Screenplay with Celtx
October 1, 2007
If you have ever been tempted to write your own screenplay but have no idea how to get started then we have the application for you. Celtx is the world’s first fully integrated solution for media pre-production and collaboration. It replaces old fashioned ‘paper, pen & binder’ media creation with a digital approach to writing and organizing that’s more complete, simpler to work with, and easier to share.
Use the Location, Character and Scene development tools to kick-start a dynamic story line. Augment your early thoughts with sound files, pictures and video clips to help build a media rich outline.
Choose your Editor
Celtx has 5 dedicated industry standard editors for writing:
- Screenplays
- AV scripts, including Documentaries, Advertisements and Music Videos
- Audio Plays, including Radio Plays and Podcasts
- Theatre Plays (International and US standard)
- Plain Text
Each editor has all of the features writers need to keep their fingers moving, like intuitive formatting, text auto-complete, dual column dialog, pagination, script styles, CAPS selection, scene management, spellchecker, embedded notes, find and replace, and PDF generation
Organise with index cards
All script editors are intelligently tied into reversible, colour coded Index Cards - allowing you to see your story at a glance, and organize and reorganize scenes as you’d like.
Collaborate with Others
Work with others by sharing access to your media project - scripts, breakdown files, budgets, schedules, and location forms - and maintain your artistic vision throughout the project. Celtx is the first software to truly assist multi-person collaboration in media creation.
Produce a Breakdown
Complete a media rich breakdown of your project, tagging items like props, wardrobe items or cast members with notes, pictures and sound files. Celtx also includes a Calendar and Reports feature to keep your project organized.
Storyboard your Production
Batch load images in to the Storyboard where they can be grouped together, tagged with text, and played as a loop to help pre-visualize your project.
Schedule your Production
Use the “just in time” Scheduling feature to plan your shoot. Drag and drop scenes, Days Off and Moving Days in to the calendar, to keep track of when and where you need resources for each shooting day. Best of all Celtx is completely freeware !
