great stuff man thanks. just been getting into notion past few weeks. yours was teh frist VIDEO PROD template i've seen, hopefully i don't get lost. cheers .
Oh, that's great! I'm starting fresh right now, and this provides a perfect foundation since I plan to do everything in Notion in the future. Thanks for this awesome template!
Dude this is amazing, haven't seen anyone use Notion like this for video production companies that isn't just for solo creators making youtube videos, there is a big difference and you have figured out a lot of the tricky complexities of how to make notion work for our industry. Very excited for V2 to be released!
Thanks Dale! I'm producing a few productions coming up that will involve a whole team, so I'm excited to put my build through its paces and see where it breaks/fails and how I can finetune it from there. V2 isn't far off but now that Notion Calender just got released I need to make sure it's taking advantage.
That's great to hear, and I saw the Notion Calendar release and thought it would be a great potential addition of features for the production workflow, especially for scheduling crew and embedding call sheets in the calendar invite. Super excited to see how you integrate it @@stevenbaileytv
@@daletidy. Hey my friend! Since last we spoke, I've moved across the country and have been diving headfirst into some pretty big projects. Not available "shortly", but certainly on my radar.
@@stevenbaileytv Hey Steven, I was wondering if you’d be willing to share or sell a detailed guide, aka manual, of your template. I’m looking to hire a project manager and teach them how to use your template. I feel a bit overwhelmed trying to explain it all, so a detailed guide to use along with this video would be great. Thanks!
Hi there! Definitely happy to help out more, for sure. I'm in the process of updating the template to include certain new features like database automation, and once I have a 2.0 I can try and pair its release with a more detailed overview. @@chrisjoelproductions
Great video steve! I have use notion as CRM before, only downside is the lack of automation and gmail integration. Really hope notion can cook up some real CRM function into it tho cus I really enjoy using it
Are you done with the verison 2? Or at least a much more detailed tutorial how to use this that suits for non filmmaker or beginner solo content creator. Thanks! Would love to get this!!
Hey mate, been using this template and tweaking it around for our needs, working really well! Only thing I'm not super clear on is the follow-up/review and review frequency and how they work together. At the moment for example i have a few jobs i want to follow up on in Jan, but they are already showing up in the follow-up/review database. Can you explain a bit about how this works or how you use it? And does the review frequency mean it should remind me every 6 weeks/days? Sorry if i missed where you explained this more!
Hi! Yes, review frequency is number of days. So if you have reviewed a project today, change the last review date to today, and it will disappear from the follow-up view. If your review frequency is set to 6, then in six days it will re-populate the follow up view. Review it, change the "last review" to the day you have reviewed it, and so on. I generally only use this when I'm waiting for a client to respond to me before a contract has been signed and a project has been officially kicked off. If you want to review a project in January, set that number to, let's say, 30, and in 30 days it will automatically populate (assuming you have a date selected in the "last review" section). It's really up to you how you want to use it! You could alternatively keep the review frequency to a default of 6, and set last review to six days before you wish to review the project in January.
Hi! I bought the tamplate! It's wonderful. I have a question, how can I add more TASKs automatically. When I send to pre-production automatically I only have "create a shot-list" and "create production schedule". So, when I send to pre-production automatically I wanna see "music research" as a task
Hi! In order to do this, you need to edit the button itself. The easiest way would be to edit the button, and duplicate a task and then rename it, and keep doing this until you've added all of the tasks that you need!
Really great and complete template that I bought because the price is fair. Just a question : in the current project. The on Hold button make the project disapear from any views except calendar. Is that normal ? Best regards and thank you for this big work ! The formula relationship is extremly powerful and I wouldn't be able to use them.
