In all honesty, this is the biggest move with the most potential bang for your buck. The first thing you’ll want to do is find a way to improve your ability to focus. The big idea here is to free up your time and boost your concentration so you can be more efficient and thereby make the most of your screenwriting time. Yikes!Īs someone who’s been running an online business from home since 2002, I’ve cultivated a list of favorite, useful tech tools to help you stay on track and productive while working from home AND writing. Even if we’ve written at home for years, now we might also be wrangling kids 24/7, plus our lives and day jobs in our formerly (hopefully) serene writing space as well. Our shot lists and storyboards automatically calculate the estimated times you add to each shot or setup, giving you an accurate timeframe for each on the day.Working from home appears to be the new norm for the next while, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic.
Also, Celtx Studio limits your ability to change aspect ratios, page layout, custom numbering, or to quickly rearrange frames on your storyboards.Ĭeltx Studio shots listing forces you to link shots to specific moments in your scripts and their storyboards are disconnected from your scenes. Our shots lists allow you to create setups and estimated times for each shot.Ĭeltx shot lists and storyboards have smaller view windows when working on your boards. Sections can't be customized to your desires. Since the breakdown is securely shared online, you know everyone's looking at the latest version at any moment.Ĭeltx provides a free scriptwriting solution that's both collaborative, but the user experience doesn't come close to StudioBinder's screenwriting software.Ĭeltx Studio shot lists and storyboards give you fewer opportunities to describe and plan your creative goals. StudioBinder is cloud-based and you can share entire breakdowns with remote collaborators with granular access permissions.
Breakdown approvals, and minor adjustments will require in person meetings new PDF versioning to simply review the progress. StudioBinder auto-populates these sections from your script. Movie Magic Scheduling forces you to enter every detail in the script including scene numbers, heading information, location, and set. StudioBinder allows you to view the entire scene script, and simply click-and-drag to tag elements so you always have context. Movie Magic Scheduling doesn't have a script breakdown tagging interface, which means you must open a script PDF on your desktop, and manually type in each element in Movie Magic Scheduling. Movie Magic Scheduling offers a script breakdown feature, but it's a far cry from the experience you get with StudioBinder.īreaking down a script with StudioBinder is much quicker. This alone is a major differentiator since it allows you to collaborate with a wider array of production staff to create more thorough schedules. Share stripboards, get feedback and comments from your team, create tasks and mark them as completed. Movie Magic Scheduling stripboards are offline and isolated whereas StudioBinder can be securely shared and accessed from anywhere online. Each scene is auto-populated upon import and requires no redundant data entry. It accepts Final Draft files, PDFs, Fountain formats and more. StudioBinder's film scheduling is simply easier and b etter for teams. The software has not been updated in over a decade, and by modern standards is obsolete though it's still widely used by studios. Furthermore, Movie Magic is not based on collaboration, and requires costly desktop licenses for every user (nearly $400 per license). However, Movie Magic Scheduling is notoriously difficult to learn and navigate. Movie Magic Scheduling and StudioBinder both offer a Stripboard shooting schedule builder.
