Write the movie, not the margins.
A screenplay editor in the browser. Type the scene and the formatting follows, so you keep your head in the story and the page stays in proper format.
The format follows what you type.
Type INT. and you have a scene heading. Type a name in caps and the dialogue indents under it. You never style a line by hand, and your fingers stay on the keys you already know.
Tab and Enter do the walking.
- Lines sort themselves: heading, action, character, dialogue, transition. Tab and Enter to flow.
- Proper screenplay format, the standard for film and TV. Two column and document formats arrive with Pro.
It knows who’s in the scene.
- Cues, locations and transitions complete from your own script, the people in this scene first
- A focus mode and an outline for the long days
Page counts in eighths that match the shoot.
A page a minute only works if the pages are accurate. Curtyn typesets the page the way a screenplay is set, so your page count, your eighths and your schedule all mean what they say.
Courier 12, every break by the book.
- Courier 12 on US Letter, true margins. A page here is a page on set.
- Every scene measured in eighths, ready to schedule, with a live page count and runtime as you write
Blue pages, pink pages, asterisks and all.
- Lock for production and scene numbers freeze; inserts become 3A, 3B
- Revision marks per changed line, through the standard colour cycle: white, blue, pink, and on
Then it carries onto the board.
Tag a prop, a cast member or a location on the page, and the same script carries into the breakdown, the stripboard and the call sheet, so nobody re-keys a line. Your script stays yours, in and out.
In, out, and back again.
- Final Draft and Fountain in and out, scene numbers and notes intact
- PDF export with true page breaks, ready to send
One draft, the whole room.
No final_FINAL_v3.fdx in the group chat. You and your co-writer type in the same document, see each other’s cursors, and never merge two drafts by hand again.
Your co-writer’s cursor, right there.
- The whole room writes in one live document, named cursors and all
- Per-writer undo, so ⌘Z never eats someone else’s line
- Writing seats arrive with Pro. Free shares the script read-only.
The rest of the kit.
