Whats the fastest way to enter breakdown information?
Creating the script breakdown can be a painstaking and laborious process. It is important to remember that your attention to detail during this process pays off in a big way when all the information is there at your fingertips when you need it during production. That said, try to do things in a logical order. Anything you have to go in and re-do will take far more time than doing it right the first time. Have your scenes pre-numbered on your script, and create your cast list before you start breaking down scenes. Print out the cast list (with part numbers) so you have it to refer to as you enter your scene information. Enter as much information as possible from the Scenes Browser. For your cast, use the edit-in-place feature by clicking on the Add Cast button, typing in a cast part number, and using the down arrow to add additional cast. When several scenes have similar locations, characters, props, etc., highlight the scene and use the Scene Copy button, and then change the scene numb
