21 Q. We're already running two iPads synced as Logger A and Logger B. Can a third script supervisor join the same session, and does everyone need to be on the exact same MovieSlate version to sync? Posted 06/16/2026 App-to-App Sync
22 Q. I want my estimated scene timing to show up in my report, but I can't find an option for it in the Progress Report. How do I include it? Posted 06/12/2026 Script Dept
23 Q. 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? Posted 06/12/2026 General
24 Q. I already shot and completed a scene. Months later that scene was omitted in new page revisions. Will the previously shot page, scene, and time counts in my Progress Report change to reflect the omission — and if not, can I make them? Posted 06/12/2026 Script Dept
25 Q. I copied an annotation and pasted it onto a script page, but it doesn't appear. When I tap where it should be I can see its selection outline, yet the annotation itself stays invisible. How do I fix it? Posted 06/11/2026 Script Dept
26 Q. I imported another script supervisor's lined pages into MovieSlate, but when I updated to the latest script revision her lining/markup didn't appear on the new pages. Is that normal? Posted 06/10/2026 Script Dept
27 Q. While setting up my workspace I had to enable 'Increment Slate Numbers.' What does that setting actually mean, and do I need it? Posted 06/10/2026 General
28 Q. When lining my script in Script Dept, is there a way to tell MovieSlate to automatically draw a straight line versus a squiggly (dialogue) line for a specific character? Posted 06/09/2026 Script Dept
29 Q. I shared my lined script with another user and they can't see my coverage lines, even though I can see them on my copy. How do I make my markup visible to others — and how do I change existing annotations between public and private? Posted 06/05/2026 Script Dept
30 Q. My editor needs my script in .txt format for Avid ScriptSync. Can MovieSlate export the script as a plain text file? Posted 06/05/2026 Script Dept
