Customize Captions Dialog Box
The Customize Captions dialog box allows you to configure how the caption fields in a project you're inserting are matched with the caption fields in your current project. You can associate caption fields from the project being inserted with caption fields in the current project, and decide whether the unmatched caption fields are added to your project or discarded.
- In your current project, in the Timeline view, move the timeline playhead over the scene after which you want the project to be inserted.
- From the top menu, select File > Project Management > Insert.
The Open Storyboard Project window appears.
- Browse to and select the *.sboard or *.sbpz file of the project you want to select and click on Open.
- In the dialog prompting you to confirm how to manage the caption fields of the project being inserted, click on Customize.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Captions list |
The list of captions being merged. The left column is for the caption fields in the current project, and the right column is for the caption fields in the project being inserted. Captions that are aligned horizontally will be matched, and the value of these captions in the inserted project will be added to that caption field in the current project. By default, captions that have the same name will already be aligned together. Should you need to customize the way the caption fields in both projects are matched, keep in mind the following behaviors:
For example, if the current project has a caption field named Action and the project being merged has a caption field named Action Notes, and they are both aligned horizontally, once the projects are merged, the value of the Action Notes caption field for the scenes being imported will be stored in the Action field. |
Add Caption |
If you have removed a caption from one of the project getting inserted, you can select the removed caption and click on this button to add it back. |
Remove Caption |
Ignores the currently selected caption field for the inserted project. The values for that caption field will not be imported in the current project. |
Move Up |
Moves the selected caption field up in the list of captions, changing which caption field in the original project it is matched with. |
Move Down |
Moves the selected caption down in the list of captions, changing which caption field in the original project it is matched with. |
