I see a note at Filmmakers that the import of Spotlight has been deactivated. What is this all about?

At Filmmakers you have the option of activating the Spotlight add-on. This will create a new profile for you at Spotlight . Similarly, Spotlight offers existing Spotlight members the opportunity to activate the Filmmakers add-on via their Spotlight account, which will create a new profile for you at Filmmakers .

If you already have an existing Filmmakers profile and an existing Spotlight profile and activate the Filmmakers add-on in your Spotlight account, the following message will appear in your existing Filmmakers profile after logging in:

You have selected the Filmmakers add-on at Spotlight . The data import from Spotlight is currently deactivated, as you manage your profile on Filmmakers yourself.

The reason for this is that the Filmmakers add-on, which can be activated via Spotlight , is not compatible with an existing Filmmakers profile. In this case, Filmmakers automatically deactivates the data transfer (data import) from Spotlight to prevent your Filmmakers profile from being overwritten with data from your Spotlight profile.

In this case, we recommend that you deactivate the Filmmakers add-on at Spotlight .
