Why does Fade In use 37 character blocks in each line of dialogue, whereas Final Draft and Celtx use the industry standard 35? To get 35 characters per line of dialogue you have to go under Format > Adjust Line Length > Decrease Line Length (or Ctrl + Alt + J) and at the top edit 'Adjust line length' for Dialogue to -0.20".

🎥 Thank you for the "walk-about" through Fade In 101! My film-& digital content colleagues were all bragging on their expensive, complicated screenwriting apps. I am worthy. I am valuable. I can too use a cool app! I just needed the baby steps first! Good job!

How can I find / reinstall the tab bar on the right hand side (Format - Characters - Locations - Other - Dialogue/...)? It fails to show since I last downloaded an update. Hope someone can help!
When editing a saved script, such as adding Dialogue or Action, it will add a secondary page if it goes past the number of lines on the existing page. It won't move all the content to a next existing pages. For example, adding something to page 5 that doesn't fit will create a page 5A. A huge blank space will appear before Page 6 that cannot be removed by anything I can find. So, when you don't want to create a REVISION, but just add something to the existing version, how do you prevent secondary pages from being created? How do you remove all of this empty space? (Delete and backspace and Cut does nothing) Doing it to a revision does the same thing. Help and FAQ and Knowledge Base offers no help.
Thank you! Production>Unlock Page Numbers. Keeps from adding a 1A or 2A etc when editing the overall script. It will remove it if you've left it locked and add the 5A by accident. You mention it in Part 2! THANKS!!!
Is there a way to get rid of the toolbar, navigator, etc, on Fade In? I feel it's distractic, it gets in the way, like I don't want to see any of it, just the page when I write. i use Final Draft, but I'm getting tired of its constant 80$ upgrade. Everytime they do it, something gets broken in the previous version
I have a friend who is touching up my feature script by spicing up action lines and re- formatting correctly. I would like to be working on the dialogue while he is chugging along on the other stuff. Can him and I work on the same script from the cloud? or does FI not have cloud access? I'm worried about him giving me my script in chunks as I might get confused with the workflow.
Does the app have a title page?.. I been using Celtx for all my short films but can not create a real title page.without having to a real pc and create one. I want to create it all with the phone.
@Blue Hue yeah I have the desktop version. But mobile is more convenient since I do travel more then I sit at home.. guess I can jus make the title page at PC and write the script on mobile. Idk hahah jus idea hah
Can any1 answer this: Is fade in just a one time payment and you have the software for ever? Or do you need to pay for updates now and then so that you can keep using the software?
Thank you so much. This made my new life as a screenwriter so much easier.

Darcy, it's "bragging about", not "bragging on".

How can I find / reinstall the tab bar on the right hand side (Format - Characters - Locations - Other - Dialogue/...)?

This is great writing your screenplay on Fade in but what if you've written a script manually and you paste it to Fade In?
When editing a saved script, such as adding Dialogue or Action, it will add a secondary page if it goes past the number of lines on the existing page. It won't move all the content to a next existing pages. For example, adding something to page 5 that doesn't fit will create a page 5A.

How can I enlarge toolbars? I would be happy if you help me with this... Respecr...
I downloaded the Courier Screenplay font, but it just goes to my downloads file. How do I get it into Fade In?
How do you add (V..O.) with Fade In?
how you can change read only format later than importing
Thanks a lot
I have a question, is it really need to be only in first person point of view/first person perspective? Is third person point of view allowed?

What is a war room?
How many different devices can you use Fade In with if you do a one-time payment?
You can use it on as many computers as you like with free updates. For mobile, you'll have to pay another one-time fee of five dollars or something.
is there anyway to remove the side layout bar tab on left side? I need no distraction in between me and the white page I write
Yes, but I've forgotten the tab or key for it.
why is it always in all caps? how do I stop that?

What about the iPad iOS version can you make a title page on that?
Yeah, when i was using FI it don't have a title page that why am 👂👂 this video
Gary, if you use the FREE desktop version of Celtx (final released version is 2.9.7 available on 3rd party websites) you can create a Title Page.
@@celaeno919 Thank you . I figured some stuff out .
how do i delete unwanted scripts from Fade in ????
Navigate to the folder you saved the file in and delete. Most likely in the FadeIn folder
Can any1 answer this: Is fade in just a one time payment and you have the software for ever? Or do you need to pay for updates now and then so that you can keep using the software?
It's a one-off payment
An actual text editor for screenwriting.
