Error trying to import final draft script #2519

Open brandonosterman opened 4 months ago

brandonosterman commented 4 months ago

Hi,

When I attempt to select a script for a new storyboard project I get the following error:

Could not parse Final Draft data. Cannot read property '0' of undefined

Is there an alternative way to import a script other than as a .fountain file?

Thanks, Brandon

Did you resolve this issue?

I resolved this issue by reediting my script. My first line was EXT. RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOURHOOD-DAY but when I selected the line in Writer Solo it said it was an ACTION and not a SCENE. I changed that line to a SCENE and now Storyboarder can create ID's for that scene. I then used writer solo to export my scripts as .fdx or .fountain and opened again in Storyboarder and it worked.

I encountered another problem tho, my SCENE was in Storyboarder but the rest of the script was empty.

Instead I tried using Open instead of Create new storyboard to open the script in Storyboarder. After that It automatically created a folder for Storyboarder for my storyboard to be saved in. I think it helps to have only 1 script in the folder.

Hope this helps! I'm pretty new to this...
