One, you’re supposed to be the leading program in your field and yet you don’t have a phone app version of your software. Until last summer, they didn’t even have a writing version for the iPad. That’s right, Final Draft doesn’t do a phone app.

Now all I needed to do was download the App so I could write on the go too. Suddenly, all that wasted time was behind me, I now had a writing program that was aiding my ability to write a screenplay. It’s the industry standard and comes with all the right perks you would want from this kind of software. So I began browsing the web for such a piece of software. These programs will save you time which should be spent concentrating on your script and not fiddling around with whether your text should be in capitals, centred, or whatever else that may crop up. It was a big mistake – and pretty much made because of my ignorance to screenwriting programs. Here’s what was happening to me.įirstly, when writing shorts, I was using Word.
Whilst there is no escaping the hours, days, weeks and months of plot planning and writing the actual thing, making sure you have an easy work flow can save hours in re-writing notes and copy and pasting scenes from one document to another. And we have, yet, another writing app that wins some and loses some.When writing a feature screenplay, there are certain things you can do to make your life easier. But, since I’m trying to be cheap, I intentionally accept the compromises inherent to Celtx.

The apps don’t support the iOS Open In feature where the user can open an attachment in the chosen software (available on most of my other apps) and get working. I will also use it on my iPad, mostly because Celtx supports comic book writing where I had to tweak the Final Draft app to my liking. So using Celtx on the iPhone should get my script and comics work done whenever I don’t have my other tech. I groused about Screenplay for the iPhone not having the Shot element (probably an upsell technique for the iPad app). Final Draft has so far strangely ceded the iPhone market. My real reason for keeping Celtx in favor of the Black Mana (see review) program has to do with doing things on my iPhone in the most efficient manner possible. Cutting and pasting into Final Draft 8 can be a slight adventure, as the text has to be fixed afterwards. From there it’s a matter of cut and paste into the files on the computer. Namely, emailing the file to your self as a TXT file. Luckily, the Celtx app has ways of talking to the computer without using their cloud server. But, pay Celtx (Microsoft Office 365, for that matter) to maintain my documents all tickety-boo when I already do this through the various links to my Dropbox account that are free? Sibling, I have this bridge for sale, single owner, like new and with free maintenance… I probably will start paying Spotify when my writing checks clear as an easy way to download the music I want as a prelude to getting a real iPod.
#Celtx vs final draft plus#
I pay for Netflix and Hulu Plus to get the shows I feel like I need to see since I really only pay my cable bill to make sure I have Internet in the sacred confines of my condo. I don’t do that sort of thing willy-nilly, because subscription fees add up. But, having a Celtx account eventually means having to pay a monthly subscription fee. Now if I were to go whole hog, I would download the desktop manager version for my Mac and use it like a cloud document manager to keep things in sync on all of my devices.
