1 Q. When I type a long shot description in History (the Frame A and Frame B fields), the text keeps shrinking until it's too small to read. Is there a way to keep it full-size or pop open a bigger editor? Posted 06/29/2026 General
2 Q. A scene I only partially shot is showing up as complete in my Progress Report. How do I get it to count as partial instead? Posted 06/28/2026 Script Dept
3 Q. When I tap the circle to mark a take, the numbered bubble lands all the way over at the far right edge of my script page. How do I control where it shows up? Posted 06/28/2026 Script Dept
4 Q. Our crew can't get our iPads/iPhones to sync with each other on our studio's locked-down Wi-Fi network. One device never shows the others, and the 'Choose Remote Control' option never appears. What do we need our IT or Wi-Fi people to change? Posted 06/27/2026 WiFi Device Sync
5 Q. I take photos linked to individual takes, but no matter how I export Facing Pages or Editor's Log reports, the photos are never included. How do I get them to appear? Posted 06/27/2026 Script Dept
6 Q. 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? Posted 06/27/2026 Script Dept
7 Q. I need a substitute to cover for me. How do I get my projects and data over to another script supervisor's device? Posted 06/27/2026 MovieSlate Cloud
8 Q. My scene has both nudity and VFX, but the breakdown column only seems to accept one entry. How do I add more than one tag or prefix to the same scene? Posted 06/27/2026 Script Dept
9 Q. Can I enter my report distribution email addresses ahead of time so they're ready to go each day, instead of typing them in every time I send reports? Posted 06/26/2026 General
10 Q. My Progress Report is using the scene durations I estimated during pre-production breakdown, not the actual times each scene ran on set. Shouldn't the report update with the real times as I shoot each day? Posted 06/26/2026 Script Dept
