Practical Scriptwriter Description
Whether you are a novice writer or a seasoned professional, creating scripts for various media can be a daunting task. Practical Scriptwriter is a useful tool that can help you manage your work, so that it meets industry standards and allows you to easily convert it to other formats.
Organize your characters and the script’s main elements
All scripts are based on the use of four scene parts: stage headers, stage direction, dialogue and transitions. The only thing you need to do in order to switch between them is use the TAB key. If no content is entered, the program switches to one of the others. This way, you never need to take your hands off your keyboard, thus greatly speeding up your writing.
You can also specify which scene part should come after another, so that, for example, a scene header is automatically followed by stage direction.
Also, Practical Scriptwriter allows you to create character cards, that include their names, gender, age and any other information that you may find useful.
Write outliners and treatments
The program offers a useful function that can help you develop your story. When writing an outline, you can enter general plot information on a series of cards, that can help you keep track of where your story is going.
Practical Scriptwriter also enables you to use a separate tab in order to write a treatment, that is a short story version of the content in your script.
Supports multiple script formats and allows reformatting
This application can help you write screenplays, TV show episodes, radio plays and stage plays. It separates the actual content from the formatting information, allowing you to easily reformat your work.
You can print your work or export it to PDF, XPS, RTF or HTML, and the application can also import scripts saved in the RTF format.
To sum up, Practical Scriptwriter is an intuitive application, that offers comprehensive documentation and is suitable for beginners who need help formatting their works, as well as for veterans who want to improve their writing speed.
