Frequently Asked Questions

I need a substitute to cover for me. How do I get my projects and data over to another script supervisor's device?

You have two good options, and both rely on MovieSlate Cloud. Make sure your substitute has already set up a MovieSlate Cloud account in advance so you're not coordinating under a time crunch.
A practical approach: finish logging the day before, create a backup, and then use Send Shared Data to hand off your projects. If they run into any trouble, fall back to sharing the full backup.
Sharing a backup (everything, including settings):

1. Go to Settings > MovieSlate Cloud and tap Groups.
2. Tap the + button to add a new group, give it a name, and enter the email your substitute used to register their MovieSlate Cloud account. Tap Add, then Done.
3. Tap the Backup button and select the group you just created. This creates the shared backup.
4. Once your substitute accepts the group invitation they receive by email, they can restore it from Settings > MovieSlate Cloud.

1. Tap Send Shared Data and choose the project you want to share.
2. Choose MovieSlate Cloud (or AirDrop if you're both on set and on the same Wi-Fi).
3. Enter the substitute's MovieSlate Cloud email address and tap Share. MovieSlate packages the project and uploads it.
4. Your substitute receives an email with a Share Code. They open Settings > MovieSlate Cloud, tap Receive in the Shared Data section, and enter the share code.
