How do I generate multi-scene lining?

Generate tramlines across multiple consecutive or non-consecutive scenes in one pass using the Lining toolkit's Multi feature.

With your script open, tap Lining on the Top Toolbar.

✅ TIP: If the Lining icon isn't showing in the Top Toolbar, touch or click the plus sign on the right side to show additional icons. To pin it permanently, see Customizing the Top Toolbar.

In the Lining window, tap the ... for additional options, then tap Multi-Scene.

Check the circles for the scenes you want to generate tramlines for, then tap OK.

📝 NOTE: Scenes not being recognized? Learn more about document formatting and flattened PDFs.

In the Multiple Scenes generator, enter your slate name, number of cameras, line colors, and characters per camera. Toggle on characters to generate straight lines across their dialogue; keep toggles off for squiggle lines. When you've made your selections, tap Generate.

In this example, the tramlines have been generated for a continuous take through non-consecutive selected scenes. The tramlines at the end of Scene 1 continue with an outgoing arrow and relate to the incoming arrow at the top of Scene 3.

📝 NOTE: You can only edit the slate to begin and end in the original scenes selected. Recreate the coverage lining to move the start or end of the line to a different scene.
