How do I format content in the Script View?
Last updated:
Here are a few tips on how to work
Basic Formatting
- Highlight text to access options like bold, italics, underscore, text size, and text direction (e.g., for RTL languages).
Functional Formatting
- Tag text as dialogue, action, lyrics, PresenterInfo, or insert additional tags.
- Link dialogue or PresenterInfo to cast members for automatic association.
- For multi-line dialogue without repeating cast names, either use soft-returns (press the Shift key while hitting Return) or mark the dialogue and select No Speaker in the editor.
- PresenterInfo instructions and dialogue transfer automatically to cue cards and teleprompters (action text does not).
Advanced Formatting
- Use advanced options to send different dialogue to separate distribution channels (e.g., withholding lines from cue cards to surprise a host).
Multiple scene alternatives
- Multiple scene outcome alternatives can be created in the Rundown. The Script View displays only the selected option. To view all alternatives, go to the Rundown.
