Renaming Shots

You can rename your shot or change the numbering sequence of one more shots.

To rename a shot:

1. Select a panel in the shot you want to rename.

2. Do one of the following:

In the Panel Tab, click the Shot field and type in the new shot name (or number).

In the Horizontal Workspace or Vertical Workspace, select the Shot field, located above the panel.

Select Storyboard > Rename Shot to open the Rename Shot dialog box and enter the shot name in the New Name field and press OK.

3. Select the Do not show this dialog automatically option, if you want to use the current settings the next time you rename a shot.

The Rename Shot dialog box can be used to rename a shot, but its features allow you to update the numbering of multiple shots. There are two ways to renumber shots:

Update all shot numbers to increment by one number (for example, rename shots 1, 2, B, 9A, 3 to begin at 3 and renumber subsequent shots 4, 5, 6, 7)
Update all shot number prefixes to increment by one number (for example, rename shots 5, 6, 6A, 7, 7A to begin at 3 and rename subsequent panels, 4, 5A, 6, 7A)

To renumber shots:

1. Select the panel in the shot at which you want to begin renumbering.

2. Select Storyboard > Rename Shot.

The Rename Shot dialog box opens.

3. Do one of the following:

To renumber shots beginning at the selected shot, enter the number at which you want to begin numbering in the New Name field and select Renumber Shot.

To renumber the shots’ numerical prefixes beginning at the selected shot, enter the new shot name (it must begin with a number) and select Renumber Prefix Only.

The Renumbered Shot Names list will display columns with the current and updated shot names.

4. Press OK to save the new names.

Tip

When using the Renumber Prefix Only option, the selected shot name and subsequent shot names must begin with a numerical prefix.
