How do I export my lining as a PDF for my editor?

After a day on set, exporting the details of the shoot is easy with the dedicated Editor Export tool.

📝 NOTE: Lining Tools is an Industry Pro feature.

📝 NOTE: This video shows an older user interface and some of the exact steps may have changed.

✅ TIP: Multiple people collaborating on lining the same script? See How do I use Share Lining?.

Open the Editor Export (Scriptation 6.0.0 and later)

Tap the three-dot menu (...) at the top right;
Tap Export Lining;
Tap Editor Export.

Open the Editor Export (legacy path)

If you're on a Scriptation version before 5.1.16:

Tap the Lining icon:

Tap the ... at the top of the window, then select Editor Export.

Select scenes and export

Both paths converge here.

Check the circles of the scenes you want to export, then tap OK.

In the export window, the script pages corresponding to your selected scenes (and the added pages before, within, and after those scenes) are checkmarked. To make edits to the selected pages, tap the black circles. When ready, tap Export.

✅ TIP: Looking for all of your slates? If you have more than one page (layer) of slates, Editor Export will automatically double the script page when creating the export. All slates will appear on the export.

Give the new file a name. Tap Save.

Select a location to save the export, then tap Select. The export begins.

The export opens in a new tab. To adjust the document — including rearranging or locking the page order — tap Edit. To exit, tap the Page Manager icon.

⚠️ HEADS UP: Editor Export automatically doubles script pages to display all slates. The image below shows Scene 1 doubled.

To share the Editor Export, tap the (...) icon on the top right and tap Quick Export.

📝 NOTE: Editor Export only exports tramlines and annotations within Lining Layers (named Lining, Lining 2, etc.). To share annotations from all layers, merge layers of notes into the Lining Layer.

📝 NOTE: Automatically generated Info Layers (Dialogue Numbers, 8th Page Counts, etc.) are not included in Editor Exports by default. To include them, see How do I include dialogue numbering (and other info layers) in my Editor Exports?.
