Celtx is super fun and easy to use! A lot can be done on this very efficient software. One can write scripts for films, television, music videos, or even short format scripts. It comes packed with ready-to-use templates for all sorts of writing projects - film, theatre, audio-visual, audio play, comic books, and novels. It is also great for storyboarding. When writing, it offers a great advantage by automatically identifying whether it is an action, a dialogue, a parenthetical, or anything else. It really makes writing scripts fun and organized.

I love everything about the software. Although I still have a functional desktop version with myself, I think they have transferred everything online now. While that is better for a lot of reasons, I personally prefer the desktop version, and I'm not sure if it is still easily available online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Es una forma sencilla de trabajar, Sin interrupciones, Dando una forma lógica a tus ideas y a tu creatividad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Es un poco complicada la forma en la que te muestra los personajes en un listado con la referencia de las escenas. Si quiero tener un resumen de qué personajes están en cada escena e imprimirlo se hace de una forma sencilla Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to figure out, good formating too, allows multiple drafts, scene navigation, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish you could format scripts seamlessly to word or open office format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Celtx has a great deal of cooperative elements that permit many individuals to deal with a similar content together. This is perfect for movies and creation group included can see the content, make changes to it, productive conversation can occur and leave notes. All can occur continuously. I suspect as much, this is an extraordinary device for understudy film student and new commers, who put aggregate exertion in the venture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A popular saying is - Handyman, expert of none - and this is what carries out on Celtex as well. Being an essayist, I need to work just on my content with center and improve on the way. Thus, I don't require additional elements that make my work slow. Assuming any product is centered on working that I think performs better compared to some other who offers different capabilities. Exploratory writing is a practice field and it must be treated in a practice way. Complex working finds opportunity to make and test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Celtx makes script writing fairly intuitive with the ability to list your character names, select actions and generally format a proper film script. There is very little that this program cannot do to help a budding writer get their first script off the ground. Also, it allows you to test the software for free before purchase.

The price per month makes this a bit of an expensive solution. Though fairly reasonably priced for the solution overall if you are already running a business in this area, for someone who is just starting in film production, having extra costs monthly may prove a bit difficult.

That I can share my project...my progress and collaborate with my team. I appreciate the index cards and comments especially because feedback makes the project come together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be glitch when two people are working on the program at same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The template is easily set and readily available. I love the use of the comment field and the ability to have my editor access my information and adjustment in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Every so often, it gives me an internet connection loss error which prevents me from working continuously. Even though, everything isn't perfect. I need this software to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like to say that if you stick to the free version, you have nothing to loose. But even that would most likely be a lie. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I paid about $130 for the service and it's created more problems than I could have ever expected.
As I would return to my script, I could swear updates weren't being saved. At first I thought it was all in my head. Then one day 8 pages vanished, even though I religiously save my work. There were so many other issues--page counts kept randomly changing, changes weren't being saved, it takes forever for the script to load when you re open it, I'm not able to delete text (I have to erase letters one by one). SO MANY ISSUES and new ones just keep popping up on a weekly basis.
When I brought this to their attention, they had no solutions. At one point, I had to start a new ticket because they just stopped responding. There were so many problems (I haven't even typed them all out in this review because there are so many and it's very time consuming and aggravating to properly explain them), so I asked if I could get on the phone with them to explain or have a screen sharing session with a technician. They said no, because they only provide support through email.
This has been the biggest waste. Not just of money, but of time and peace of mind. When you spend so much time writing, it's a nightmare thinking that your changes may not be saved. Every day, there are new bugs and absolutely no remedies. They haven't offered to do ANYTHING.
Please save yourself this headache and either buy a trusted software with actual tech support or write your own script through Word or google docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The one-stop nature of Celtx makes it easy to Collaborate with our teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not been able to log in where there is no internet access, having the ability to work off line any time would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It´s simplicity. It´s easy to load. Easy to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only think I really dislike it´s the shootlist. It´s works very well but in 4 years I can´t get used to it´s format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the ability to access Celtx online. I used this program in my screenwriting courses during undergrad, and it was a downloadable program. Now that it is in an online cloud format, I can work on my scripts anywhere, regardless of which device I am accessing them. Additionally, I can now collaborate with my friends and colleagues on a script and receive feedback quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I miss having Celtx as an installable program, as the format that I used prior is no longer available. While there are many advantages to having a cloud-based design, it is limited by having access to the internet, which you did not need to have when it was a free downloadable program. While there is an "offline mode" for Celtx it is limited to users using their free trial or paid subscription. This means that anyone using a free account will have difficulty working without internet access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
