How projects move through Pre-production, Production, Post-production, Distribution and Completed.

Projects & phases

Every project moves through Pre-production, Production, Post-production, Distribution and Completed — and its phase follows the work.

How project phases work

Projects and deliverables share a single status list, grouped by phase — here is every rung and what it means.

The status ladder: one status list for projects and deliverables

Use Move phase in the project header to send a project forward or back, or accept the handoff prompt when a phase finishes.

Move a project to another phase

Finished work goes to Completed, work you want out of the way goes to Archived — and anything with real work in it can never be deleted.

Archive, complete, reopen or delete a project

Shape the projects list with Filter and Display, then save the result as a named view you can switch back to in one click.

Filter, sort and save views on the projects list

Admins and managers add, rename, recolor and reorder the columns on every project and deliverable board from Settings.

Manage board columns for your workspace

Save a project's task list once and apply it to every new retainer month, shoot or delivery — with due dates that shift automatically.

Task templates for recurring projects

View links, edit links and email invitations bring outside people into one project — no seat required.

Share a project with clients and freelancers

One deliverable can carry several aspect ratios, each tracked separately — no more one card per ratio.

Set up a deliverable: specs, ratios and exports

Roadmap

Changelog

Set up your workspace, invite your team, and run your first project.

Getting started

A production platform for creative agencies — one place to take a project from first idea to delivered video.

What is contentmaker.space?

Sign up, name your company and either subscribe or start a 7-day free trial.

Set up your workspace and start your free trial

Add teammates from Settings → Members, choose Admin, Manager, Member or Limited, and understand what an invite costs.

Invite your team and pick the right role

The sidebar, the command palette, the assistant and where to get help.

Find your way around

A walkthrough: create a project, write a script, plan the shoot, edit, get approval and mark it done.

Your first project, end to end

Briefs, scripts, shot lists, Shoot Canvas, locations, call sheets and casting.

Pre-production

Everything the project is about, on one page: the brief, key dates, planned deliverables, references and prep progress.

The pre-production Overview and brief

The script writer is a real document editor — and each script is the deliverable that carries through to delivery.

Write a script in the Scripts tab

Plan the shoot scene by scene — the scenes come from your script, and the list becomes your shoot-day checklist.

Build a shot list

An infinite board for references, notes, links, locations and scene planning — the moodboard and the scene plan in one place.

Plan visually on the Shoot Canvas

Track scouting and permits, then build each shoot day into a timed run of show.

Locations and call sheets

Add people to a project cast from your reusable workspace casting board, and track each as shortlisted, approved or booked.

Casting: build a talent database

Shoot day: the call sheet, the live shotlist checklist and ticking off shots as you go.

Production

The shots you planned in pre-production become the shoot-day checklist, with a live progress bar.

Run the shoot with the production Shotlist

The deliverables board, review and approval, and distribution.

Post-production

The post-production kanban: drag cards between columns, pan across the board, and understand the two special groups.

Work the deliverables board

Send a cut for review with a link, log your time, handle feedback and approve.

Review, feedback and approval

The fifth phase for teams that also publish the work and report back on it.

Distribution: schedule, publish and report

Team planning, availability, work locations and your team's task list.

Planner & tasks

Drag deliverables onto days and people, switch between day and week views, and keep an eye on the whole team.

Plan your team's week in the Planner

Tell your team how many hours you're available and whether you're in the office — day by day, straight from the planner.

Availability and work locations

A workspace-wide task list with a personal view, inline editing, filters you can save, and a board layout.

Tasks: My tasks and All tasks

Timers, timesheets, insights, project margins, company finance and goals.

Time tracking & finance

Start a timer scoped to a project and task type, or to an internal category — and log time after the fact when you forget.

Track your time with the timer

Review your own hours, the whole team's, and the billable breakdown month by month.

Timesheets and Insights

Rename and reorder the task types and categories your team picks from, and optionally cap entry length.

Configure time tracking for your workspace

See what a project actually earns, and plan the workspace's monthly income and expenses.

Project margins and company finance

Build your team wiki: pages, the editor, wiki-links, visibility and locking.

Knowledge Base

Build your team wiki: nested pages, categories, and an editor with slash commands and raw markdown.

Create and organize Knowledge Base pages

Link pages with [[, control exactly who can see each one, lock pages you own, and keep the space tidy.

Wiki-links, visibility and link health

Clients, leads, deals, quotes, contacts, meetings and the sales dashboard.

CRM & sales

Your address book has one lifecycle status per account — and it promotes itself when real work arrives.

Clients, contacts and the account lifecycle

Run your sales pipeline: capture leads, convert them to deals, attach quotes and turn a won deal into a project.

Leads, deals and quotes

Bookings and call recordings in one inbox, with automatic transcription, summaries and client links.

Meetings, recordings and AI summaries

What the assistant can do, AI credits, voice input and the Claude connector.

AI assistant

The assistant reads and changes your workspace — projects, tasks, shot lists, call sheets, casting and more.

What the AI assistant can do

The assistant, script generation and meeting summaries all run on one euro-denominated credit balance.

AI credits and topping up

Add contentmaker.space as a custom connector in Claude by pasting one URL and signing in.

Connect Claude to your workspace

Connect Frame.io, Dropbox, Google Calendar, booking tools and meeting recorders.

Integrations

Bring meeting recordings, summaries and transcripts into your Recordings inbox and link them to leads, applicants and clients.

Connect a meeting notetaker: Fathom, Fireflies.ai or Granola

Connect Cal.com once and we register the webhooks, so every booking lands in your meetings inbox and leads pipeline.

Connect Cal.com so bookings become leads

Calendly bookings flow into the same meetings inbox and leads pipeline as Cal.com — with one caveat on free plans.

Connect Calendly

Bridge bookings made through a Google appointment schedule into your meetings inbox.

Connect Google appointment scheduling

See your own meetings as an overlay on the planner, and choose exactly how much your team can see.

Connect your Google Calendar to the planner

Paste a review link onto a project or deliverable — there is no Frame.io account to connect.

Frame.io review links

Register a form as a source so every submission lands in your pipeline — Tally via webhook, Meta Lead Ads via LeadsBridge, Zapier or Make.

Connect Tally forms and Meta Lead Ads

Seats, roles, per-seat billing, invoices, notifications and workspace settings.

Account & billing

Admin, Manager, Member and Limited — who can do what, and which data each role is shielded from.

Roles and what each one can see

Studio bills per paid seat, adjusts automatically as your team changes, and keeps removed seats open until the next cycle.

How per-seat billing works

Everything billing lives on two pages: Settings → Plans and Settings → Billing.

Manage your plan, payment method and invoices

Your projects, clients and work stay safe — access is paused until an admin reactivates.

What happens when your subscription ends

Set your name, theme and language, change your sign-in email or password, and choose which notifications reach you.
