Frequently Asked Questions

I'm both the Director and Director of Photography on my project. Is there a way to have my name appear only once in reports as 'Dir/DP' instead of appearing twice in two separate fields?

MovieSlate has separate DIR and DP fields on the slate that map to their equivalents in formatted and NLE reports. For pre-formatted reports there is no way to merge these into a single labeled field, but you have two good workarounds depending on the report type you use:
For free-form reports (Plain Text, CSV, Formatted HTML):

1. Go to Settings > History Reports > Report Contents.
2. Either relabel the DIR or DP field to Dir/DP, or use one of the Data1–Data6 custom fields and label it Dir/DP.
3. Enter your name in that single field and leave the other (or both original fields) out of the report layout.
