1.2 Uploading a Script

Upload a DOCX theatre script to Pockitle Cue, check supported file, unit, and character limits, then prepare it for analysis and editable subtitle cues.

⚡ Quick Guide

Where: Project page → "Upload Script" button

New script format: .docx only

Max Size: 10MB

Limits: Free: 25K units | Lite: 40K | Pro / Pro+: 70K

Steps: Upload Script → choose .docx → confirm original language → Upload and Preview → Continue to Analysis

Open the upload dialog

From a project page, click Upload Script.

  1. Select a Word .docx file or drag it into the drop area.
  2. The new-script upload accepts .docx; the separate Restore from Excel (Test) flow accepts its own workbook format.

Script Limits: Maximum file size is 10MB. Scripts are also subject to unit and character limits based on your membership tier:

  • Free: 25,000 units / 250,000 characters
  • Lite: 40,000 units / 400,000 characters
  • Pro / Pro+: 70,000 units / 700,000 characters

Confirm the original language

Use the language selector in the upload dialog to confirm the script's original language before you submit.

  • If the language is already right, keep it.
  • If not, pick a different language before you continue.
  • If Pockitle Cue detects a different language, you may see a language-mismatch confirmation dialog.

Submit the file

Click Upload and Preview. If this project already has analyzed or edited script content, save the work you need first: replacing the script removes its current rows, edits, translations, and language settings.

  • Confirm the replacement warning when updating an existing script. This uploads the file and prepares the preview step.
  • It does not run the final analysis yet.
  • After upload, use Continue to Analysis for the preview and final analysis steps.

Language Detection

If the detected language differs from your selection, you may see a confirmation dialog:

Figure 1.2.2: Keep your selected language or switch to the detected one.

You can choose to use the detected language, keep your original choice, or select a different language.

Script File Tips

For best results:

  • Use clear formatting with character names followed by dialogue
  • Separate stage directions from spoken lines
  • Avoid complex tables or images in the document
  • Ensure text is selectable (not scanned images)
