DODOVideo production management software built for shoots that don't fit on a spreadsheet.
DODO is the production house management app for ad-film houses, music-video shops, corporate video studios, and documentary teams — schedule multi-day shoots, track equipment across locations, and run post-production on Kanban.
One workspace for pre-production planning, on-set crew logistics, equipment across trucks and locations, and a Kanban board that carries your project from rough cut to final DCP.
Built for: Ad-film houses, music video studios, corporate & explainer video teams, documentary units, event coverage crews.
Why video production houses outgrow spreadsheets fast.
Every studio hits the same operational walls once the volume of shoots, clients, and freelancers goes up. These are the four that hurt the most.
Pre-production lives in a Google Doc no one reads
The call sheet, the shot list, the equipment list, the crew list, the location permit — five separate documents, three versions of each, one senior producer trying to keep them in sync at 11pm before the shoot.
Location shoots create equipment black holes
The Ronin, the C-stand, and half the audio kit went to Manali for a music video and no one wrote it down. Two weeks later a corporate shoot in Mumbai discovers it's short on gear at 6am on the shoot day.
Post-production status calls eat everyone's day
Where is the rough cut? Is the color grade done? Did the client approve the second-round revisions? Every answer requires pinging three people on WhatsApp and waiting.
Freelancer contracts and payments are a mess
A DoP charges by the day, a colorist by the project, a sound designer by the hour, and a runner by the shift. When invoices come in six weeks later, no one can reconstruct who did what on which shoot.
A single workspace that runs the whole video production houses workflow.
Pre-production that lives on the same board as the shoot
Every project in DODO carries a linked call sheet, shot list, crew roster, equipment reservation, and location details. Update once, and the crew sees the change instantly — no more "which version of the doc are you looking at?"
Equipment tracked across trucks, locations, and freelancers
Assign gear to a shoot, check it out to a specific crew member, and DODO knows exactly where every camera body and lens is at any moment. Return dates are enforced, so the Manali music video can't accidentally hold the Mumbai corporate's kit hostage.
Kanban post-production the entire team can see
Every project has a fully configurable Kanban board — Assembly, Rough Cut, Color, VFX, Sound Mix, Final DCP, Delivery. Every card carries the assignee, deadline, and current version. Status calls become status glances.
Freelancer rates and shifts, calculated once
Set rate cards per freelancer (day / project / hour / shift). As shoots complete and post tasks close, DODO tallies earnings automatically. Month-end payroll runs in one click, with per-project cost visibility.
Client portal that shows the current cut, not last week's
Clients see the latest cut in their branded portal — leave time-coded comments, approve or request changes, and sign off with an audit trail. No more "which version were you looking at?"
P&L per production, live as costs land
Track ad-film, music video, and corporate shoots individually. Crew costs, equipment rental, location fees, and post-production charges roll into a live P&L — so you know which client, which format, and which director actually makes money.
Video Production Houses FAQ
What is the best video production management software in India?
DODO is production management software purpose-built for Indian video production houses — GST-ready invoicing, INR payroll, multi-day shoot planning, and Kanban post-production. Starts at ₹2,500/month on the yearly plan with unlimited team members.
Can DODO handle multi-location or multi-day shoots?
Yes. Schedule multi-day shoots as one linked project with different crew, equipment, and shot lists per day. Every day rolls up into a single client invoice and a shared post-production Kanban board.
How does DODO fit ad-film production workflows?
DODO covers the entire ad-film pipeline — client approval on script, pre-production planning, on-set logistics, equipment reservations, post-production Kanban (assembly → rough cut → color → sound → DCP), and final delivery through a branded client portal.
Can we run multiple production houses under one account?
Yes. DODO's multi-agency architecture lets a single account host several production houses with isolated data — each with its own crew, clients, projects, and P&L.
Does DODO integrate with Frame.io, Premiere, or DaVinci Resolve?
DODO's client portal handles review, approval, and delivery natively — no separate Frame.io subscription needed. Cuts are uploaded from Premiere, Resolve, or Final Cut via a simple upload link.
Can freelance DoPs and editors log in with their own accounts?
Yes. Freelancers get their own login with visibility only into shoots and tasks they're assigned to. Their rates and payroll are private, and other freelancers can't see them.
