frequently asked questions
Can I track billable vs non-billable time as a freelance motion designer?
Absolutely! Use color-coded categories to separate client work from personal projects and admin tasks. You can easily see how much time you're spending on billable work versus business development or creative exploration.
What happens when renders take longer than planned?
Simply drag and drop your remaining tasks to new time slots. PlanHourly makes it easy to adjust your schedule on the fly when technical delays happen, which they always do in motion graphics work.
Does PlanHourly work well for managing multiple client projects?
Yes! You can set up recurring schedule blocks for regular clients and use different colors for each project. The visual layout helps you balance client work with your own creative development time.
