In Celtx you first choose which type of project you want to produce. This way, your experience of production is specialized, while you can have several different projects in progress, all handled by the same program. So you can both write on a screenplay and make a cartoon while switching between the two without having to leave the program. If, for example, you choose to produce a play, you are not only given the opportunity to just write the piece's action and dialogue. Celtx gives you the tools to produce visual representations of the scenes, where you can determine the players' positions, as well as insert arrows, for example, to illustrate which direction the actors should leave the scene in.
Of course, this feature can also be used for the production of movies and storyboards. For example, as below, where the players' positions in this scene are illustrated.
Here is also illustrated how this scene is intended to be filmed as an over-the-shoulder shot, as well as what type of lighting the scene should contain and where this lighting should be placed. When embarking on the use of a new program, it is important to find it around. Celtx is user-friendly like most popular computer programs, where you have a number of drop-down menus on the top that you can navigate around. In the right and left side of the program you will find the tools that the program provides to you.
All this is illustrated below. During the settings, you can choose which functions you want to use. You can therefore also choose the things from which you do not need, so that they not only fill in the layout, which makes it even more manageable.
Celtx is the perfect tool for the production and organization of media projects. It contains a wealth of options and features that it requires a larger expert than us here to manage, but in its simplest form, Celtx is useful for anyone who wants to try their hand at this type of program. It is downloaded and installed quickly and then you can freely click around and explore the possibilities. From writing a script to tracking production costs, this software is ideal for filming either a solo project or full shoot with staff.
Celtx Script offers a tiered pricing option so you can try it free at first and buy more features as necessary. The program is described as a blueprint for your videos, a very apt description. The basic features revolve around the script writing aspect of movie project, offering a lot of little tools to make life easier. The planning phase is supported by tools to turn your script into a shot list, a very useful visual reference which lets you plan the logistics of a shoot.
You can then schedule dates and locations. When shooting you have the power to create call sheets to organize your crew, plus you can revise scripts on the fly to reduce retakes. Lastly, on set the software can be used on a mobile device, synced with your project. A great deal of thought has gone into Celtx Script, not just in adding features but how those features are implemented.
You can even add nodes and media to the script. Even the mobile version has access to a ton of tools, such as creating storyboards and lighting setups. Put simply it does not hold your hand, but can help you get a lot more done. Aesthetically, the software is very easy on the eye, which can be important during a long day of filming. At the basic level you are mostly limited to just script writing, but the costs are not high to adopt all the other features that let you manage a shoot in detail.
The additional mobile tools make this very versatile on set and well worth the cost. I do not recommend using Celtx, it is just a weird program, lost a script altogether on it once. Back to the drawing board on this one. I cannot write an important story because this app keeps crashing every time I type a single letter. After crashing and reopening, the project saves the script in a William S. Burroughs "cut-up" method, and phrases missing all together.
I don't have a lot of money as it is my life choice of wanting to be a screenwriter , and so my heart and soul aches so much knowing I can't properly compose my work. I had to update to the Big Sur OS and my old illegally downloaded Celtx from became obsolete, hence making the leap into this super expenisve crummy software.
How does one even justify spending that much money on something that doesn't actually exist. Well, I suppose because the older version has treated me so kindly over the years and I'm naive enough to think people and the people behind art tools such as Celtx create to help and support others, just as I strive for with my own work. I guess I'll be bad and wander the cyber streets to find an old celtx again that is compatibe with this newer OS? Yes perhaps I'll catch the clap, but that burn will be worth it for the passion of writing.
This app has been a disappoinntment and a waste of money First, the bugs: you can't use. Close your project or have it crash on you, and you will not be able to open it again, because every time you try to open a file writtten in stageplay format American AND international.
