Celtx scriptwriting software information

As I mentioned when I sent my script to everyone to review, I use Celtx software to write my scripts. I thought I could add a blog post for anyone interested in knowing more about the software. This is not intended as a sales pitch for the software, just information on it for those who have never heard of it.

I have been using Celtx for about 6 years, and every time I go to their website it is different (mind you I don't go that often): https://www.celtx.com/

The software is open-source or free-ware. Either way it's free to download and use, however I just noticed as I explored their site this time, that you are suppose to register (for free) to get the download (free), though I found a download link through another site by googling "celtx free download" - if you want to check out the software yourself.

Why I use and like the software:

• There are a variety of preset script formats (Film, Audio-Visual, Theatre, Audio Play, and some others)
• It is more of a project binder than a document, so you can have pages of notes with your script but not part of your script (i.e. more than one 'document' are in the project). I have a page of links related to my research as one page in my project
• There are sections you can add where you can fully define your characters, props, settings, sounds, lighting, and many more (again all kept within the same main file / project binder)
• The script can easily be marked with all the props and settings, etc and a report / list of all of them is generated
• When I first started using Celtx they had free online storage, where you also share your script with others / collaborators. At one point that became a paid feature. With my brief look now I can't tell if they went back to free or still paid
• It is available on all 3 major operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux).

If you'd like to know more, check out their site or feel free to ask me.
