For the colors related to revisions, I would suggest including along side your color picker, some options for the standard colors for television and film. Blue, Yellow, Green, Pink, 2nd White, 2nd Blue, ETC. That way if someone wants to pick some new colors they can, but if your working on a show within the industry that uses the standard color scheme, you can just choose that option and not worried about what version of yellow you picked, it's just yellow.
@bigsnap5 If you set the "New Revision" type to "Production", those industry standard production revision options will be listed, with their name and colors pre-set for you!
Read Aloud helps me make sure my characters sound like individuals with their distinct styles of talking & that those dialogues match their moods. (And things like subtext through omission, sarcasm... etc.) Very useful feature! :D
I always do a readaloud pass before sending out any script. It will catch those spelling mistakes that don't get caught by spellcheck because they're actual words. "Puts" spelled "Putts", for example. Plus, hearing the dialogue out loud instead of how it's been in my head for ages gives me a different perspective on each line. Great software. My #1 go to!
Hi there! Pressing Enter on your keyboard will writing in WriterDuet lets you create a new line, while pressing Tab on your keyboard lets you quickly reassign that line to a different line type (Action, Character, Dialogue, etc). Enter/Tab behavior is the quickest way to change a line's type, but you can also change it by clicking on a line and selecting a specific line type icon, going to Format > Line Type or using Cmd/Ctrl keyboard shortcuts. For more in-depth info on this, check out this Knowledgebase link: www.writerduet.com/article/170-change-line-type

The layout is a little different on mobile, but you can use all of the same tools shown in this quick start guide using WriterDuet on a mobile browser or iOS mobile app!
Can you add these features? Here's a list: - Bolded, Italicized, and Underlined Headers - Unlimited Free Projects - Customizable Scene Headers and - Organizable Document folders (thanks to @ulisesotero7043)
Hey there! When you're on a blank Action line, press Tab on your keyboard to automatically change that line to a Character line. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Cmd/Ctrl+3 or click "Character" from your line type list to do the same thing. Those same steps can be found in this Knowledgebase link: www.writerduet.com/article/170-change-line-type If you follow those steps and still are running into issues, reach out to our Support Team! help@writerduet.com
Hey there! On the iOS mobile app, your available line types will be at the top of the screen. Clicking a line type will re-format whatever line you're clicked on to that new line type. If you're on a blank line, pressing the space bar on your iPad's keyboard will also toggle through those line type for you.

Thank you for reaching out to us! Creating a new script does not erase any other script you created. You would have to manually delete that project to erase it. If you have a free account, you have the ability to create up to 3 projects for free. If you want to create more than 3 projects, you would have to delete one to make room in your portfolio or upgrade to a paid subscription to access the ability of creating an unlimited number of projects. If you have any additional questions about this, reach out to our Support Team! help@writerduet.com
My deepest sorrows for them and the rest of the creative team of Inside Job, for their awesome project simply got cancelled. You guys taught us good with this one.
Hey there! In the context of Alisha and Scott's outlining process, a beat is a 1-2 sentence summary of a scene or multiple scenes that happen in a sequence. It can be used as reference when writing the actual script. An "event" is an description word for a sequence or beat used in their explanation. It's an example of something that could be written in an outline, but not required.
What would have made this video better is doing this exact thing visibily in Writer Duet? I'm a little confused as to the actions of what to choose besides reading the documentation on where to click. Thanks
Hey James! Thanks for the feedback. We can definitely do a better job of incorporating specific in-app steps to achieve this outline workflow in future videos. In the meantime, our blog post on Outlining has these specific in-app steps to take in WriterDuet to emulate Alisha and Scott's outlining process! You can check that out here: www.writerduet.com/blog/how-pro-screenwriters-outline-a-script/
You guys at Writerduet are on another level. I've been waiting ages for something like this. Still some teething issues but I'm so impressed by what you've done. I'm a lifetime fan.
