Crew keeps every freelancer you hire in one place: contact details, the roles they cover, and a day, half-day or hourly rate for each role.
Assign someone to a deal and their rate becomes a cost line, so your take-home is right before the shoot. Adjust it to the real invoice afterwards, log payouts, and export contractor totals at year end.
A spreadsheet can hold rates, but it cannot put them on a deal, warn you about a double booking or remind you that someone's insurance expires next month.
In VPP the same record drives costs, scheduling and tax prep, so nothing gets retyped.
Pick a crew member and role on the deal card and their saved rate fills in. Profit and take-home update immediately across Deals and Financials.
Store W-9s, contracts and insurance with expiry reminders. Log payouts as you pay, then export a per-year contractor summary with missing W-9 alerts.
Pro. Crew is included on the Pro trial and the Founding Member path.
Calendar & Booking — Schedule shoot days and invite crew straight from the calendar.
Deals & Projects — Crew assignments add cost lines to the deal.

Yes. Each crew member can have several roles, each with its own rate and basis.
No. It prepares per-contractor yearly totals and flags missing W-9s so filing is quick.
No. Video Project Pro runs a 30-day free trial with a card on file, and you can cancel in one click from inside the app at any point before it ends. There is also a Founding Member path — a 20-minute setup call, 60 days free with no card, and $29/mo locked for life — limited to the first 20 accounts.
