Script Studio helps you develop stories and format professional screenplays and novels. Its intuitive design lets you break your story down into sequences and build your script beat by beat. Story planning and rewrites become a breeze. This sequencing method has many great advantages. It gives you an overview of your narrative while you work on individual scenes. It also enhances your creative flow and encourages a structured approach to scriptwriting.
Script Studio has structuring tools to color-code your narrative into acts and sequences. It includes templates like "The Hero's Journey" and "3 Act Structure" used in many Hollywood movies. You can customize these to suit your writing method or create your own. Reorganizing your story outline is easy. Drag steps, chapters, and scenes around your list, or via virtual "Index Cards". You can also toggle to display or hide content to help you focus on what's important.
Script Studio's character development tools help you create in-depth profiles and unique characters. Add a headshot image or choose from the picture gallery to help you visualize who they are. Answer probing interview-style questions to understand your character's backstory and motivation. Define relationships between characters. Analyze dialogue in your script to keep voices unique and consistent. Develop character arcs beat by beat as you build their journey.
Script Studio automatically handles the layout as you type and with "Tab and Enter" keyboard shortcuts. Auto-complete suggests character names, scene headings, and transitions — streamlining your writing process. This helps you focus on your story and characters and maintain a creative flow. The custom Courier font matches pagination across platforms and your printed screenplay. This ensures your script is presentable and easy for industry professionals to read.
FeelFactors™ are story beats that evoke an audience's emotional or intellectual response. These include gore, shock, tension, conflict, romance, mystery, and action. Setting levels helps you gauge story pacing via interactive graphs. Each beat node can be adjusted and isolated for each turning point. This lets you view your narrative's highs and lows, and get a feeling for its emotional impact. You can also compare your story's pacing with movie reference outlines in different genres.
When your script, play, or novel is complete Script Studio offers you a variety of ways to share it. You can export to different formats like PDF, Final Draft, Rich Text, Fountain, and HTML for the web. Its versatile print and export wizards let you select which parts of your project to include. Every element is customizable. From title page and scene numbering to notes and chapter heading style. You can also export your script breakdown for production scheduling.
