Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't Script Dept Breakdown recognize all my scenes?

MovieSlate locates scenes in script PDFs by identifying each scene's slugline via its indentation, capitalization, and various keywords.

In order to be recognized, sluglines should be in ALL CAPS, and contain Interior/Exterior location abbreviations such as:

INT.
EXT.
INT -
EXT -
INT / EXT

In order to avoid false positives of other words which end with INT or EXT, those abbreviations must contain a trailing period or space-dash.
