00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,900
Presentation is part of the reading experience. Prepare a title

2
00:00:03,900 --> 00:00:09,000
page and a clean, consistent screenplay layout. Edit, then Page

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,980
Settings or Screenplay, then Edit Title Page open the same

4
00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:17,420
window. At the top are title, author and contact for

5
00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:21,000
the title page; below them the break rules, the header

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,800
and footer, the screenplay language, the autosave pause for this

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,240
project and the paper size. “Apply” applies everything to the

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,800
screenplay; the text itself stays unchanged. Federio Dramatize generates the

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,840
title page from title, author and contact. It appears as

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,100
the first page in page view, in the PDF and

11
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:46,160
in FDX files. The contact field may have several lines,

12
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:50,920
say name, agency and e-mail one below the other. Both

13
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,900
sizes are screenplay standards. US Letter is a little shorter

14
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:58,140
and wider than A4, so one more line fits on

15
00:00:58,140 --> 00:01:01,680
an A4 sheet. A screenplay of 100 pages on Letter

16
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,200
may have 97 pages on A4. Header and footer appear

17
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,760
on every page at the top and bottom respectively. You

18
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,560
can enter free text and insert fields with the buttons

19
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,470
that Federio Dramatize fills in when printing: title, date, revision

20
00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:22,720
(name of the current revision), page (page number) and scene

21
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,360
(number of the first scene on the page). Usual is

22
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,560
an empty header and the page number at the top

23
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,880
right; Federio Dramatize sets the page number anyway, the fields

24
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,900
are for additions such as “Blue draft – 22 Sept

25
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:42,980
2026”. Under “Page Breaks” are two boxes. “Continuation marks” writes

26
00:01:42,980 --> 00:01:44,860
a note at the end of a page and the

27
00:01:44,860 --> 00:01:47,340
start of the next when a scene runs across the

28
00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:50,960
page break (CONTINUED); you choose the language of the note

29
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,440
next to it. “Every scene on a new page” starts

30
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,300
every scene heading at the top of a fresh page,

31
00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:01,200
as some productions require for shooting drafts. In production the

32
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,940
page count must no longer change: the camera shoots “page

33
00:02:04,940 --> 00:02:08,140
42” even if you insert three more lines on page

34
00:02:08,140 --> 00:02:11,460
10. That is what the page lock is for. In

35
00:02:11,460 --> 00:02:14,920
the Revisions tab of the sidebar every revision set carries

36
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:19,020
a lock. The indents of the paragraph types (chapter 6)

37
00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:21,860
also belong to the page. They are set to the

38
00:02:21,860 --> 00:02:25,100
industry standard and stored in the project file. If a

39
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:29,000
recipient requires other measurements, drag the triangles on the ruler;

40
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,680
a double-click restores the standard. Try these tools on a

41
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,020
copy of your screenplay. Keep what helps your writing, and

42
00:02:36,020 --> 00:02:38,280
return to the guide whenever you need the details.
