Frequently Asked Question Posted 06/27/2026

When the director changes their mind after I've circled a take in red, I can't figure out how to un-circle it. How do I remove a circled take?

There are three ways to un-circle (remove the red circle from) a take in MovieSlate:

  • From the Script Dept logging screen: Tap the (T) button in the Take field to display the list of circled takes, then tap a circled take to remove its circle. Note that in a multicam production, un-circling a take for one camera does not un-circle the take for the other cameras.
  • From the History tab's Shots list: Navigate to the Project > Day > Shot you need to change and double-tap the circle to remove it. In this context, un-circling will remove the circle for all cameras in a multicam production.
  • From the History tab's Shot details: Tap the Circle Take button located above the camera fields block to toggle the circle off.

If you're using an older build, we recommend updating to the latest version of MovieSlate from the App Store, as it includes a number of Script Dept fixes and improvements.
