Storyist screenwriting software is very affordable and will not only aid you in the writing and formatting of your script, but also help you develop the story and characters. However, with all the various development and script options, the user interface becomes cluttered with windows. It lands in fifth place on our list of screenplay writing software.
Ease of Use:As with other screenwriting software applications, it uses Tab and Return key commands to format the script to Hollywood standards. You can also select what you want to type next, such as scene heading or dialogue, with the Style Chooser.
On the toolbar, you will find an option that opens the Inspector window (button is in the toolbar) and choosing the Styles tab. As with similar screenwriting software apps, Storyist will predict the formatting option for you.
Writing & Rewriting Features:Other Storyist features include adding comments, using an outline view to develop and organize the story; adding summaries to the outline, color coding and adding elements to the plot. The software also gives you tools to develop characters and create scene sheets.
Use the Collage view to put a scene index card up, and add in photos for inspiration and comments. If you use the Notebooks feature to store and write information, or if you drag text files to the Notebook icon, Storyist screenwriting software will make it into virtual Notebooks.
You can view many of these elements in separate windows while you’re writing, using the Workspaces icon in the toolbar. However, it can clutter up the user interface and become a bit distracting.
There aren’t any standard rewriting tools, such as locking pages, for on-set revisions during film production. However, if you’re rewriting to make the script stronger, use the notes, outline and other available tools to help with those revisions.
Multiple Format Export:It would be nice to see TV scripts for dramas and sitcoms included in the next version, but you can work with the blank template and find an example online.
