Frequently Asked Questions

When I import MovieSlate's CSV into DaVinci Resolve I have to rename the FILE column to match DaVinci's 'File Name' column, which means editing the CSV in Excel first. Can I rename the FILE field label inside MovieSlate so it exports the way I need?

Yes. MovieSlate lets you apply a custom label to the Camera FILE field, and that custom label flows through to the CSV export — so you can match a destination column like DaVinci Resolve's File Name without editing the file afterward.

1. Go to Settings > Text Fields > Camera.
2. Tap the FILE field and enter your preferred label (for example, File Name).
3. Generate your CSV report as usual — the column header now uses your custom label, so it lines up with your NLE's expected column on import.
