00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,720
A rewrite should open possibilities, not erase your past. Keep

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,740
named drafts and compare what changed. Choose File, then Save

3
00:00:09,740 --> 00:00:14,280
Named Draft (Command or Control plus Alt plus S) and

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,000
give the state a name, say “Draft 2 before notes”

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,620
or “State producer meeting”. Federio Dramatize stores a copy of

6
00:00:22,620 --> 00:00:25,960
the entire text in the project. Your text stays as

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,860
it is; you simply keep writing. File, then Manage Drafts

8
00:00:30,860 --> 00:00:35,240
lists all saved states with date. “Restore” replaces the current

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,460
text with the chosen draft; “Delete Draft” removes it. The

10
00:00:39,460 --> 00:00:41,940
current state appears in the list as well, so you

11
00:00:41,940 --> 00:00:45,224
can compare it with a draft. The tool “Compare Drafts”

12
00:00:45,224 --> 00:00:50,420
(command search, palette or Production, then Revision Comparison) lays two

13
00:00:50,420 --> 00:00:54,300
states side by side: two drafts, or a draft and

14
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:58,900
the current text. Federio Dramatize shows paragraph by paragraph what

15
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:02,340
was added, changed or cut, and marks the changed words

16
00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:05,960
within a paragraph. You can accept or reject each change

17
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:10,520
individually; “Accept All and Finish” and “Reject All and Finish”

18
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,740
do it in one go. Production, then Change Tracking switches

19
00:01:14,740 --> 00:01:18,520
on a mode in which Federio Dramatize continuously records every

20
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,060
text and paragraph change against a starting state, much like

21
00:01:22,060 --> 00:01:26,180
“Track Changes” in a word processor. New words, deleted words

22
00:01:26,180 --> 00:01:28,880
and moved paragraphs appear in a list from which you

23
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,500
can accept or reject them individually or all at once.

24
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:35,840
This suits working with an editor: you see exactly what

25
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,940
the other person touched. Try these tools on a copy

26
00:01:38,940 --> 00:01:42,140
of your screenplay. Keep what helps your writing, and return

27
00:01:42,140 --> 00:01:44,080
to the guide whenever you need the details.
