Adobe Story Plus / Features
Craft your story
Spend less time on process with easy-to-use scriptwriting tools in Adobe® Story Plus software, such as SmartType, Outline view, and Character Bios. You can easily preserve rich content and formatting when you import a finished script from Final Draft or Microsoft Word.
Industry-standard formatting
Let Adobe Story maintain the proper script formatting as you write. Choose from a range of standard script types.
Customizable script templates
Craft your story the way you want and save time writing scripts in different formats using customizable script templates. Modify the appearance of a script to meet the requirements of your production.
Script import and export
Import existing screenplays from Final Draft, Microsoft Word, Movie Magic Screenwriter, and other screenwriting software tools. Export to PDF, XML, CSV, TXT, Microsoft Word, or Movie Magic Scheduling.
Film, TV, and AV scripts
Create single-column scripts for films or audiovisual scripts for commercial documentaries, corporate videos, and broadcast productions.
Multicolumn scripts
Use multiple columns to describe different aspects of a scene, such as shot narrations, audio descriptions, and character lists.
History of changes
View and compare all versions and drafts, which are stored in the cloud and available offline. Keep drafts organized and accessible in a consolidated place, and gain peace of mind knowing your work won't get lost.
Side-by-side script comparison
Accurately find revisions made to a script to help ensure that your story remains consistent throughout the development process. Compare selected versions side by side.
Predefined character, set, and actor lists
Save time by defining character and set lists to be auto-completed as you type. Use character and location lists across projects.
Auto-completion tools
Use SmartType to quickly add frequently used character names, dialogue, and transitions, so you can focus on story content. Look up words quickly with easy access to dictionary and thesaurus tools.
Properties panel
Let Story automatically break down your scene. All scene properties including speaking and nonspeaking characters appear in the Properties panel.
Act breaks
Manage the flow of your story by organizing your script into grouped scenes within acts.
Multilocation scenes
Script a scene that involves more than one location, such as a phone call. Locations are formatted clearly in schedules you generate from the script.
Access to scripts from iPhone
Access your Adobe Story projects wherever you have an Internet connection. Leave comments on your script whenever ideas strike, and receive notifications on your mobile device as your Story projects are updated.
Online and offline access to scripts and projects
Work online through any Internet connection or offline with the Adobe Story Plus application.
Image import into AV/multicolumn scripts
Develop content-rich scripts by adding images from location scouts, personal libraries, or a storyboard to help narrate your story.
Collaborate with your team
Write your story in a modern, real-time collaborative environment with Adobe Story Plus, which offers the flexibility to work either online or offline while you maintain creative control of the script.
Project sharing
Keep team members involved in every stage of the writing and planning process by sharing entire projects. Assign different permissions for each member of your team, and stay informed with change and comment notifications.
Reviewing and change tracking
Streamline reviews by focusing on relevant changes. Track changes made to your Story document by dialogue, action sequence, or specific coauthor and selectively approve those changes.
Permission assignment
Assign levels of permission to each team member to control their ability to read, comment on, or modify your document.
Email notifications
Receive notifications for actions affecting a shared script, such as editing or commenting, or when a shared file request has been accepted. Stay current with team members' engagement and edits.
Stay on top of fast-paced productions
Plan your productions with this collaborative scriptwriting and scheduling solution. Smoothly manage script and schedule revisions, and use production reports to organize your team. Access projects anywhere you have an Internet connection.
Integration with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
Import script metadata directly into Adobe Premiere® Pro CS6 software and quickly search for important video elements such as scenes or characters.
Integrated scriptwriting and scheduling
Spend less time reporting and more time planning by creating schedules synchronized with your script. Your schedules update automatically as the script changes. You can also create a single schedule from a block of scripts.
Scheduling
Organize scene elements for efficient production using the stripboard view. Group scenes and add day breaks and banners. Create resource lists such as props and costumes that can be synced to changes in your script.
Production scheduling reports
Simplify on-set management by keeping all relevant information as editable production reports in your project. Use more than 10 types of reports, including call sheets, camera cards, and costume continuity.
Shooting scripts
Save time by staying organized with a shooting script. Add camera lines; list camera numbers, shot sizes, and camera moves to plan studio shoots; and easily switch back to the main script.
Production script revisions
Review script changes once you're in production. Easily identify changed scenes, or opt to include only changed pages when printing. Adobe Story Plus supports scene and page locking.
Dialogue numbering
Quickly identify dialogue for faster voice recording sessions by using automatic numbering of dialogue elements.
Tagger
Prepare for production with easy manual tagging of production elements such as props and sound effects. All tags flow into the stripboard when you create a schedule from your script. (Auto-tagging available for English only.)
Breakdown reports
Identify gaps in your story and save time in the planning process. Show reports of script properties and export them, with rows displaying each scene and columns showing each property category.
Project and category management
Set up a project and then navigate scenes in the script and other elements of the project with ease. Access the contents of your projects, including links to relevant web pages, in the Projects view.
Easy project organization
Create free-form documents like character bios, loglines, and synopses, and store them with the script in the same project for easy organization.
