When the internet is accessible, ‘Online Mode’ can be initiated by clicking the ‘File’ tab and then the ‘Online’ option. The URL can be copied to the clipboard or bookmarked for ease in accessibility in case the browser needs to be closed. After confirming the action, the script will reload and offer a document URL.

Once the allocated team members have been granted permission to edit offline documents, the user can click on the ‘File’ dropdown and select ‘Offline’. The ‘Offline Mode’ needs to be initiated before leaving an internet connection. To keep the team actively contributing to the script and pre-production process, Celtx integrated offline accessibility to documents.

‘Offline Mode’ is accessible within the Celtx free version. With the amount of inspired action that goes into film, media, and television production, this aspect of the program is paramount to allow team members to quickly act on their creative impulses to develop their productions. This allows for concise formatting to keep every team member in sync and updated. Looking for screenwriting resources?

My answer was that it didn’t provide any features missing from my various other tools. Many folks asked why I ignored Celtx in my last screenwriting post.
#CELTX SCRIPT TUTURIAL SOFTWARE#
That it works on the iPhone as well and syncs with free desktop software makes the $10 price a bargain. I’m delighted that someone finally made a solid and elegant screenwriting solution for the iPad. I would love some assurance from the Celtx team about the security of the cloud storage. It’s not quite the same thing as a true Google Docs-style cloud sync, but it’s close, and it’s free. There’s a corresponding Export option as well. Once you get the plug-in installed, you can import a screenplay from the free cloud backup using desktop Celtx’s Script > Import Script > From iPhone/iPad menu item. One of the developers managed to get the free syncing plug-in posted within a few hours though. Speaking of which, the developers were caught by surprise with Celtx Script hitting the App Store on a Saturday, so while the free Celtx Sync function would work between an iPhone and an iPad running Celtx Script, there was no way to sync between the free desktop Celtx and your mobile device. See how difficult life is for developers? Notice how I praise the app for its minimalism and then request new features. I trust that this is an easy bug to fix.Ī feature I would love for both the iPad and the desktop version is folders in the scene list. Landscape view has a centering problem where the last character is cut off on the right. In landscape, there’s a handy scene list to the right for navigation. In portrait view you have a distraction-free view of your script. You can do most of what you need to just by typing. This is a welcome surprise given how clunky and homely the desktop Celtx application is on OS X.Ĭeltx Script on the iPad is as simple and elegant as one would hope. Celtx Script ( US$9.99) is the first iPad screenwriting app that “just works” in the way that Apple users expect.
Kudos to Celtx for figuring out exactly what to include and what to leave out when designing a screenwriting app for mobile devices.
