What Is The Best FREE Script Software of 2023?

[@itsjameskmartin]

What is your favourite script software? Comment below!

[@ByronWeaver33]

are any of these apps available for iPhones?

[@audiemolinger6450]

we need a software that allows us to save the script to our own computer

[@fossmountainfilm]

Yeah, I too searched for Scribe instead of Scrite. Thanks for making this video! It was to the point and that is what I need when very busy. Groove on James!

[@itsjameskmartin]

My apologies. Thanks for pointing that out and I’m glad it helped.

[@IAMAmazingNow]

Causality has updates all the time and it is a bit hard to get started having to watch videos to figure things out. If you are into doing outlines, tags and beats for your script it might be perfect. But you can only get the first 9 pages free then you have to pay. It can be a constant struggle dealing with their customer service as they only have one customer service person who is the guy who designed the program and he lives in France. I am looking forward to trying the other free writing ones while I write my soon to be award winning series. Thanks much for the info. Appreciate it!

Really cool video. I used the paid version of Celtx for a while but it always seemed to be full of bugs. Ended up going with Fade In, which I love. I'm keen to see how this Scrite is.

[@itsjameskmartin]

Personally, I’m a big advocate for Scrite.io as it’s new and still developing, but has made a lot of progress. As long as you find something that works for you.

[@Arentzen]

Thank you so much. Until now, I've only wrote novels and short stories, but now I'm asked to write an audio drama and I have no idea what software to use. They send me an example and the sheet they send me looks a lot like a script for a screenplay - I’ve read the Resident Evil-Script by George A. Romero. So, maybe a scrip software is suitable for me. But what software should I choose? This video helped me immensely to answer this question and I think I’ll give Scrite a shot. Thank you again!

[@itsjameskmartin]

That’s awesome! I’m glad this video helped.

[@erwinretamales7211]

I'm testing Causality and the truth is that it has many bugs, it's only a 9 page script and it can't seem to support full character development with different connections. Good idea, but don't even think about paying. Fadein for me is still the best, simple and direct to what you need

[@itsjameskmartin]

Thanks for sharing your experience

[@victorlima1503]

I like Kit Scenarist, it's simple, effective and free hehe

[@itsjameskmartin]

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll have to try it out.

[@victorlima1503]

@@itsjameskmartin It's pretty good, it just doesn't have too many features, as i said, it's simple and effective for its main purpouse

[@1greak]

writeter duet 10\10 it's the only software that supports Arabic (right to left languages) all the other famous softwares don't event bother

[@itsjameskmartin]

Good to know. Remember, that if a software delves into different languages it’s because it’s appealing to a certain demographic of clients. Have you tried Scrite.io to see if that supports Arabic?

[@lukevandegrift8352]

pls provide the linkies in the description thank u

[@thein-famouselguapo15]

Are there any programs you can download to your laptop so that you can use it without needing internet?

[@itsjameskmartin]

Scrite.io

[@shubhagarwal9812]

I downloaded Scribe instead of Scrite. Correct it in the timestamps, buddy.

[@itsjameskmartin]

Thanks for the heads up.

[@TrainSounds]

I’m using arc studio

[@h19studios48]

I've been using Writerduet but I've been thinking about going with Arc Studio since I'll be wanting to do collaborations and also with a webtoon artist possibly. Would Scribe also be a good option?

[@sevaughn4]

Thank you ❤

[@itsjameskmartin]

No problem

[@ALLUDIL]

scrite is a good one actually

[@itsjameskmartin]

Agree!

[@nomecognome8737]

It's terrible for me. Keeps saying "this isn't a scrite document" when I go to reopen the file the next day and it's a miracle that I can find a way to get my damn last saved screenplay back

[@layletts7888]

Hey James, can you please send me the link for a free Celtx software. I have been searching but to no avail. thank you!

[@itsjameskmartin]

You go to Celtx.com and apply for their free version.

[@layletts7888]

@@itsjameskmartin thank you but it's free for only 7 days right? do I pay after the trial period?

[@grifisson]

Any of these have Dark Mode when writing? White screens give me bad headaches after awhile.

[@itsjameskmartin]

I know Final Draft does

[@dmitry.kosmich]

Clapper Board Studio is good enough for free software. And it has great modern dark UI

[@bkddop]

try writer duet

[@jamesmordovancey517]

All right, have been following you for some time now and to date have various scripts (using Writerduet). So what do I do with them now? I live in rural Penna., not exactly film country. Any suggestions on how to proceed, the next step?

[@itsjameskmartin]

Hey James! I appreciate the love. There’s two things you can do: 1) Keep holding onto those scripts and continue writing more in case the time is right to make any of them; and 2) Make your scripts, upload them online, share the journey online, and allow that to build up awareness, brand, and content to show to future producers (or make money). Hope that helps!

[@treegee9646]

Thanks how can we see the spelling for these softwares on our phones? The one is bata is called what ?

[@itsjameskmartin]

Some may not have a spelling check. I’m not sure which exactly. If you use an online software like Celtx, try also using Grammerly.

[@Meu6244]

Hey James. Please make a video on free text-to-video websites or apps that one can use without needing a laptop. Invideo has this, but I need a laptop to be able to use their text-to-video tool. If there is a way to use the tool with a phone, please show me how. Thank you.

[@itsjameskmartin]

Hey! What do you mean by text-to-video?

[@Danielle_Visuals]

Does studio binder have a software offline?

[@itsjameskmartin]

Not sure. You’ll have to go to their website.

[@audiemolinger6450]

Yes, but Celtx sores your work on their server, you don't appear to be able to download it and save it to your own computer?

[@itsjameskmartin]

Correct. You don’t save the project to your computer. It’s auto saved online. The benefit to that is that you can access the project anywhere and it’s saved even if something were to happen to your computer.

[@_Kiii]

What about for Mobile devices?

[@elevendr4155]

Arc Studio Pro and WriterDuet have screenwriting apps fro iOS and you can even use them on the browser

[@JaeTeL]

Links would have been nice. I'm googling Scribe but can't find shit.

[@itsjameskmartin]

I provide all links in the description. :)

[@wasgeht2409]

@@itsjameskmartin but where exactly ? I can't find it

[@Eyeofkamau]

this man gave FD a 3/10 lmaaooo

[@itsjameskmartin]

Again, my rating was based on how good it was as a free software.

Scribe shut down March 24, 2023

[@itsjameskmartin]

I continue to work with the Scrite team to this day. Lately, we collaborated on a new writing course - james-site-421d.thinkific.com/courses/how-to-write-a-story-of-redemption. They are far from done.

[@NerdPanic]

Stopped at 3 because none are free

[@itsjameskmartin]

They’re either completely free or have a free plan.

[@kaneskinlo]

What a terrible video, most of these "free" options are only free trials. Dudes just trying to make content for the clicks.

[@CedarCo]

Take a hike, this video is very informational actually...

[@AlexeyShort]

Who can you recommend to read about clips and ads scripts?

[@itsjameskmartin]

What do you mean? Can you please clarify?

[@AlexeyShort]

@@itsjameskmartin short film lengths measured in minutes. 15-20 mins. ADS and CLIPS are much shorter and rely more heavily on a different set of tools writers use for short films. So maybe you know where to look for this info.
