Display Settings

Display Settings controls how the shot list looks — which columns are visible, in what order, what the shots are numbered as. Settings are project-level and propagate via CineSync, so adjustments made on the desktop appear on the mobile app within seconds.

Shift + D toggles the Display Settings overlay.

Toggle any column on or off from the Display Settings overlay. For quick changes without opening Display Settings, the number keys 1 through 9 toggle the first nine columns after the pinned Status, Shot, and Day, directly from the list view.

Reorder columns by dragging a column header on the main shot list left or right. The three pinned system columns — Status, Shot, and Day — stay locked to the leftmost positions and can’t be moved.

The Display Settings overlay controls column visibility and custom columns, not column order.

Add your own columns from Display Settings by giving each a name. Custom columns hold free text. Once added, the column appears in the desktop list and in the mobile expanded view automatically — no per-platform setup. Custom columns participate in PDF export.

Three formats are supported:

  • Alphanumeric1A, 2C. Scene + letter.
  • Decimal1.1, 2.3.
  • Sequential1, 2, 47. Continuous through the project.

The format is a display preference — it changes how numbers are shown without altering the underlying shots, so you can switch between formats freely and switch back at any time.

Shift + M toggles between compact and expanded row heights. Display Settings has a finer slider if you want an in-between size.

All Display Settings are project-level and propagate via CineSync. A producer adjusting columns on their desktop will see the same column set on their iPad within seconds.

“How do I reorder columns?” Drag a column header on the main list. The pinned Status, Shot, and Day columns can’t be moved.

“I changed the shot number format and the numbers look different.” That’s expected — it’s a display-only setting. Switch back to the previous format and the original numbering reappears.

“My custom column is on desktop but not on mobile.” It should appear automatically. Try force-quitting and reopening the mobile app. If the sync indicator shows pending changes, the new column hasn’t propagated yet.
