51 Q. When lining my script in Script Dept, is there a way to tell MovieSlate to automatically draw a straight line versus a squiggly (dialogue) line for a specific character? Posted 06/09/2026 Script Dept
52 Q. I shared my lined script with another user and they can't see my coverage lines, even though I can see them on my copy. How do I make my markup visible to others — and how do I change existing annotations between public and private? Posted 06/05/2026 Script Dept
53 Q. My editor needs my script in .txt format for Avid ScriptSync. Can MovieSlate export the script as a plain text file? Posted 06/05/2026 Script Dept
54 Q. I'm new to MovieSlate and want to learn how to use it. Is there a user guide, training videos, or other resources available? Posted 06/05/2026 General
55 Q. I drew coverage lines on my script page, but when I go back or start drawing on the next page, the lines I already drew have shifted or moved to different positions. How do I prevent this? Posted 06/05/2026 Script Dept
56 Q. Ever since the latest iPadOS update, the Script Dept tab keeps disappearing from MovieSlate. I've done Restore Purchases and it comes back, but it disappears again the next time I open the app. How do I fix this permanently? Posted 06/03/2026 Script Dept
57 Q. I have 'Auto-Save Performance Laps' turned on in MovieSlate, but my stopwatch laps are not showing up in the take notes or shot history. What am I missing? Posted 06/02/2026 Script Dept
58 Q. 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. Posted 06/02/2026 General
59 Q. I have a production with pre-shoot days I want to label as Day -1 or Day -2, but I already have a Day 0 and Day 1 logged. How do I use the Search & Replace feature in MovieSlate to reassign those early shooting days to negative day numbers? Posted 05/27/2026 Script Dept
60 Q. I sent my annotated script to another script supervisor but they can't see any of my markup lines — only the logging data shows up. How do I fix this, and how do I control which annotations are public or private? Posted 05/26/2026 Script Dept
