Frequently Asked Questions

My Progress Report is totaling roughly twice what I actually shot — for example I shot 13 setups (A through N) but the report says 26, or my scene count is doubled. Where is the extra count coming from?

This almost always happens because a number has been typed into one of the correction fields on the Script Dept Setup screen — most commonly the SCENES field. MovieSlate treats those fields as a manual adjustment that is added to the work you actually logged. So if you logged 13 scenes and also entered 13 in the SCENES field, the report adds them together and shows 26. The same thing produces an inflated setup or page count.
To fix it:

1. Go to the Script Dept > Setup screen for the day in question.
2. Find the SCENES field (and any other count field you may have typed a correction into).
3. Clear the number so the field is empty, leaving MovieSlate to count only what you actually logged.
4. Re-generate your Progress Report. The totals should now match what you shot.
