From the Manufacturer

From the owners of Movie Magic, a new standard in production budgeting software. Exclusive features and enhanced functionality brings the budgeting process into the 21st Century. Flexible and intuitive, EPB incorporates long awaited and robust new features not found in other production budgeting applications.

Budget Production with Greater Ease and Accuracy

EP's clients have long requested a budgeting application that would address the expanded range of needs facing cost estimators today. Greater flexibility. A wide range of options for comparing budgets and examining individual components. Capacity for an additional level of detail. More time saving features. A facility for making notations. Interaction with Movie Magic Budgeting files. In response, EP proudly introduces EP Budgeting.

As with Movie Magic Budgeting, fringes and Contractual Charges are easily added, calculated, and adjusted; the Groups function allows you to plan for and track different scenarios within a single budget; and Globals can be created to quickly change any aspect or variable and automatically update the entire budget.

All New Exclusive Bonus Features!

• Fourth level spreadsheets enable an additional level of information to be broken down and linked back into the Detail Account level, with the ability to paste data directly from spreadsheet applications.
• Note feature allows accounts to be flagged directly in the budget for reference or reminder.
• A new foreign-currency column allows you to budget and view entire productions using native or budgeted rates.
• True independent set fields allows you to view any and all sets separately from the main budget, offering the ability to track sets with greater ease.
