Practise the import with a fictional script that comes with OpenFrame, without needing a file of your own.
Before you start
- A project is open and the Import Screenplay dialog is open on step 1.
Steps
Under OR OPEN A SAMPLE SCRIPT, look at the four buttons.
The line above them says: Fictional scripts written and owned by OpenFrame, for learning the app. The buttons are Example Feature, Example Short, Example Scene and FDX Interchange Test.
Click a sample, for example Example Feature. It turns orange to show it is chosen.
Only one sample is chosen at a time. Click another to switch. Preview is the next step.
Click Preview, check the counts and scenes, then click Import.
The preview works the same as for your own file. For Example Feature it shows 36 scenes and 10 characters.
Click Open Screenplay to read the imported sample.
The sample arrives as a new screenplay in your project.
What you get
