51 Q. I need to go back into a previous episode to fix something in its breakdown, then return to the episode I'm currently shooting. As long as I haven't deleted the old project, how do I switch between them? Posted 06/24/2026 Script Dept
52 Q. Several years ago I bought MovieSlate and a timecode sync plug-in for over $100. Is there any way to get that app back without paying again? Posted 06/24/2026 Sales
53 Q. When I press Start Shot from the History tab, the button doesn't turn red and the shot gets recorded under the MovieSlate icon instead of in Script Dept. How do I make sure my shots are logged as Script Dept shots? Posted 06/24/2026 Script Dept
54 Q. When I'm watching my Teradek video feed on my script PDF, I can tap the camera button to grab a still that lands right on my script page. But to put a still into a Note for my Facing Pages, I have to leave the PDF, tap the Video menu, and capture from there. Is there a way to grab a still for a Note without leaving my script page while we're rolling? Posted 06/24/2026 Script Dept
