Instead of sending the script to the crew in the original Final Draft or Screenwriter MMX format, or even as a pdf, you can now create a special, encrypted file that contains the script information that the apps need but is unreadable if someone were to open the file directly. The ScriptE Encrypted format is for script coordinators who work on productions with crew using ScriptE apps such as ScriptE, DH Costume, and Department Head. You can also translate from a Final Draft 8/9 or Screenwriter MMX file to ScriptE Encrypted directly. **The pdf production script must have scene numbers and a page header with the page number at the far right end to correctly translate and must be formatted according to industry standards. Without the proper syncing plugin in place from the get-go, the initial user reviews in iTunes are decidedly negative if everything goes smoothly from here on out, perhaps they'll improve steadily and the $10 mobile app can make some inroads for Celtx - not just in terms of popularity, but profitability as well.Now you can convert pdf production scripts to Final Draft 8/9, Screenwriter MMX, or ScriptE Encrypted. It looks like the developers are going through some growing pains, however, as Apple's variable approval time took the team by surprise as their app went live on a Saturday. This is a welcome surprise given how clunky and homely the desktop Celtx application is on OS X.
Celtx Script (US$9.99) is the first iPad screenwriting app that “just works” in the way that Apple users expect. Kudos to Celtx for figuring out exactly what to include and what to leave out when designing a screenwriting app for mobile devices. "Digital rebel" Stu Maschwitz kick off his post on Celtx with the following: However, it seems the just-released mobile version of Celtx is ahead of the game instead of playing catch-up.
As a desktop screenwriting application, Celtx has never threatened industry stalwarts Final Draft and Movie Magic Screenwriter, despite its advantage (in terms of adoption) of being free.
