This page will have all of the terms that are used in Filmatick.
Boundaries - these red vertical lines in the dopesheet for each shot, represent the beginning and the ending of your shot. Filmatick initially places these boundaries immediately after a shot is created but can be moved to wherever you wish. Learn more about boundaries in Create a Shot, or Tick.
Playhead - The long vertical aqua colored line with a triangle on top that shows the user where in the timeline their project is. This can be left clicked and dragged to go back and forth in time.
Reference - one part of the process is dependent on the previous part. When you create a set, the Scene Blocking is referenced to that set. Any changes that are made to that set are shown in the Scene Blocking and any related shots.
Scenes - A group of shots based on script location. Usually defined by the script as Scene Heading. Shots makeup a Scene. Scenes make up a Project. Also known as Sequences. Can be labeled as numeric (10,20,30) or alphabetical (A,B,C)
Shots - one continuous cut of a camera move.
Scene Blocking - Placing and animating characters and props in the Scene. This is akin to rehearsal blocking where actors will move from place to place.
Tick - the line in the script that signifies the start and the end of a shot. Each tick will have a tickhead that includes the name of the shot and the type of shot it is.
Tracks - Different levels in the Timeline Panel. Video has two tracks. Each Audio has by default 3 but can be added to or deleted from.
