Q. After I scan pages from a new script PDF, I'm seeing leftover scenes from a previous script mixed in with the new ones. Why, and how do I get a clean breakdown?

Q. Can a script supervisor use just the shot-notes/logging features and turn around an ALE/XML report without using MovieSlate's clapperboard slate — for example on a production that uses a traditional analog slate?

Q. I need to go back into a previous episode to fix something in its breakdown, then return to the episode I'm currently shooting. As long as I haven't deleted the old project, how do I switch between them?

Q. When I press Start Shot from the History tab, the button doesn't turn red and the shot gets recorded under the MovieSlate icon instead of in Script Dept. How do I make sure my shots are logged as Script Dept shots?

Q. When I'm watching my Teradek video feed on my script PDF, I can tap the camera button to grab a still that lands right on my script page. But to put a still into a Note for my Facing Pages, I have to leave the PDF, tap the Video menu, and capture from there. Is there a way to grab a still for a Note without leaving my script page while we're rolling?

Q. I'm trying to change the estimated Time of Day (TOD) value on a scene, but it keeps reverting to the original estimate no matter what I do. How do I get the TOD field to accept the value I want?

Q. I used to have Sound and Pix star ratings when logging takes, and now they're gone. Did I change a setting by mistake, or were they removed?

Q. When I started the breakdown for a new episode, all the work from the previous episode is showing up in the new episode's History. How do I start a new episode cleanly without carrying over the old data?

Q. Post is asking me to send the Editor's Log in scene order rather than day order. Is there a way to sort or re-order the Editor's Log so it's grouped by scene?
