BreakdownFilter the scene list
Narrow the scenes to those still to do, those with suggestions, or those using one category.
Before you start
- A production source is set.
Steps
Click Filter above the scene list.
The menu has two groups. Under Show: All scenes, Only unreviewed, Only suggested, Only missing a breakdown, Script changed, Complete and Not complete, each with the number of scenes in brackets. Under Category: Any category, Cast, Extras / Background, Location / Set, Props, Wardrobe, Vehicles, Hair / Makeup, Special Effects, VFX, Sound and Animals. A tick marks what is active.
Choose Only missing a breakdown.
The button now reads Filter scenes: Only missing a breakdown and the count above the list shows how many scenes match, here 10 of 10. This is the quickest way to find scenes you have not started.
Choose a category, for example Cast.
Only scenes that have an element in that category stay in the list. In the picture 1 of 10 scenes has Cast. You can combine a Show choice with a category.
If no scene matches, the list says No scenes match this filter.
This picture shows the Complete filter before any scene is finished, so the count reads 0 of 10. Open Filter and choose All scenes and Any category to see every scene again.
What you get
The scene list shows only the scenes you need.
Watch out for
- A filter hides scenes from the list only. Export and the catalog still use every scene.
