Weighed against everything else writers asked for. Your vote counts here.
Writing a series, each episode needs its own shape: its own Anchor Beats, a pilot that resolves its story while leaving the season's threads open, and a way to see how the episodes add up across the season. The Structure would show every episode's beats, and the season's, side by side.
“If it’s called StoryFlow, I’d want it to not only help my script flow and work better in the final draft, but also help guide me section by section so I can flow through the process seamlessly.”
In a conversation with the team, a writer asked whether the studio could point them to how a produced screenplay handled a moment they are struggling with. Building tension from an unseen threat, for example, they might be shown a scene, a passage or a line of dialogue from Alien.
“I wanted to see if the AI could respond to me in a more conversational tone, rather than so formal… like two writing friends having coffee, so once I prompted, it was able to do that.”
When two characters talk over each other, a script sets their speeches in two columns. It would be great to write dual dialogue right on the page and see it the way Final Draft shows it.
It would be great to have a quick visual cue that says the story is slowing here and not much is happening. Not a fix, just a place to look.
A quick count of words, pages and scenes would help while revising to length. It would be great to see it without leaving the page.
The roundup comes once you have been away for a while. Some writers may want it less often, such as once a day. Whether to offer that choice is still being decided.
Today the Advisor knows one project at a time. It would be great if it could see across everything you are writing, so it can connect a lesson from one script to another.
Once a production is shooting, the pages themselves need to hold still. Page 12 stays page 12, new material becomes 12A, and only the pages that changed go out in the new color. Scene Lock keeps the scenes in place across the whole script, and Locked Pages would do the same for each page.
