Import Shared Lining Layers for Already Partially Lined Scenes
L
Laura Jean Bransky
Many times productions shoot with multiple units and script supervisors simultaneously, and in some instances multiple script supervisors on the same production are lining the same scene. To ensure that slates aren't accidentally repeated, it is
crucial
that script supervisors on the same production are able to combine and reconcile their slates/tramlines when sharing and importing lining layers for partially lined scenes. As of right now, if a script supervisor has already partially lined a scene in their script, and they try to import a shared lining layer that has partial lining in that same scene, they are met with a vague error dialog that the layer cannot be imported. This applies to the following cases:
- When the slates are the exact same on the script's current lining layer and the imported layer. Scriptation currently doesn't check for exact duplicates to eliminate redundancies.
- Even when the slates and/or their numbering are different. Scriptation currently isn't able to combine all the slates within a script's current lining layer and the imported layer to create a single merged lining for that scene.
Please address this bug as soon as possible, thank you!!!
