How to export a Yamdu schedule to Showbiz Budgeting?

If you use Showbiz Budgeting it is now possible for you to import scene and scheduling data from your Yamdu shooting schedule directly into Showbiz Budgeting!

In the following steps we will show you how you can easily use your Yamdu schedule to transfer data from Yamdu into Showbiz Budgeting. No more need for time consuming manual data transfer, just export your shooting schedule from Yamdu and import it to Showbiz Budgeting and start your calculations for cast, background characters or other categories from Yamdu such as props, costumes or vehicles etc.