That is normal but you can change that behavior and customize it however you want! That's just a filter applied to the views. You can decide to keep it included, or you could create a new view that filters just for on hold projects. I love Notion because it's really up to you to decide how you like it!
okay.. One more question ! 00:43 you're doing the shot list which is toogle. I'm able to do almost the same. Just how do you call this "selected number" in the title of the toogle ? Okay answer to myself, it's in the propertise and it's called grouping by property. Hour looking for that ! ^^'
How would you approach a multi-deliverable project? Like episodic? Or if you have 1 ad and 5 testimonials to produce? I realize we could break into several projects, but this might end up duplicating some work performed in Notion i.e. Ingestion.
@@jayinaffinity I’m actually tweaking a deliverables database right now. So I have overarching projects, and then deliverables that belong to one project that you can then assign to different editors and deadlines etc. I’ve also been tweaking the tasks database to function essentially as a project calendar, so “tasks” are more “production milestones”, which helps me break up a project more easily into the different production stages and their associated tasks. So my shoot days are in my “Production” category in the tasks database now.
Hi there! If you purchase and hit me with your e-mail after, I'd be happy to send along 2.0 to you directly. It's basically finished, just tweaking a little bit still.
Anyone been able to get Fountain system built into Notion for easy script writing? Also, how about highlighting elements and having those elements show up in a different database, such as " "she" turned on the *lamp* " We highlight She for Cast and Lamp for Prop and those automatically show up in somewhere else for different departments to source.
So far haven't found a useful way to incorporate Fountain into Notion, and definitely not for a lack of trying! I do have a prototype script breakdown and outliner that I use a lot, but it's pretty rough around the edges right now. I know you can highlight a word and link it to another database page, which is one extra step but if you have an elements database you could do that pretty easily.
@@stevenbaileytv Thank you! I work with Jason (OP). We're interested in talking to you about some on the side consulting. We've reached out to you via your website yesterday. Hoping to hear back from you :) Regardless, how are you working your script and breakdown process with Notion? Are you using FadeIn, Final Draft etc.. and just attaching PDFs? Also, are you doing big budgets in Notion?
adding projects but where can I find some help? Example. I imported my contacts into Notion and want to add those clients to the Client Database (assuming that is the correct way to do this) so I can add them to each project as I create them.
Ooh! I haven't imported much data myself into Notion personally. When you imported your contacts, were they added to a database, or just a table within a notion page? If they were added to a database, then you can create a relation property in that database and connect it to the projects database. Then just use that as your connecting point and don't worry about the contacts database that I included.
I just imported a CSV file but I am still learning how to connect things. In your template, I don't understand the difference between the client database and the contacts database. What I am trying to figure out is am I supposed to import my contacts into the contact database or link them etc. Sorry for the 800 questions just figuring stuff out. @@stevenbaileytv
@@michaeldrager I use the contact database to keep track of individuals, and then I sort from there. So in my contact database, I have them categorized as vendor or client. The client database is a repository more so for the companies (vs. the individuals) that I work with. I think a really important thing to think about at this stage is how *you* want to organize everything. The heart of my template is the project database and the task database, with the client and contact databases included as a bare-bones jumping off point. But maybe having two doesn't make sense for you! That's okay. I know Notion can be overwhelming when first getting started!
I've been waiting a long time for something like this! I'll give it a try

Nice! I thought I was OK at Notion but this is next level. Deffo gonna use this at work.
Glad you dig! Stay tuned for an update coming in the next month or so. Lots of new Notion Features I'm working to include in a new build.
I'm a little late to the party, but so stoked my producer pointed me to your video. Watched it a couple times and downloaded instantly. Mahalo!
Glad you dig, friend! Hope it’s useful for you!
@@stevenbaileytv I'll circle back once we have it dialed in for our production company.

How do you import this template into notion after purchasing? thanks.
Hey @steven, bought the template! How can I add more steps before or after "Post Production"? Help I'm stuck! 🙏
Hi! Do you mean adding additional Production Stages? You can simply edit the property in the database and add as many steps as you want!
Need help. I purchased but I am getting a blank page after opening up link
Uh oh! I'll try to figure that out. On set today but I'll put this on my to-do list. Let me know if you gain access in the meantime.
