Thank you so much for not assuming that we know where to begin.
-
I've had this program for years and didn't know it had a built in name generator! Thank you!
-
this totally revolutionized scrivener for me! i've tried it twice over the last few years and never got into it but this is amazing. thank you!
-
I am fairly familiar with Scrivener, but I really appreciate your practical take on how to use it. Thank you.
-
This was extremely helpful and the first tutorial that I feel helped me to actually set up scrivener for writing versus a template that confuses me later on.

I've been using Scrivener for about five or six years now, but there's always something to learn from how someone else uses it. I might have to steal that concept of color coding the perspective character. Sounds useful for finding specific scenes later when I want to make sure details match up. I never export for print. Instead, I export as .docx for a final read through and print from there. The habit dates back to a much older version where the print formatting was a bit off, but I've made use of the process, so I still do it.

thank you so much for this. You really helped me out. I've been using Scrivener for a while but you taught me so much and made a lot of things easier for me.

It was quite interesting to watch this video. I came here because even though I have used Scrivener version 3.x for quite a long time, I have not used it often in the last two years and I wanted to see a how-to of Scrivener basics as a refresher. This means I'm quite the amateur writer (smile.) I think you present really well in this video. The videography is excellent. I wish you had organized this video into discrete sections, so I can go straight to the sections I think are useful to me. Also, I'm deaf (I can't hear) so I use the automatic closed caption feature of YouTube for a transcription of what you are saying. You move a little quickly with screen shots as you discuss features. I have to watch the caption text to get your commentary and then turn my attention to the screen shot you are showing. It is a little hard for me to do, but that is just me. I can replay the video. Scrivener does automatically save your work: it does this every 2 seconds by default. I've never lost a Scrivener project and I have bunches of them, including a couple of recent projects I've begun working on. A little research into how Scrivener automatically saves your work helps. Literature & Latte, the vendor, has a blog entry on saving Scrivener projects that is well worth reading. Thank you for this video.
