How to do each thing in ScriptLock, in the order a production does it.
Writing in your own language
Type in English letters, get Telugu. Ten format profiles, Letter and A4.
Sharing a script safely
One link per person, watermarked, expiring, revocable — and you see who read it.
Locking a draft
Script lock, coloured pages, A-pages, OMITTED, and the authorship record.
Breakdown and shot division
Sixteen categories, master element lists, shots with lenses, setups, storyboards.
The schedule
Stripboard, page-eighths, Day Out of Days, call sheets that reach a phone.
Sides
Two different documents share a name, and confusing them hands an artist the whole script.
The budget
Topsheet, globals, fringes with their wage ceilings, and budget against actuals.
On set
Annotations that survive a revision, the lined script, the take log, the DPR.
After the shoot
Subtitles counted properly, the dub pack, cue sheets, VFX drift, delivery.
Who sees what
Fourteen roles, enforced on the server. The two that matter commercially.
ScriptLock carries a script from the first line you type to the last call sheet. These guides follow that order. Each one is short, and each one says what the tool will not do as well as what it will.
