Cast Panel

The Cast Panel shows what characters are in your script and active scene as well as the actors associated with those characters. On the initial load of the script, Filmatick scans your script and automatically populates this list.

To Open the Cast Panel, click on the Tab on the Lower Left corner of the software. This will open the tab in Quadrant 1 (Hotkey - Alt+9).

Open

On the RIGHT SIDE of the panel are the following buttons:

Open

Maximize - this will make the panel the entire size of the software. Once this button is pushed, it is replaced with the minimize button.

Minimize - If the panel is maximized, the minimize button will replace the maximize button. Clicking on this button will return the panel to it’s original state.

Close - this will close the panel (Hotkey - Alt+9)

Using the Cast Tab

When starting Filmatick, the Cast tab populates with all of the speaking characters in your script. The user must assign actors from the Explorer Tab to each character. After the initial assignment, the user can reuse each actor in any scene or shot. Filmatick automatically assigns them but the user may re-assign a different actor for each scene or shot.

In Scene or In Shot

When an actor is used in a Scene or in a Shot, Filmatick will indicate it in the Cast Tab. An overlay will say if the character is In Scene, or In Scene.

If you character is IN the scene but not used (physically in the scene), there will be no overlay.

If your character hasn’t been assigned an actor, there will be a large question mark in place of the image.
