What shot properties are and where to edit them

Every shot has a frame and a script. Properties are the third thing: the production details that turn a storyboard into a shot list.

Each property has a type (text, a pick-list, a number, a date, a time, a duration, an image) and a value per shot. Definitions belong to your account, so a property you create is available in every project; the values belong to each project.

Where you edit them

• Table view: one column per property, one row per shot. Best for filling in a whole column at once.
• Canvas side panel › Script tab: the open shot's properties under its script, with a Property button to add one.
• Storyboard cards: ＋ Property on a card. (The Script view keeps properties out of the way; they don't show there.)

Showing and hiding

A property is shown on a shot when you've added it there, whether or not it has a value yet. Open a property's menu (click its label) for Hide on this shot, Show on all shots and Hide from all shots. The picker's search box (Search or create a property…) lists every property with This shot and All buttons. Hiding never deletes values.

Deleting

The same menu has Delete all values… (clears the property in this project) and Delete property… (retires it from your account: it stops being offered anywhere and stays visible only where it still holds a value, badged retired). Built-in properties can be hidden and cleared but not deleted or renamed.
