Speaker 1: We set out to round up the best selection of free screenwriting software options for the modern screenwriter. What you've found here today are our top picks. Stay tuned to find out what they are. Fade In Fade In is one of the best free screenwriting software programs. Some of its best features are real-time collaboration and the fact you're not restricted just to using scenes and index cards to organize your script. You can also color-code it and mark significant plot points, characters, and other elements as you like, giving you a personalized, clear overview of the story. Writer Duet Writer Duet allows real-time, collaborative work in which you and your writing partner will immediately see all edits made. And you can both filter any changes made by who made them, the date, and line. Writer Duet backs up your work locally when offline, and automatically syncs it once you reconnect. Its compatibility with other screenwriting software is equally impressive, allowing you to import and export Final Draft, Fountain, Celtx, PDF, and Word files. Trelby Trelby is a great open-source screenplay software featuring no locked features, no watermarks, no script limits. And if you know how to code, you can even modify the software yourself to suit your needs. Trelby is fast and simple, and it's able to import Final Draft, Celtx, Fountain, and Fade In Pro. Likewise, it can export to PDF, Final Draft, and Fountain, as well as HTML and RTF. Kit Scenarist Kit Scenarist is also a one-stop research, planning, and statistical hub. Kit Scenarist enables you to collect all your research for a script in one place—characters, locations, descriptions, photos, etc.—alongside the actual script itself. Plus, track statistics, such as how many dialogue lines each character has. Causality In other words, Causality is a new kind of screenwriting app that helps you develop the story on a macro level, visually, rather than get caught up in the weeds of each scene on a micro level. Causality will be able to give you an overview of the events, using its story sequencing engine to analyze your story's events. Highland 2 Beautifully designed and feature-abundant, Highland 2 handles formatting automatically, so you can focus on writing rather than worrying about menu commands. Highland 2 is able to indent characters, parentheticals, and dialogues as you type. Organize your screenplay by acts and sequences instead of slug lines, and much more. Arc Studio Pro Arc Studio Pro has a clear and distraction-free interface that lets you focus on your story. Improved collaboration features and smooth feedback management are also made to keep your workflow straightforward and efficient, while it keeps track of all your edits so that nothing gets lost. On top of that, an intuitive drag-and-drop and color-coding system lets you organize or rearrange your story in no time. PreWrite Compared to other screenwriting software programs, PreWrite is uniquely positioned as the first step in the writing process, with multiple layouts to view and analyze your work before exporting out to Final Draft or any program that opens .fdx to finish the job. Drama Queen Drama Queen has a range of handy features, including structuring a story in two steps, auto-formatting, an ideas panel, and drag-and-drop navigator. The ideas panel is particularly useful, allowing you to collect and edit all of your research and ideas in one place. DubScript DubScript is a mobile-based screenwriting software and reader. Overall, the functionality is pretty basic. Writers can add dual-dialogue, auto-complete, spell-check, undo-redo, find-or-replace, etc., but it's still a pretty decent free screenwriting software option. As you can see, there are some great free screenwriting software programs out there. Give them a test drive and feel what's best for your writing needs. There is no right or wrong answer here.
