Scenes

ShotGlide lets you organize your project by scene. Keep every storyboard in your film close at hand, and jump between scenes with a single tap.

Open the sidebar

Tap the menu button on the top-left of the top toolbar.

The sidebar shows your project and all of its scenes. It opens with your current scene in view.

Rename a project

Double-tap the project name to rename it.

Create a scene

Tap the + button next to the project name.

To create many scenes at once from your script, use Auto create scenes at the bottom of the sidebar.

Switch scenes

Tap any scene to open it.

Reorder scenes

Drag a scene using its handle on the left and drop it anywhere in the list.

Scene menu

Tap the ... button on a scene to rename, duplicate, freeze / unfreeze numbers, or move a scene to Trash. Each choice is detailed below:

Rename a scene

Tap Rename scene to rename it. You can also double-tap a scene to rename it.

Scene names can be up to 80 characters. Long names fade out at the end when space is short.

Duplicate a scene

Tap Duplicate scene to create a copy of a scene.

The duplicate contains all scene data: shot order, linked shots, parked shots, drawings, and images.

The duplicate is a separate scene. Changes to one do not affect the other.

This is useful for trying alternate cuts or variations without affecting your original scene.

Freeze Shot Numbers

Freezing locks all current numbers in a scene, useful once your numbering is shared with your team. See Freeze Shot Numbers for more

Move a scene to Trash

Tap Move to Trash, then confirm. You can restore the scene from the Trash later. If it was the open scene, the next scene opens.

To reverse right away, tap Undo in the toast message that briefly appears in the top right.

Select several scenes

Tap Select at the bottom of the scene list, then tick the scenes you want:

• Select all — ticks every scene

• Trash — moves all ticked scenes to the Trash in one go

Tap Select again to leave. To reverse right away, tap Undo in the toast message that briefly appears in the top right.

Select only appears when the project has more than one scene.
