Gorilla Scheduling Online is Jungle Software’s browser-based film and television scheduling application. You can import a screenplay, break down scenes, organize elements, build and rearrange a stripboard, create shooting days, manage cast and crew information, generate production reports, and collaborate with your team, all from a web browser.

Simply sign in from a supported browser on your computer to access your Gorilla Online account and projects.

Gorilla Online works best with current versions of major modern browsers, including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, and Firefox.

For the best experience, keep your browser updated to the latest available version. Very old or unsupported browser versions may not display or function correctly.

Section 2: Gorilla Scheduling Online

It can use details such as your production schedule, answers to budgeting questions, and the budget level you select to help generate an initial budget that you can then review and adjust in Gorilla Budgeting Online.

Budget Assistant AI is still in development, so its features and availability may change before release.

Section 4: Accounts & Subscriptions

Yes. Gorilla Online offers a Free plan that lets you get started without a paid subscription.

The Free plan includes a limited set of features compared with the paid plans, making it a good way to explore Gorilla Scheduling Online or Gorilla Budgeting Online before upgrading. Some advanced features, including collaboration, certain reports and exports, fringes, and integrated Gorilla Ratebook access, require a paid plan.

The Free, Solo, Production, and Studio plans are designed for different levels of use.

Free is for getting started and exploring the core Gorilla Online workflow with limited features. Solo is intended for individual filmmakers who need more complete scheduling or budgeting tools without team collaboration. Production adds collaboration and broader project capabilities for working productions. Studio is designed for larger teams and organizations that need the highest level of access, collaboration, and project capacity.

Specific limits and included features vary between Gorilla Scheduling Online and Gorilla Budgeting Online, so customers should check the current plan comparison before choosing a subscription.

Yes. You can upgrade or change your Gorilla Online plan as your needs change.

If you start with the Free or Solo plan and later need additional projects, collaboration, higher limits, or more advanced features, you can move to a higher plan. Available features and limits will update based on the plan you select.

You can cancel your Gorilla Online subscription from your account’s subscription or billing settings.

Your cancellation will stop future renewals, and your current paid access will continue through the end of the applicable billing period. After the subscription ends, your account and projects will be handled according to the current Gorilla Online retention and access policies.

If you cancel a Gorilla Online subscription, your paid access continues through the end of your current billing period.

After the subscription ends, your projects are retained for a limited period rather than deleted immediately. During that retention period, you can still access your account and export your project data, even if the projects are no longer editable under your current plan.

Projects may be deleted after the retention period expires, subject to the current Gorilla Online Terms of Service.

Yes. After your paid Gorilla Online subscription ends, you can still export your project data during the applicable retention period, even if the project is locked or no longer editable under your current plan.

To invite collaborators, open the project you want to share and use the collaboration or team settings to send an invitation.

Enter the collaborator’s email address and choose the appropriate role or permissions. The collaborator will receive an invitation and can join the project using their own Gorilla Online account.

The number of collaborators and available permission levels depend on your subscription plan.

Yes. Collaborators can be assigned different roles and permissions so you can control what each person is allowed to do within a shared project.

This allows Gorilla Online to manage invitations, permissions, collaboration activity, and project access separately for each person. The number of collaborators you can invite depends on your subscription plan.

Section 6: Schools & Education

School Mode is a Gorilla Online feature designed for film schools, universities, and instructors using Gorilla with students.

Projects students create separately outside the school or class workspace remain private and are not part of School Mode.

Yes. In School Mode, professors or instructors can view student projects that are part of the school or class workspace.

This allows instructors to review student work, follow project progress, and provide guidance during the course. Personal projects that a student creates outside the school or class workspace are not visible to the professor through School Mode.

Yes. When a student is invited into School Mode, the professor or instructor can view all projects created by that student within Gorilla Online.

This allows the instructor to review the student’s work and progress throughout the course. Students should be aware that projects created under an account participating in School Mode are visible to the professor or instructor.

No. If a student is participating through a School or Educational subscription, they do not need to purchase a separate individual subscription for class use.

Each student should have their own Gorilla Online account and be added to the school’s licensed seats. If a student wants to use Gorilla Online independently outside the school subscription, they would need their own separate subscription.

School licenses are designed to give instructors and students access to Gorilla Online for classroom use, including School Mode features that allow professors or instructors to review student projects.
