#CELTX COST MOVIE#
#CELTX COST INSTALL#

I started out years ago using ScriptThing for DOS which eventually evolved into Movie Magic Screenwriter which I used exclusively up until about a year ago. Well I have just about every program there is. rtf so that is a really good selling feature for me. Addundum: I just checked the site for movie magic and it says it exports to rich text format. Does it allow export/save_as to something generic, like text or rich text? If so, and if not buggy (I guess I should download the trial version), I could see myself going that route. Movie Magic looks good but I have not tried it. I can copy the screenplay from sophocles by highlighting it then pasting into a plain text file, then importing that text file to whatever (Celtx, Movie Magic), except as I said Celtx choked on the large text file when I did this.

I am hoping someone here who has a paid version of the new Sophocles can comment on the lack of export feature. For that reason alone I am inclined to pass on Sophocles. I do not care to be held hostage to a proprietary file format, I just do can not believe that Sophocles will not export to a. But today I noticed that there was no option to export or save my screenplay in any other file format other than sophocles proprietary file format (.scp) and that really really bothers me. I have been working on my feature screenplay using Sophocles beta (newest version), because that is what my Mentor uses and recommends. One thing I like about Celtx is that it allows exporting a screenplay to text or html- something NOT allowed by Sophocles.

Cost is not an issue though I know Celtx is free, but I can get Sophocles or Movie Magic at academic pricing making the cost worth it if the software does what I need.Ī few months ago I had been using Celtx but stopped when it was buggy and had an error in the page count yesterday downloaded the newer 0.977 version and it is buggy as hell also, could not install on one of my PCs, and today put it on another PC and tried to import and 80 page screenplay in text file format and it choked at 80% of the import and froze up. I have read negative things about Final Draft so that is not on my list.

I would like to choose between Celtx, Sophocles, or Movie Magic. I want to start using some regular screenwriting software, could use some advice.
