How to include screenplay (1-2pp) within novel

Scrivener Scrivener for Windows

(There is an ancient question asking almost exactly the same thing, but times change…)

I would like to include a 1-2pp screenplay (think: enough for a 30s video ~ social media thing) within a novel project

What is the best way of going about this? Manually format everything, or is there some way I can access a template, or…?

You can toggle on Scriptwriting mode by going to Format → Scriptwriting or Ctrl+8, so it’s easy enough to go back and forth between scriptwriting and regular composition within the same project.

If you’re not familiar with Scriptwriting mode, §19.1 of the Scrivener manual (which you can find under the Help menu) is a good primer.

Excellent answer. Two minutes later I have created an example and know how to use Ctrl-\ to invoke the element menu. And there are unexpected goodies like tab does parentheticals inside e.g. dialogue.

Thanks :smiley:
