1 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
2 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
3 Q. I'm using MovieSlate's Multicam tab with my RED camera. When the DP starts rolling, MovieSlate starts a shot fine, but when he stops the camera MovieSlate thinks it's still rolling and won't stop the shot. What's going wrong? Posted 06/12/2026 WiFi Device Sync
4 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
5 Q. I'd like the video feed from Q-Take to show up in MovieSlate's Video tab, the way my old Teradek Cube did. Can MovieSlate pull in a Q-Take feed — and if not, is there a way to see both apps at once? Posted 06/12/2026 Pro Features
6 Q. I traveled to a different time zone and MovieSlate's time-of-day timecode isn't matching the new local time. My iPad shows the correct time, but the app's clock-based timecode is still on my old zone. How do I fix it? Posted 06/12/2026 Timecode Sync
7 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
8 Q. I used to sync timecode wirelessly with a Timecode Buddy, but it's no longer being made. What wireless timecode devices does MovieSlate support now? Posted 06/11/2026 Timecode Sync
9 Q. Is there a clapperboard-style case available for my iPad (for example, an iPad mini 4)? Posted 06/10/2026 General
10 Q. I'm thinking about buying a Deneke TS-3 smart slate. Can I sync it with MovieSlate 8? Posted 06/10/2026 Timecode Sync
