71 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? Posted 06/24/2026 Script Dept
72 Q. I tried to add a new Scene D and drag it into place between Scene C and Scene E, but it won't move. How do I add a scene and put it where it belongs in my breakdown? Posted 06/24/2026 Script Dept
73 Q. I can get the sync beeps and pre-roll countdown to play from the MovieSlate slate tab, but they don't work when I'm logging from the Sound Dept tab. Is that a bug, or are those features not available there? Posted 06/24/2026 Sound Dept
74 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? Posted 06/24/2026 Script Dept
75 Q. Several years ago I bought MovieSlate and a timecode sync plug-in for over $100. Is there any way to get that app back without paying again? Posted 06/24/2026 Sales
76 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? Posted 06/24/2026 Script Dept
77 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? Posted 06/24/2026 Script Dept
78 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? Posted 06/24/2026 Script Dept
79 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? Posted 06/24/2026 General
80 Q. Someone sent me a share code to download a shared MovieSlate project, but when I try to use it I get an "invalid" error. Does the code expire, and what can I do? Posted 06/24/2026 MovieSlate Cloud
