Script View

Script View lets you view your storyboard and screenplay side by side.

Tap the Script View icon in the top toolbar to enter Script View.

The left column shows your shots in a vertical strip, with a thumbnail and note area for each shot. The active shot is highlighted in blue.

The right column shows your imported screenplay.

Tip: Tap a frame to return to that frame in Board View and continue drawing.

Load a screenplay

Tap Load Script in the script column, then choose a file from your iPad.

Supported formats: .fountain, .fdx, .fadein, .docx, .md, and .txt files.

You can import multiple scripts into the same project. Each script opens in its own tab at the top of the script column.

From the tabs, you can:

• Tap a tab to switch scripts

• Drag a tab with your finger to reorder it

• Tap × to close a tab

ShotGlide is private by design. Your scripts are opened and displayed locally on your device.

Add notes

Each shot has a note area for descriptions, camera directions, dialogue references, blocking notes, or anything useful during prep.

Double-tap a note area to edit it.

To stay in edit mode while moving between shots, use the single up/down chevrons in the left-column toolbar, or press Tab on an external keyboard. Press Shift + Tab to go back.

Assign script text to a shot

You can assign a script passage to the active shot.

Drag your finger to select text in the script column, then tap Assign to Shot.

The selected passage is added to the active shot’s note area.

Tap Find in Script to jump back to the passage assigned to the active shot.

Print Preview

Tap Print Preview to see how your notes will look on the page.

You can also access it from Page View, using the last layout in the center toolbar.
