The Movie Magic Scheduling 10 manual states schedules save as .mmsx, legacy MMS6 files open in a temporary state and are saved to .mmsx with imported strips placed in the Boneyard, schedules export to MMS6 .msd and to .mbl for Movie Magic Budgeting 7/10, and Day Out of Days uses a table of 'the most common letter codes' (W, S, F, H, D, P and others), not stated to be complete.

The Movie Magic Scheduling 10 manual states schedules save as .mmsx, legacy MMS6 files open in a temporary state and are saved to .mmsx with imported strips placed in the Boneyard, schedules export to MMS6 .msd and to .mbl for Movie Magic Budgeting 7/10, and Day Out of Days uses a table of 'the most common letter codes' (W, S, F, H, D, P and others), not stated to be complete.

Curator qualifications: 'What Comes Across', Scene Header field formats, layout/report/template extensions and report Excel availability (E3-E5, E7) not reinspected. One-direction round-trip detail (F0) and DOOD-as-vocabulary (F2 synthesis) kept as producer statements. Text only; no schedule file opened or exported. Curator amendment CA-AM-0097 (2026-10-22): Re-fetched 2026-10-22; all three pages are byte-equal to the producer pins: S15 852ef198e7592321, S16 20034e8e8293fac6, S12 f24b67687515af5e. S15 'What Comes Across': MMS10 'creates every element property defined in your Movie Magic Scheduling 6 categories, along with the fields defined in Category Settings'. Interior/Exterior and Time of Day are preserved. Red Flags import as Red Flags, 'one per day, and are not converted to Events'. Names with quantities (e.g. 'POLICE CARS (10)') import as written. S16 Scene Header field formats, usable as import-validation rules. All fields are optional. Scenes: text, may be a comma-separated list. I/E, Set, TOD, Location and Script Day: single-select elements whose custom options become shared. Sunrise: 24-hour HH:MM, hours 00-11. Sunset: HH:MM, hours 12-23. On a scheduled day the earliest sunrise and latest sunset flow to the banners. Pg(s): whole pages plus eighths, and more than 8 eighths recalculates. Shoot Time: a number intended as HH:MM but 'the system does not enforce that model'; MMS6 Estimated Time imports here. Screen Time: a number meant as MM:SS, also not enforced. Script Pgs: text. S12: 'EXPORT EXCEL to download a spreadsheet (available on select reports)'. So Excel export is not universal, and which reports offer it was not listed in the passage read. Producer E3-E5 and E7 are confirmed. For agents: Shoot Time and Screen Time have no enforced format, so imported values need explicit unit checks. The layout/report/template extensions (.MMSL/.MMSR/.MMST) were not on these pages and were not re-read.

Limitations: Vendor manual, live pages (Last-Modified Sept-Oct 2026 per producer).

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
