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.
