Importing Scripts from External Tools

For now, scripts from WriterDuet may be imported in JSON file format.

  • First, export your script from WriterDuet: simply exclude your title page and export your script as JSON.
  • Then use the Import button on the Data card to upload your JSON file.

WriterDuet JSON Import Process

  • The import modal guides you through selecting the file and configuring import options:
    • You can opt to convert "smart" characters (e.g., curly quotes) to standard equivalents during import.
  • Consequence will identify event names from SCENE lines in your WriterDuet script. It will automatically treat lines starting with INT, EXT, or INT/EXT as scene lines within a given event, instead of treating them as new events.
  • During the import, you will be able to specify the intended event type for each event in the script and make adjustments.
  • Perform a test import to review warnings and errors before finalizing.
  • Final import updates your project with new or modified events and lines.
