

  • ScreenerImproved28 Oct

    Ticking off feedback stays internal

    Marking comments and notes as done is now only visible to your team. And on shared links everyone comments under their own name.

  • Media PoolImproved28 Oct

    View pool files larger from any tool

    The magnifier on each tile opens the file full size right inside Deckster, Screener or Shorder. Portrait photos keep their heads, and Social Penal clips play.

  • ShorderFix26 Oct

    Live view across midnight

    Night shoots stay in sync after midnight, the now line only shows on today's schedule, and buffers end at the real end of the day.

  • ProjectsImproved25 Oct

    Activity log per project

    The project list shows who did what in which tool, including replies from outside like crew confirmations or client approvals.

  • Casting BinderFix25 Oct

    Uploads land with the right person

    Loose files go to the person whose name is in the file name, the AI no longer renames people, and measurements come out in the right unit.

  • TimeplanerFix25 Oct

    Shifting timings keeps fixed entries

    Shifting the timing or letting the AI reorganise it now leaves pinned entries alone and only removes what it says it removes.

  • Little PAImproved25 Oct

    One look across all tools

    Headings, badges, buttons and stages now follow the same rules in every tool. Less hunting, more recognising.

  • Little PAImproved24 Oct

    Tool start pages with an overview

    Every tool opens with the same list on the left and a few numbers on the right that tell you what needs attention next.

  • Casting BinderImproved20 Oct

    One upload link per binder

    One link for all agencies, with the agency in the form and the role preselected if you like. Large videos upload in chunks.

  • ShorderImproved16 Oct

    Units in chronological order in the PDF

    Parallel units now sit at their real time in the shoot schedule PDF, interleaved with the main unit, instead of tacked on at the end.

September 2026

Callsheeter takes Excel seriously: import crew, paste cells, pick passengers per ride. Scout Glass turns pinned locations into set-ups, and your project stays with you as you switch tools.

CallsheeterNew27 Sep

  • CallsheeterImproved28 Sep

    Easier to find in Callsheeter

  • CallsheeterFix28 Sep

    Cleaner shoot day copies

    When you duplicate a shoot day, Little PA suggests the next day instead of quietly keeping the old date.

  • ShorderImproved27 Sep

    Tidier timeline

    Shots without a duration now stand out at a glance, and holding Shift moves the stepper in 15-minute steps.

    Crew sync explained

    Hover over “Sync to callsheets” to see exactly what happens to your callsheets.

  • ScoutglassFix14 Sep

    Rename and delete scouts

    Rename or delete scouts right from the Scout Glass dashboard — a typo in the name is no longer forever.

  • ScoutglassImproved14 Sep

    Motifs in review links

    Reviewers now see which motif a location belongs to and can filter the list by motif with one tap.

  • ScreenerFix14 Sep

    Controls in fullscreen

    Play, pause, loop, timecode and laser pointer sit on a bar over the picture in fullscreen and fade out when the mouse rests.

  • ProjectsImproved14 Sep

    Company suggestions in the project dialog

    Production company, client and agency suggest names you've used before as you type — tap once instead of typing again.

July 2026

The project cockpit shows the whole production on one page. Crew requests check availability by link, Timeplaner picks up shoot days from Callsheeter, and every export runs through one PDF designer.

Every project now has a cockpit: next shoot day, crew status, budget and callsheet progress across all tools at a glance — plus pulse cards on the project list.

CallsheeterNew5 Jul

Crew requests — availability by link

Ask your crew for availability straight from the project: everyone gets a personal link, confirms or declines in one click, and you get the answer by mail.

Little PANew5 Jul

One export, one PDF designer — everywhere

Export & share now works the same in every tool, with a shared PDF designer: customize colors and branding for Checkbook and Scoutglass, and turn scouted locations into a location book.

CallsheeterNew4 Jul

Location column for crew

Assign each crew member their own location — visible in the editor, the shared PDF and the public callsheet.

  • ProjectsFix15 Jul

    Shared projects open for collaborators again

    Collaborators invited to a project by email were locked out of the project cockpit despite having access — it opens for them again.

  • CallsheeterFix15 Jul

    Driver's vehicle in the share list

    In the export share list each driver now shows their vehicle next to the name, not just the name alone.

  • Casting BinderFix7 Jul

    Uploads land on the right person

    The public upload form now asks "Already in this casting?" — new material attaches to the existing person instead of creating a duplicate.

  • Little PAImproved6 Jul

    50 user tests, one polish sweep

    Dates follow your language everywhere, buttons can't double-submit anymore, the English UI is complete, stage tabs work with arrow keys, and locked tool cards tell you why they're locked.

  • CallsheeterImproved6 Jul

    Type an email while quick-adding crew and it becomes a contact automatically — linked to the person, ready for the next project.

  • Little PAImproved5 Jul

Upload storyboard pages, hand-crop individual frames in high resolution and attach them to your shots — with sturdier AI analysis.

  • ShorderImproved3 Jun

    AI optimize right in the timeline
