Story CC Plus / Features

Lock offline documents to prevent changes by coauthors — changes are automatically synced the next time you log in online. If documents were unlocked and changes were made, they can be accessed as revisions.

Collaborate easily with writing partners and production teams by sharing a project in Story CC Plus. Control whether project team members can read, add comments, or modify the scripts, schedules, reports, and other documents in a project.

Optimize your shoot with schedules created from one script or many scripts. Each scene is represented as a strip that can be sorted to help ensure you get the most out of every day you shoot. Move strips; add day or meal breaks, and company moves; choose which properties are displayed; and more.

Get standard, professional script formatting automatically. Layouts, dialogue, and page breaks update as you type, and auto-completion tools allow you to quickly add frequently used character names, dialogue, and transitions after typing the first few characters.

Add camera shots to your script as you plan your production and then use your schedule to generate scripts with scenes in shooting order. Choose whether to display camera tops and tails so you can see the previous and next shots at the top and bottom of each page, from and to details for each scene, and more.

Keep your schedule up-to-date by syncing it with the source scripts as they evolve. Choose which properties to update to maintain precise control — for example, sync changes to characters in a scene or the scene’s location, but prevent other properties, such as number of pages, from being updated.

Keep all departments organized and in sync with dynamic reporting. Timing reports help you track the timing of your production, camera cards make sure you get the shots you need, while other reports help track a variety of locations, wardrobe, and cast details.

Prepare a script for production with easy and flexible tagging of production elements, such as props, wardrobe, lighting, and sound effects. Use auto-tagging (available for English only) to quickly add tags to a script.

Use templates specifically designed for writing episodic dramas or feature films, or audio/video and multicolumn templates for content-rich script development. Modify the appearance of a template to meet the unique needs of your production and save for easy reuse.

Set up a project to keep related documents together — scripts, overviews, and character bios — and use categories to organize related projects.  Access the contents of your projects, including links to relevant web pages, in the Projects view.
