31 Q. When I started the breakdown for a new episode, all the work from the previous episode is showing up in the new episode's History. How do I start a new episode cleanly without carrying over the old data? Posted 06/22/2026 Script Dept
32 Q. Post is asking me to send the Editor's Log in scene order rather than day order. Is there a way to sort or re-order the Editor's Log so it's grouped by scene? Posted 06/22/2026 Script Dept
33 Q. I logged some takes under the wrong project. How do I move them to the correct project so my reports come out right? Posted 06/16/2026 General
34 Q. Can I use MovieSlate on a Mac, such as a MacBook Pro, instead of an iPad or iPhone? Posted 06/16/2026 General
35 Q. I'm an AC working mostly with the Alexa 35. The MovieSlate documentation and a demo video show the app controlling an ARRI Alexa. Does that camera-control feature work with the Alexa 35? Posted 06/16/2026 Timecode Sync
36 Q. When I bring my MovieSlate markers into Avid Media Composer, every scene's locators start at 00:00:00 instead of the actual timecode we filmed, and post says they don't match. How do I get the true timecode into the markers? Posted 06/16/2026 Script Dept
37 Q. I can't find anywhere to enter a Production Company for my Camera Report — there's no field for it that I can see. Where does that value come from? Posted 06/16/2026 Script Dept

40 Q. I bought MovieSlate around 2013 and used it on my iPad, but it doesn't appear in my App Store purchases on my new iPhone — I may have used a different Apple ID back then. Can you look up my old purchase or transfer it to MovieSlate 8? Posted 06/16/2026 Sales
