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 directly from the list view.
Reordering columns
Section titled “Reordering columns”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.
Custom columns
Section titled “Custom columns”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.
Shot numbering format
Section titled “Shot numbering format”Three formats are supported:
- Alphanumeric —
1A,2C. Scene + letter. - Decimal —
1.1,2.3. - Sequential —
1,2,47. 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.
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 slider 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”“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.
