Photo continuity
for film & TV.

Continuity keeps a show’s characters, looks, and photos together. The hub keeps the master lookbook. Capture phones send their photos to it. Tap Today to see what the crew is shooting. The hub can set the episodes and scenes for the day. Tap Characters to open the roster. Grid shows larger cover photos. Tap List for compact rows. Use the filters to switch between Cast, Stunts, and Background. Open a character and tap a look. The Sort menu changes the order of the looks. Use the arrows above the photos to move between looks. Tap Scenes to find a scene, or use the episode filter to narrow the list. In Camera, choose a look first if you know where the photo belongs. Otherwise, file it later from Unfiled photos. From the home screen, tap the gear to open Preferences. Inside a show, open Settings, then tap Preferences. Choose Light, Dark, or Match device. Under Look of the app, choose Studio for plain photo tiles or Instant film for framed prints with handwritten captions. Under Button colour, choose a swatch. This changes the accent across the app on this device. Thanks for watching. We hope you enjoy using Continuity Lookbook. We’d love your feedback. Send it to ken@continuitylookbook.com.

Enter the character’s name and any performer or cast details, then tap Add character to save. Build this roster on the hub so your capture phones all start with the same characters.

Under Devices and sync, turn on Share character covers to send small thumbnails of the covers you set. Leave it off if you only want to share the character roster. When a capture phone joins or refreshes its roster, it receives the approved character list. Full looks and original photos stay on the hub. With sharing on, the roster can include cover thumbnails. You can turn covers off for individual phones in Connected phones. From the home screen, tap the gear to open Preferences. Inside a show, open Settings, then tap Preferences.
