FAQ

Getting Started

What is ReelStylePro?

ReelStylePro is a free asset tracking tool for vertical drama productions, freelance costume designers, stylists, and theater departments. Track wardrobe, props, and locations across productions with photos and notes — no spreadsheets needed.

Who is ReelStylePro for?

Freelance costume designers, stylists, props coordinators, and small production teams working in vertical drama, theater, or similar productions.

I'm a stylist, not a film production. Can I use ReelStylePro?

Absolutely. Use a client's name as your "production" and track outfits, looks, and assets per client. ReelStylePro works for any workflow that involves tracking visual assets across multiple projects or clients.

Is ReelStylePro free?

Yes, completely free.

Assets & Productions

What is the difference between deleting an asset and removing it from a production?

Removing an asset from a production keeps it in your library for future use. Deleting an asset permanently removes it and all its photos from the system. This cannot be undone.

Can the same asset appear in multiple productions?

Yes. Use "Add Existing Asset" inside any production to link an asset from your library without re-entering it.

What about unassigned items — mystery props, unlabeled costumes, or storage items?

Create a production called "Storage" or "Unassigned" and add those items there. Use the Notes field for context like "found in storage" or "unknown origin." You can link them to a real production later.

Can I create my own categories or labels?

Yes. Add custom tags to any asset using your own vocabulary — "shoes", "outerwear", "rented", "hero costume", whatever makes sense for your workflow. Tags are searchable and filterable across your entire library.

Photos

How many photos can I add per asset?

Up to 3 photos per asset, maximum 5MB each.

Why is there a photo limit?

To keep the tool fast and lightweight for on-set use.

Can I upload videos?

No — ReelStylePro supports photos only (up to 3 per asset, maximum 5MB each). For on-set reference, a clear photo is usually all you need. Video files are too large to keep the tool fast and lightweight.

How fast is photo upload on set?

Photos upload directly from your phone camera or device. For best results use WiFi when available.

Search & Export

What can I search for?

Search finds matches across asset name, description, and episode/scene notes. You can also filter by category (Wardrobe, Props, Locations) and sort by date added or name.

What format is the export?

Assets export as a CSV file which opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, or any spreadsheet software. No conversion needed.

Excel shows a "possible data loss" warning when I open the export. Is my data safe?

Yes, completely safe. This is a standard Excel warning that appears with any CSV file. Just click "Keep Current Format" to proceed.

Can I import existing spreadsheets?

Not currently. Start by adding your current production assets in ReelStylePro. You can export your data anytime as a CSV and merge it with old spreadsheets manually if needed.

AI Features

What AI features does ReelStylePro have?

Two. First, when you upload a photo, AI automatically suggests a category (Wardrobe, Props, or Locations) and an asset name — saving you time on set. Second, search understands natural language — type "blue dress from the party scene" and it finds the right asset even if those exact words aren't in the description.

Account & Access

Can multiple people on my team use the account at the same time?

Yes. Share your login credentials with your team. Everyone can be logged in simultaneously and will see the same data in real time.

I forgot my password. How do I reset it?

Click "Forgot password?" on the login page and enter your email. You'll receive a reset link immediately.
