A Screenwriting Softwre For Everyone!

Celtx has really helped me to execute a lot of project. It is very easy to use. If you are a beginner screenwriter, i'd recommend you use Celtx. You don't have to worry about formatting, it handles that for you. As a professional screenwriter, Celtx is your sure bet.

PROS

The fact that I am able to collaborate with other Writers to work on the same project is one thing I love most about Celtx. With its cloud feature, it is impossible to lost a file as all works are automatically saved to the cloud. The tips on the blog section is another feature of Celtx i love so much. Those tips help you overcome "Writer's Block". The software is pretty simple to navigate and use. It is available for both PC and Mobile Phone users.

CONS

I really don't have anything negative about Celtx. But they should integrate "TITLE PAGE" feature in the mobile version. Unlike the PC version, mobile phone version don't allow writing "Title Page" in your screenplay.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the love, Osarumwense! We'll be sure to pass along your feedback on adding Title Page functionality to our mobile apps. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us if you have any more feedback you'd like to chat on, please feel free to reach out to our Support Team at support@celtx.com anytime.

So do you wanna write?

Overall, the Celtx program is awesome. Not only does it help me work as a team and manage the production aspects of my scripts and staging. It also has a very organized and easy to use interface. The production tools are absolutely fantastic.

PROS

It doesn't matter if you are a student, an amateur, or a teacher. This program, used even by great screenwriters, is excellent. Celtx helps you to correctly divide the sequences, to space the dialogues, to easily indicate the entrance of the characters, the general objective is that you concentrate on the creativity, and the program takes care of the formatting. Scripts can be shared from within the program to harmonize teamwork, and can also be sent in text (.txt) or pdf format via e-mail. The texts remain stored in the cloud, which makes it great for possible loss of physical devices.

CONS

There are not many cons to this program. Perhaps the most significant one is the price, but this depends on who you are and by this I mean: if what you are looking for is a casual immersion into the world of film writing (among others) perhaps it is not the best option, at least I would take it as an unprofitable investment. Taking into account that its costs range from twenty to thirty dollars. But out of that and some small "bugs" in its mobile version. This program is great, not for nothing it is chosen.

Reason for choosing Celtx

Celtx is a product that has been user-friendly from the start. It is an affordable price considering the profitability I give it at a professional level.

Vendor Response

Final Draft seems better

The people I have talked to are nice but are to expensive and charge way to much.

PROS

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

CONS

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

Reason for choosing Celtx

I always used celtx and loved how easy it was to write and format but since we had pro we had nothing but troubles

Ideas to Script

Writing scripts, especially when collaborating with other teammates, makes things easier and faster to work at my company.

PROS

I find that the interface is easier and more friendly than other software I have used. It helps me stay focused. The way it manages the projects makes things easier for my team and me to work on different projects at the same time.

CONS

I can´t think of something. I am happy with the software.

Reason for choosing Celtx

The price and simplicity. Other software out there were great, but had features that our team doesn´t really need at the moment.

Reasons for switching to Celtx

I didn´t need that many features. Celtx had enough features to do our job with ease.

Celtx is a great inexpensive tool for screenwriting.

I use Celtx for a professional looking screenplay without having to pay the high prices for others services.

PROS

The ease in ability to separate between all the different styles within a screenplay. The name save feature is great.

CONS

It does take a bit to get into the habit of using the different sequences. The export options are minimal.

Reason for choosing Celtx

The price is the main reason. Best value overall.

Reasons for switching to Celtx

Celtx is so much cheaper!
