The Script tab lets you mark up your script with highlights, underlines, and strikethroughs. Marks are grouped into layers you can show or hide, so you can keep separate sets of notes on the same script.
Annotations sit on top of the script. They do not change the script text or your tags.
Note: A Private layer is visible only to you. Any other layer is shared with collaborators who have annotation access to the project in Team Access. Annotations do not use Dude Coins.
Before you begin
Open a project that already has a script uploaded.
Open the scene you want to annotate. Marks apply to the scene you currently have open.
Create an annotation
Go to app.filmustage.com, and then open your project.
Go to the Script tab.
Above the script page, find the annotation toolbar and select a tool: Highlight, Underline, or Strikethrough. The toolbar also includes Eraser and Comment.
For Highlight or Underline, choose a color from the palette, or select + to pick a custom color. Strikethrough has no color.
Select the text you want to mark.
Filmustage adds the mark to your active layer. If you do not have a layer yet, Filmustage creates one for you.
Tip: Each tool has a keyboard shortcut: "H" for Highlight, "U" for Underline, "S" for Strikethrough, "E" for Eraser, and "V" for Select. To leave annotation mode, select the active tool again, or select Select.
Edit or delete an annotation
On the toolbar, select Select.
Select the mark you want to change.
In the popover, choose a new color for a highlight or underline, or select Delete to remove the mark.
To remove several marks quickly, use the Eraser: select Eraser on the toolbar, and then drag across the marks you want to remove. Filmustage erases each mark you pass over.
Organize annotations into layers
Layers let you group marks and switch whole sets on or off. A layer can be private to you or shared with your team. The Layers section is in the panel on the right.
Create a layer
In the Layers section, select New layer.
In the New annotation layer dialog, enter a Name and choose a Color.
To keep the layer visible only to you, select Private layer (only you can see it). Leave it cleared to share the layer with collaborators.
Select Create.
Filmustage adds the layer and makes it active. New marks go to the active layer.
Set the active layer
When you have two or more layers, select a layer in the Layers section to make it active. New marks go to the active layer.
Show or hide marks
Use the checkbox next to a layer to show or hide the whole layer.
Expand a layer to show or hide marks by type: Highlight, Underline, and Strikethrough.
Rename, recolor, or delete a layer
Select the options menu (the three dots) next to a layer.
Choose Rename, Change color, or Delete.
Caution: Deleting a layer permanently removes every mark in it. Filmustage asks you to confirm first.
Plans
Script annotations are available on all plans, including Free. Team layers — any layer that is not marked Private — require Team Access.
