Screen Production Development Techniques with Celtx

Back in February I travelled to New York City to give a series of presentations and lectures on screenwriting and pre-production development using Celtx. We recorded one of those presentations and it is now availible online as a 3-part video series.

Part 1 - embedded below - looks at philosophy of creative process in Celtx, using it as a writing tool and techniques for generating and developing ideas that go beyond just typing out dialogue. Parts 2 and 3 expand on these techniques to encompass an holistic approach to pre-production development and look at ways you can use the Celtx platform to facilitate a broad span of creative and logistical processes. You can view all three parts on the Celtx page of this site.

Would it be possible for caltx to input final draft scripts? It would be very useful.....

If you read the various help sources for celtx you will see that it already does and can import scripts from other software. Export from final draft as txt and then in Celtx use the Import command. Celtx will interpret and convert the project.
