• Shot — a planned camera setup. Lives inside a scene.
• Scene — a group of shots that share narrative context. Numbered.
• Scene block — the visual grouping of a scene’s shots in the list, with the scene header as its first row.
• Banner — a non-shot row marking a schedule event — crew call, meals, company move, estimated wrap, and other call-time events — or a custom label. Appears in Production view and on the call sheet schedule; edits in either place stay in sync. See Linear vs Production.
• Linear view — script-order view of the shot list.
• Production view — shoot-day order view of the shot list. Has scene-scope selection rules; see Linear vs Production.
• Production Day — a scheduled shoot day. Production view groups shots by Production Day.
• Focus mode — single- or multi-scene filter on the shot list. See Focus mode.
• Selection mode — the persistent mode a list enters when one or more rows are selected. Gestures route differently; see The basics.
• Previs — a reference image attached to a shot. Images only — video can’t be attached as previs.
• AV Script — the two-column Audio / Visual script for timed spots, kept in sync with the Linear Shot List. One per project; see AV Script.
• Review round — a numbered pass of client review of the AV Script. Each sendout to the client starts a new round and sets rows back to Review; see Client review.
• Review link — the link emailed to the client for leaving feedback on the AV Script.
• GFX — a graphics-overlay entry attached to a shot, shown in the AV Script.
• Storyboard View — one of the storyboard’s display modes: Linear (the default, script-order strip) or Grid. The view applies to the whole project’s storyboard.
• Cast & Crew View — a sub-section of Cast & Crew in the navigation (e.g. Contacts).
• CineSync — the sync engine that persists edits to the device and propagates them to the server and other devices.
• Breakdown — the tagging pass that lists every production element the script calls for, category by category. See Script Breakdown.
• Element — one item in the breakdown (a prop, a costume, a character). Tagged in one or many scenes; see Script Breakdown.
• Tag — one occurrence of an element in the script: the underlined words in a scene.
• Cast number — the number a Talent slot carries, printed next to the actor on call sheets. See Managing Cast & Crew.
• Talent slot — a cast-group role slot in Cast & Crew, vacant or filled, optionally linked to a character from the breakdown.
• Custom role — a workspace-defined crew role, living in the Custom department. See Managing Cast & Crew.
• Scene lock — freezes scene numbers; new scenes get letter numbers (78A) and removed scenes become OMITTED. See Script lock & revisions.
• Page lock — freezes pagination and issues the draft; later material flows onto A-pages. See Script lock & revisions.
• Revision — one colored round of changes after Page Lock (Blue, Pink, Yellow…), marked with asterisks and a page-corner note.
• Omitted scene — a locked scene whose content is removed but whose number stays, shown as an OMITTED tombstone. Restorable.
• Title page — the first, unnumbered page of the script, edited in place with eight fixed fields. See Writing & formatting.
• Import review — the screen every script import goes through, showing each change for accept/reject before it’s applied. See Importing scripts.
