If you are typing in the script, leave a blank line, then put the character name in upper case, then put the dialog on the next line: When importing a text file Rehearser needs to distinguish the character names from the dialog. The format of the plain text file is fairly flexible, but there are some specific requirements which are summarised below. This file could have been typed into a PC/Mac or perhaps created by copy-and-paste from another source. Script Rehearser can import from a Text (.txt) file. The text file could then be reformatted and loaded using the Text Importer (see below), although depending on the script quite a lot of reformatting may be needed. If it isn't, the file might still import but it may end up formatted incorrectly.Ī fallback method if a PDF contains the actual text but won't import is to open it in another app on a PC/Mac and 'Save As' Text.
In particular, the indentation of the character names and dialog etc must be consistent throughout the file. If you try to import a file like this then the app will be unable to detect the character names and will not import the file. Sometimes PDF files contains pictures/scans of the script pages instead of the text itself. The PDF file must contain the actual text of the script. It will then create the characters and lines in the app. The importer will automatically detect the format of many screenplays and stageplays. Script Rehearser can import many common script formats straight from a PDF file. To make it easier you'll probably want to create the characters first, so you know who each line is for You can always add some of the text later if you want to. You can create a script within the app, then just record your lines using the Record / Edit screen. This method is suitable for relatively small scripts, but if you have a longer one then you might want to create a text file using a word processor on your device, PC or Mac, then import that instead. This will allow you to create scenes, characters, dialog and stage directions. You can create a script within into the app, then type the lines in using the Record / Edit screen. You can then then choose how you want to create the script: You can load an existing script from a file or create one from within the app.įrom the Script Library screen use the Add Script button.
