Timeline for multi-episodic scripts

Causality is great! It took some time to become productive, but it’s been worth it.

So, for TV scripts spanning multiple episodes, is there some way to zero the timeline (at top of whiteboard) for each episode?

What it shows is the total runtime from the start of the first episode, but what I need is the timing relative to the current episode. This is common in TV for commercial breaks.

There isn’t right now, but it’s something we should obviously do. We already do it partially, since scene numbers already count from the beginning of each episode.

I agree, this should be very high on the list. We’re trying to get 3.5 out of the gate (with massive rewrites and the new Emotion Tracking), so I’d rather not pile more on top of that. But making this change is probably not very difficult.

Best,

Per Holmes
