Celtx Reviews

The flow of writing is easier then most for a new comer it would be easier with the free version,

I am a small studio starting off to make shows and the charged me about $2000 for a years access with 5 seats for collaboration and we couldn’t afford to keep it and lost some of our scripts in the downgrade. Final draft is cheaper and you buy the license for $200 and don’t need to buy anything else unless you want to upgrade

I love the following:
- the ability to change formats (from novel to screenplay to graphic novel to stage play) - this is the most unbelievable benefit of Celtx
- a one-stop shop for story development
- the ability to storyboard your story FIRST before writing the screenplay
- the addition of graphic novel format
- the addition of GEM, to write and develop stories for gamers
- the self-reassurance that you get when you purchase the studio edition; now, you are not just JOE, you are JOE STUDIOS!
- having all your files in the cloud per project

Celtx is powerful for teamwork and collaboration, but their focus is NOT on individuals. You can use it for screenwriting and gaming, but the cost to you as an individual is unwarranted because you can't get a stripped-down version, you have to get the same package that entire TEAMS purchase, which can seem unfair to individuals.

Thebautosave feature. While writing on other platforms, I’ve lost so much content to do harddrive crashes and forgetting to save my work while in a hurry.

There is no celtx app for the ckmputer anymore and everything is online. I miss the days when there was a computer platform

Ease of use within the production environment as well as the collaboration aspect of the software within work groups.

I don't like the cloud-based aspect of the formatting, because I do a ton of my writing offline I would like my things to live offline as well as online. Not quite positive if its due to versioninig.

If you've ever written a script, be it for a film, tv show, comedy skit, short video, etc, you know how import getting the format correct is. It helps actors read, gives space for people to take notes, is clean and familiar, and most import...it's the industry standard. You can try to fake it in basic word processing software, but you will never get it just right. Celtx helps you there immensely. Other features such as the Index Cards, character notes, etc, they really help you when trying to revise your script. It's great for a creative.

The only issue...Final Draft is still the standard. So if you want to share a work in progress, you might run into some issues with writers and producers who prefer the older ways. Also, if you come from that background, you may need to spend some time brushing up on the new ways to get things done in Celtx.

The software is really easy to use once you get used to the shortcut keys. It's like working magic while writing your screenplay and the output is on point. I can export my screenplay as pdf as well as txt for final draft.

The formatting options are really low. I can't change font type, font size, and spacing between the sentences.

It's free and it has versions for windows, mac OS X and Linux. On line with text processor, it counts with spelling checker that autocompletes during the scriptwriting.

It's needed to be on line for save the project in PDF. And other of the failures that i see is that just is available en english. Any scriptwriter from other language can find it confuse.

Celtx in my opinion is sufficiently easier to use than Final Draft (not a knock on Final Draft). Both are great. Celtx is just more user friendly.

Sometimes the margins are set wrong and the page number won't show when you export to PDF or you print.

Celtx is a great software. It allows me to do my scripts and project management very rapidly and efficiently.

The least I liked about this software was that sometimes when trying to export the script to pdf it gives an error but usually it's solved by restarting the application.

Well, it's great that they offer a free version and multiple paid options. The software is easy to use and doesn't bother with a lot of unnecessary "bells and whistles." I feel like the simplicity of the software helps me focus on the content.

Sometime the interface is annoying, especially when trying to switch between formats, e.g., scene direction vs. dialogue.

Celtx is pretty intuitive to use and relatively easy to figure out, even for someone doing screenwriting for the first time. Looks professional, so you don't have to waste time on figuring out formatting, and just focus on writing.

The one issue I've run into is Celtx requiring internet connection to export to pdf.

It has industry-standard formatting and collaboration tools. It also helps me plan and execute my projects with ease. Celtx is the best choice for storytellers.

Nothing comes to mind. The software if pretty much near perfect.

While my brother has used this software a lot, I have helped him with scripts and it is very simple to use and understand even without knowing the correct way to format a script.

Switching between offline and online can be challenging.

It has many functionality. you can do literary script, technical script, storyboard, take into account even the smallest details, such as visual effects

It has many production design elements that are far from confusing to the writer. You must be connected to the internet to save your project in PDF

Fácil comprensión y adaptación, así como la exportación de material para ajustes y cambios, sus herramientas son de fácil uso.

De hecho hasta el momento solo me gustaría tener una opción para bajarlo no solo a pdf, sino a word
