Celtx - collaborative screenwriting for free
Published by on November 15th, 2005
Since Final Draft have discovered there’s little more they can add to a great screenwriting application, and opted for that unfortunately all too common ploy of charging daft amounts of money for minor upgrades, I have been on the lookout for an alternative.
One of the strong points of a screenwriting application in these days of the internet is the ability to collaborate remotely. So, welcome to the new world of Celtx.
Celtx is a comprehensive software package designed for people who work in the Film, TV, Theatre and New Media industries. It combines full-feature scriptwriting with media rich pre-production support and enables online collaboration.
Features include:
Write, import, edit and publish scripts using standard industry formatting
Manage pre-production tasks like location and talent scouting
Perform production breakdowns by adding media (sound files, video clips and digital pictures)
Collaborate with team members over the Internet
Celtx works on all major operating systems - Mac, Linux and Windows.Celtx is a new approach to creating films, TV shows and other media projects.
Celtx provides full featured script writing, media rich production support and the ability to collaborate all using one piece of software.
And it’s all free.
I suspect the collaborative aspect might see some charging in the future, particularly once they have implemented the planned versioning of documents for managing multiple authors. But for now, everything really is free.
