Screenwriting Software Available Online
December 2, 2008
Good screenwriting is the basis for all good filmmaking. However, many writer get bogged down with the amount of time it takes to format a screenplay in word processor software such as Microsoft Word.
I, too, suffered from this frustration until my friend turned me on to Celtx, a preproduction software that automatically formats for scripts.
Celtx is available to everyone online for free and it cuts most of these problems and efforts down to a minimum. The software lets you keep pages saved as scenes in the whole project and gets rid of the problems many have with tabs and other such difficulties.
I highly recommend this product, which can be downloaded here.
In order to help users better understand the program, there is a series of instructional videos on YouTube here. The videos are from Expert Village and are extremely helpful. I have posted one below to explain the formatting process in the program.
