Frequently Asked Question Posted 06/02/2026

Can I use my own scene and shot numbering format in MovieSlate? My screenplay software uses a scheme like '81' for scene 8, shot 1 instead of the standard '8A' format.

Yes — MovieSlate accepts any text you enter in the Scene and Shot fields, so you are free to use whatever numbering scheme fits your workflow.
For example:

  • If your software uses 81 to mean scene 8, shot 1, simply type 81 in the Shot field.
  • You could also use a delimited format like 8.1 or 8.11 for scene 8, shot 11.

MovieSlate does not enforce any particular format, so as long as your crew understands the scheme you are using, there is no problem from MovieSlate's point of view.
