Frequently Asked Question Posted 06/24/2026

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?

When you tap the New Scene button, MovieSlate creates the new scene within the ACT you're currently in. You can then reorder it, but only within that same act:

  1. Tap the Edit button.
  2. Tap and hold the thumb (drag handle) next to the scene, then drag it up or down to position it among the other scenes in that act.

If the scene needs to live in a different act, dragging won't move it across acts. Instead, tap the scene's ACT field and change it to the correct act — for example Act One, COLD OPEN, and so on. Once it's in the right act, use Edit and the drag handle to fine-tune its position there.
