I have a (Italian?) copy of Scarface (De Palma 1983). Is ther any way I can import the cast + crew credits from some other version of this film (there must be many in the database) or do I have to type everything out myself?
Sorry for what must be a very stupid question, but I am new

Thanks for your help,
Charles

Go to add by title and add another version to your local database.  Open up the new one you have downloaded and click on the cast section.  Right click on the list of cast and go down to "copy all cast."  Then close that profile and open your Italian version.  Go back to the empty cast list and right click and go down to "paste all cast."  Voila!

You can do the same thing with crew.

Then double check your Italian versions credits to make sure that nothing is different and then you can submit the new changes.  In your notes when contributing indicate that you copied the cast & crew from the other Scarface profile and list its UPC.

Then go back to your local and delete the one you downloaded for this purpose.

Edit:  I see Pete is faster than I am!

Open via the menu (or the menu button) the DVD -> Add to Collection window.
Select the 'By title' tab
Type the title 'Scarface'
Browse to a profile version you like (*)
Select it and it and add it to your collection
Exit the 'Add to collection' window
Select the newly added profile (**)
Via the menu select DVD -> Copy
Select your actual copy
Via the menu DVD -> Paste... you open the Paste window
Tick cast and tick crew, then click OK
Remove the latest added profile of Scarface as this was meant only temporarily.

Some cautions:
(*) you can preview the profile by using the Preview button in the lower middle. It makes only sense to download it if it has a decently filled cast and crew section. Also, vary 'locality' and or 'region' as well documented profiles may be around in another country (=locality).
(**) In the General Info window there is the "view contributors" button. Click it, on the next window click "view contribution notes" to see if the cast and crew were taken from a reputable source: either directly from the movie credits or another previously approved profile. If not, scan around for a better profile in the database.

This fills your local profile. If you have the urge to contribute it to the online database, please document in the contribution notes where you got cast and crew from and best to also check your cast and crew by verifying against the credits in the movie.

PS I see a lot of likeminded spirits aiding as well!

Thanks to all for your help. I have already started to import, copy/paste and delete - lol
