How to remove scene numbers within your screenplay

Learn how to remove scene numbers in your script editor

StudioBinder allows you to remove scene numbers from your screenplay at any time. For example, if you're combining a scene with the one above it, but would still like to keep the slugline, you can do so by removing the scene heading. This update will not affect the rest of your project until you sync your script.

Note: Syncing with this update will permanently remove the specific scene and any associated work—breakdowns, shot lists, storyboards, and linked elements—from your project. All other scenes and related work will remain unaffected.

Step 1 ⏤ Highlight scene heading

Highlight the scene heading.

Step 2 ⏤ Convert to general

Select General from the toolbar to remove the scene number & convert the slugline to general text.

Note: Alternatively, you can use the General hotkeys: ⌥ + G on a Mac or Alt + G on a PC to turn the text into plain text.

Step 3 ⏤ Review & confirm

The scene number will have been removed from that individual scene.

Now that you know how to remove scene numbers, here are more ways to manage your screenwriting:
