How do I import the new and updated Contour sample screenplays into Contour?


When installed, Contour copies several sample screenplays into your Contour screenplays list. Over time, we have made corrections and tweaks to these screenplays, and we have added some additional samples. The new and updated sample screenplays are available for download on our web site at http://www.marinersoftware.com/download.php

Installing Updated Sample Screenplays

Once you have downloaded the updated sample screenplays, you should first delete the outdated ones:

  1. Launch Contour.
  2. Click on the outdated sample screenplay in the screenplays list and click the - button at the bottom of the screenplays list box.
  3. Confirm, if prompted, that you want to delete the screenplay.

Mac Users:

  1. Select File > Import > Contour XML file...
  2. Choose the updated sample screenplay you downloaded from the Mariner Software downloads page and click Open.

Windows Users:

  1. Select File > Import Contour File
  2. Choose the updated sample screenplay you downloaded from the Mariner Software downloads page and click Open.
