Where Does Fade In Store Screenplays and Settings?
Where Fade In keeps screenplays, templates and settings on desktop for backup and full moves.
Last updated
Fade In splits desktop state two ways: screenplays as files wherever you saved them, and templates with settings in per OS app data. The split matches other writing tools.
Copy scripts plus the support folder with the app closed for migration. Cloud drives sync scripts fine while settings need the folder copy. Versioned template names can shift between releases, so confirm live paths first on each machine.
Where Fade In stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Fade In
Screenplays as files wherever saved with templates in app data. Copy both with the app closed. Confirm template paths in the templates menu.
~/Library/Application Support/Fade In
Same split with support under Application Support on Mac. Use Finder Go to Folder to reach it. Scripts sync through any cloud drive.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Fade In to a new computer?
Keep scripts where you saved them and copy the Application Support folder with Fade In closed. Screenplays travel as files, templates and settings with the folder. Reinstalls need both halves.
Where are Fade In templates stored?
Open Fade In templates menu and read the custom paths. Templates save as files in support or Documents. The menu always shows the live locations after changes.
