Create a moodboard

Steps

1. In Production, click the Moodboards tab, then click New Moodboard.

   A project with no boards shows only the heading and the New Moodboard button at the top right. Once a board exists, the page also shows Export and the board list.

2. In the New Moodboard dialog, click in the Board name * box.

   Board name * is required. Under it, seven suggestion buttons offer common names: Overall Look, Cinematography, Production Design, Costume, Lighting, Character and Location. Click one to fill the name box, or type your own name. Reference for a scene lets you tie the board to one scene of your screenplay and starts on No particular scene. That choice is optional, and the box only appears when your project has scenes.

3. If you click Create Moodboard with the name empty, read the message Give the board a name.

   Nothing is created until the board has a name. Type a name or click a suggestion, then try again. Cancel and the x at the top close the dialog without creating anything.
