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.
Column visibility
Section titled “Column visibility”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.
Reordering columns
Section titled “Reordering columns”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, row height, numbering format, and custom columns — not column order.
Custom columns
Section titled “Custom columns”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.
Shot numbering format
Section titled “Shot numbering format”Three formats are supported, shown in the overlay with live samples:
- US —
1A,1B,1C. Scene + letter. - EU —
1.1,1.2,2.1. - UK —
1,2,3. Continuous through the project.
These are the same three formats the AV Script and Storyboard display settings offer, under the same names. 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.
Script sidebar, auto-scroll, and dates
Section titled “Script sidebar, auto-scroll, and dates”Three more rows live in the overlay:
- Script Width — how much of the window the script sidebar takes when it’s open, from 30% to 50%.
- Script Auto-scroll — whether the script sidebar follows along as you move through the list.
- Date Format —
M/D/Y,D/M/Y, orY-M-D. This one is app-wide: the same setting appears in the Display menus across CineLog, and changing it anywhere changes it everywhere, including exported PDFs that print dates.
Row height and display mode
Section titled “Row height and display mode”Shift + M toggles between compact and expanded row heights. Display Settings has a finer control if you want an in-between size.
Sync across devices
Section titled “Sync across devices”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.
If this isn’t working
Section titled “If this isn’t working”“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.
