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 directly from the list view.

Drag a column row inside the Display Settings overlay to reorder. Reordering doesn’t happen by dragging the column header on the main list — that’s a frequent expectation that doesn’t apply here.

System columns — Shot, Scene, Day — are locked to the leftmost positions and refuse drops that would displace them.

Add your own columns from Display Settings. Specify a name and a type: text, dropdown, checkbox, or any other supported field type. 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.

Changing format renumbers every shot. If the script has already been lined under one format and you switch, you’ll have to re-line — there’s no undo. Confirm with anyone else working on the project before changing.

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.

“I tried to drag a column header on the main list to reorder, but nothing happens.” Reordering happens inside Display Settings (Shift + D), not on the main list header.

“I changed the shot number format and now my old numbers are gone.” The change is destructive and has no undo. Contact support — server-side history can sometimes help.

“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.
