How do I enter the Talent's name, agency, role info...?

FastCastPro is integrated with Casting Networks's expansive Talent database. If you schedule using the CNI Scheduler, all of the Talent's info is automatically imported into your posting, including their name, time, role name, agency or personal contact info. You can simply drag and drop the Talent into groups and begin recording their audition.

Do I have to schedule an actor to include them on the session?

No. FastCastPro works independently from the CNI Scheduler. You can manually add Talent to a session by searching the Talent database. If they do not have a profile, you can still add them to your session using the 'Quick-Add' function. Play Video

Do you have a replacement solution for Polaroids? I need something for the actor's Size Sheets.

Yes. You can take Talent Snapshots of the actors using the video camera attached to FastCapture. The photos are used as thumbnails on the posting and as "digital polaroids" on the Talent's Size Sheets. Play Video

After I record a group, how long do I have to wait before I can start the next group?

Zero seconds! After you finish recording the audition hit the finalize button and move on! FastCapture will continue to encode the previous group's Quicktime and upload it in the background.

What if I don't want my clients to see the Talent's resume and headshot?

You have total control of what your clients see. You can show or hide headshots and resumes. You can remove contact info from Size Sheets. You can hide entire sessions from some clients, while letting other see them.

If I lose Internet access, will I lose the posting or have to wait to go back online?

No. FastCapture is a desktop application, and it can run in Offline mode. If you loose Internet for a second or an hour, FastCapture will queue the videos until you return to Online mode, when it will safely complete the uploading process.

How are groups and actors numbered? Do I type them in?

Our system was designed by former Commercial Casting Professionals, and we know how different everyone likes to organize their information. That's why we give you the option to change group and slate numbers to your protocol. You decide the starting number of the first actor and first group, then FastCastPro does the rest!
