This is a good, clear presentation that I wish I'd seen before writing two novels using Scrivener. Much more needs to be said about the compile process. In this video, Greg couldn't find how to set page headers. Answer: Go to the format selected in the compiler's left pane and edit it. This highlights a problem with the compiler; information and settings are spread across multiple aspects of the interface instead of being assembled in a unified settings pane. It can be difficult to find settings and even remember them later.
I have my outline handwritten in notebooks. When I went to begin to transfer to Scrivener and my Zero Draft, some things changed so radically I was a little taken aback. For example: I have my female character in a hospital and injured. She was with a young man who together were attacked and assaulted. The young man is killed and she is seeing her aunt for the first time since she was young. In the handwritten outline, I had no intention of the girl telling her aunt about the young man she was with. That was until my Zero Draft where I suddenly had the words coming from her mouth telling her aunt all about the young man. Funny thing is that deviation has opened up so many other avenues for the story I hadn't thought would with the closed handwritten outline. Funny how that happens.
Help! At the start of this video, he say: “If you happen to be a ‘pancer, or a ‘panser,’ or a ‘pantser,’ whatever. So what is he actually saying? ‘never heard this word before… or is it just a badly pronounced word? Bad way to start a video.
