Cirkus for Video Production
The all-in-one video production project management software for scheduling crews, managing resources, and tracking every task from pre-production to final delivery. Replace scattered tools with one streamlined system built for modern production teams.
Four steps from brief to final delivery
Cirkus combines project management and production scheduling in one platform, helping teams structure their work, remove bottlenecks, and build a smoother workflow from pre-production through to delivery.
Project Initiation
Create a project, define your phases (pre-production, production, post-production) and give every deliverable a clear starting point.
Resource & Crew Scheduling
View real-time availability for editors, producers, cameras, studios, and suites. Eliminate conflicts and double bookings before they happen.
Active Task Tracking
Assign tasks to the right people, set clear deadlines, and track progress at every stage. Always know what’s been completed, what’s in progress, and what needs attention.
Collaboration & Review
Keep feedback, approvals, and status updates inside the project — not buried in email threads and chat messages.
What video production teams can do with Cirkus?
Cirkus helps video teams build clearer production schedules, coordinate hand-offs smoothly, and stay on top of every deadline.
From pre-production to post, it supports a more predictable workflow so work moves forward without the usual manual follow-ups.
Everything a production team actually needs
Purpose-built tools for the way video teams really work – not generic software retrofitted for production. Manage projects, schedules, people, and budgets in one place
Resource Scheduling
See real-time availability for every editor, producer, and studio suite before you commit to a shoot date. Eliminate double bookings and always know when you need to bring in additional kit or crew.
Requests
Centralise incoming project requests so nothing gets missed and every new job enters your workflow in an organised, consistent way.
Project Planning
Map out your full production timeline with Gantt-style phases and milestones. Spot bottlenecks before they become delays, keep stakeholders aligned, and give every stage of production a clear start and end point.
Team Collaboration
Every project and every task has its own comments, attachments, and status updates built in — so context lives exactly where the work happens. Nothing gets missed because everything is in one place, visible to the right people at the right time.
Quotes and Rates
Build accurate client quotes in minutes using drag-and-drop predefined pricing. Track time and resources against each project to protect your margins, avoid scope creep, and make sure every invoice reflects the work actually delivered.
Time Reporting
Log hours against specific projects and tasks so you always know where time is going. Use that data to improve future estimates, justify costs to clients, and make sure no billable work slips through the cracks.
How Blue Juice scaled their production without the stress
Before Cirkus, Blue Juice had tried several project management platforms. The problem wasn’t the tools themselves — it was that they were built for everyone, which meant Blue Juice were constantly bending them to fit production workflows. Cirkus was different: the workflow was already there.
“For me, I use it extensively for creating quotes. It saves probably 90% of the time it used to take manually creating quotes. I can quickly drag and drop and create predefined pricing for various elements”
Today, Cirkus runs across the entire company:
- Monitoring all active projects and new business
- Tracking post-production edits through internal and client review
- Supporting the accounts team with invoicing
- Managing kit resources and flagging when additional hire is needed

The results speak for themselves
Cirkus brings project planning, scheduling, collaboration, and budget management into one responsive workspace — so production teams spend less time managing tools and more time delivering great work.

Scalability
Whether you’re running a single commercial or managing multiple simultaneous productions, Cirkus scales with you — without adding administrative overhead or complexity.
Faster Quotes
Build accurate quotes in a fraction of the time using drag-and-drop predefined pricing. What used to take hours now takes minutes, freeing up time for the work that actually matters.
FAQ
Learn how Cirkus helps teams improve planning, scheduling, collaboration
and post-production delivery
What is video production project management software?
Video production project management software gives production teams a single system to plan shoots, assign work, schedule crew and resources, track every task, and manage client deliverables — from pre-production through to final delivery. Cirkus brings all of that into one platform so nothing falls through the cracks.
How does video production workflow software improve production teams?
It replaces the combination of spreadsheets, email threads, and disconnected tools most teams rely on. With everything in one place — schedules, tasks, feedback, budgets — handoffs are cleaner, visibility is higher, and the team spends less time on coordination and more time on the actual work.
Can Cirkus support both pre-production and post-production workflows?
Yes. Cirkus is built to manage the full production lifecycle. Define phases from development and pre-production through to shoot, edit, review, and final delivery. Every phase has its own tasks, dependencies, and team members, so nothing gets lost in the handoff between stages.
How is Cirkus different from other project management tools?
General project management tools are built for everyone, which means production teams spend time bending them to fit. Cirkus is purpose-built for media and production workflows — crew scheduling, shoot planning, resource availability, quotes, and client review are all built in from the start, not bolted on.
Does Cirkus work for smaller production companies
Yes. Cirkus works just as well for a small team running a handful of projects as it does for a company managing multiple simultaneous productions. You use what you need and scale from there.
