In this article I’ll show you how you can generate reports in Fade In that will help you with your script breakdown or to give you some statistics about your script you may actually be surprised about.

To compile reports in Fade In, go to “Production – Reports”.

Those are the reports you can create:

Scene Report

This gives you a detailed breakdown of every scene, the scene number, heading, page number, length in eighths and the number of dialogues of a character. The first time a character appears in the report his or her name is formatted in capital letters.
