Frequently Asked Question Posted 06/24/2026

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?

Yes. The reason you currently have to leave your script page is that the Edit Note in Field setting is turned on, which lets you type directly into the Note field but doesn't give you the in-place still button. Turn that setting off so the full Note Editor opens instead:

  1. Go to Settings > Script Dept: Data Logging.
  2. Turn off Edit Note in Field.

Now, when you enter a Note, MovieSlate opens the Note Editor rather than letting you type directly into the field. The Note Editor displays your Teradek video feed along with a still-capture button, so you can grab the image that goes into the Note — and onto your Facing Pages — without having to switch away to the Video tab. That keeps you on your script page so you're ready to feed a line or make a continuity note the moment you need to.
