Working with Takes in the Script Window
Script integration provides a number of tools and techniques for manipulating the relationship
between lined takes in the Script window and their source clips. You can:
• Select takes.
• Add and delete takes.
You might want to delete a take if it has been applied to the wrong scene, or delete a bad take
to simplify the script interface.
• Display take numbers.
• Change the representative frame that appears in the slate for a take.
• Load and play takes in the Source monitor.
• Change the length of a take line when you find that a take or group of take lines should begin
earlier or end later in the script.
To select takes, do one of the following:
t Click any take tab to select it.
The outline of the take changes to red, indicating that the take is active.
t Double-click any line in the take to select the take and load it into a monitor.
t Shift+click additional takes in the same slate or across slates to select them.
Selecting multiple takes is especially useful when you add or delete color or off-screen
dialog indicators. See “Using Color Indicators in the Script Window” on page 645 and
“Indicating Off-Screen Dialog in a Script” on page 644.
t Drag a lasso through an entire region of the script.
