Pre Production Software: Script Breakdown & Scheduling Tools

Go from concept to camera with essential pre-production software tools

Breakdown

Easily identify, detail, tag, and track your assets for production using the script breakdown mode. Asset information from this feature powers other Celtx studio tools, like your project catalog, cast & crew, budget, schedule, and report.

Catalog

Get a single source of truth for all your production assets by department. Organize everything you need to know about your project’s talent, props, wardrobe, equipment, locations, and crew.

Shot List

Annotate your script with detailed shots to help the camera crew visualize each scene of your film. Describe the shot, camera angles, and movements, and specify the cast and equipment required for each scene of your production.

Schedule

Create shooting schedules using auto-populated stripboards. Make the most of each minute on set by organizing shoots and locations while balancing the availability of cast, crew, and assets.

Cast & Crew

Track every detail of your cast, crew, and vendors. An integrated project document structure automatically reflects changes to cast and crew across script breakdown, budget, schedule, and call sheets.

Sides

Save time (and paper) with the sides wizard, or build sides directly from your script. Generate and distribute casting call, rehearsal, and shooting day sides by character or scene with call times and locations.

Celtx Spotlight

David Rolfe

Last year, I was summoned out of retirement for one last feature. Now I think of all the films I made without Celtx and wonder how on earth I managed to do it – what a brilliant innovation! As we all learn to work more remotely and independently, Celtx keeps everyone on the same page without sacrificing the benefits of a collaborative and shared experience that all good filmmaking should be. Celtx offers a single point of reference for all cast and crew, updated in real-time. Bravo!”

Comments

Collaborate with your colleagues and add script-anchored feedback to your script. Use @mentions to notify others and keep an open dialogue until the best idea wins.

Presence Awareness

Collaborating in Celtx is easy. When more than one co-writer has a script open for editing, presence-awareness shows you their cursor position and highlights text changes in real-time.
