The script editor is the heart of Precut. This is where you write your script, organize your ideas, and associate your footages to your paragraphs.
Back to Precut Guide
You can write here just like in any text editor. Use the classic shortcuts — Cmd+B for bold, Cmd+I for italic.
Think of each new paragraph as a cut in your video — every one of them can be linked to a footage clip.
Everything in Precut is accessible from the keyboard. Type / anywhere in the script and a menu will appear with all the available actions.
After the /, type the first few letters of what you're looking for — /tit will suggest Title, /com will suggest Comment, and so on. Use the arrow keys to navigate and Enter to confirm.
Use titles to structure your script. They are not exported to the timeline.
`# My title
Or type /title to insert one from the slash menu.
Add notes or editing instructions to a paragraph without affecting the script content. Comments are exported to the timeline — your editor will see them.
My paragraph text.
// Your note here — e.g. "zoom in on my face here"
Or type /comment to insert one.
