CeltX is poop. Technically speaking.
Really? I've used it on our last few features and have found it to work great. Plus, of course, it's free.
I used Final Draft 6 on my PC, but once I moved over to Mac didn't feel like buying FD8 so went to CeltX - because it's free. But I have not enjoyed any writing in it at all and have not been able to get into it.
I actually work now on the demo FD8, save my files in the older format, and move them over to PC for printing and PDFing (for no watermark).
It's probably personal preference as much as anything but things like control over pagination, seeing where page breaks occur, and things that aren't off the top of my head are just painful not to have. I'm hoping to buy FD8 very soon and make all my pain go away.
I like everything about Celtx EXCEPT for the damn pagination.
Other than that though, I find it fairly easy to use.
But hey, what do I know? I just had a writer deliver a screenplay in Word. ;-)
Classic.
Any informed opinions on Scrivener for scripts?
I haven't used Scrivener, so I'm out.
