• Free Software for Free Artists. Screenwriters want to write. They don't want to be bothered with software licenses, how many computers they're allowed to use their writing software on, or silly features they'll never use. Screenwriter-mode is a plug-in for GNU Emacs, a free, cross-platform, text editor.
• This 'sequencing' methodology allows you to maintain your creative flow and encourages a structured approach to your writing. Organize Your Narrative Script Studio has powerful structuring tools to color-code your narrative into acts or sequences, and includes templates which many Hollywood blockbusters are based upon such as 'The Hero's.
• Slugline uses Fountain, the free and open text-based screenplay format that’s compatible with everything. And now it can open and export perfect Final Draft files, including dual dialogue and even notes. A4 paper support. Easier title pages. Courier Prime Sans for writing. Multi-colored Notes.

Best Free Screenwriting Apps

DramaQueen FREE is the freely available basic version of DramaQueen. It is the version into which the test version automatically transforms after the test duration expires.
Even DramaQueen FREE offers substantial advantages over what are to date the two most popular script writing applications Final Draft and Celtx.

Many good reasons for DramaQueen FREE:*

Perfect Formatting

With DramaQueen FREE you can format your script either individually or exactly according to the official rules of the Writers’ Guild.

Perfect workflow with Final Draft

Final Draft documents can be imported into DramaQueen with all their formatting and can be exported again from DramaQueen. DramaQueen transfers all text elements from and to Final Draft:

• Characters
• Locations
• Script Notes
• Scene Titles
• Scene Summaries

DramaQueen Free users can work effortlessly together with Final Draft users.

Free export into all popular file formats

DramaQueen FREE allows to export all texts into Word and Final Draft documents (among others), while preserving the formatting. If a document is to be exported from Final Draft or Celtx while preserving correct formatting, the only option is PDF.

Smart-Import of scripts (even from PDFs)

DramaQueen has the best script import which is currently on offer anywhere. The DramaQueen Smart-Import, which is already included in FREE, recognizes a script’s division into scenes. The formatting is automatically processed to adhere exactly to the international script formatting standard. A scene outline is created. Even scripts in PDF form can be imported in this way to be edited in DramaQueen.

Working with steps

DramaQueen FREE allows to structure a story into Steps.

Drag&Drop-Navigator

DramaQueen FREE offers a substantially better integrated Overview view to “grab” and move steps or scenes. Each step or scene is displayed neatly in one line. The Overview panel also offers room to give each step or scene a one line summary.

Platform independent

Best Screenwriting Apps For Windows

DramaQueen works on the Mac exactly as on Windows and even Linux. Handling, features and look are compatible on all three platforms and the text layout is absolutely identical on each (unlike in some other highly popular professional software). With this DramaQueen guarantees the highest user comfort in working across different platforms and operating systems.

Ideas panel

The ideas panel in DramaQueen FREE allows to collect and edit all ideas and research material for a story in one place.

Full screen mode

All panels in DramaQueen have a full screen mode, where the rest of the user interface auto-hides. This enables distraction-free, absolute focus on writing a plot, treatment or script, outlining or collecting ideas – all while making best use of screen space.

Auto-formatting a script

Besides formatting with short cuts, tab-key and popup selection, DramaQueen FREE has an additional option for script formatting that automatically recognizes the type of entered text. The benefit of this mode is that it seamlessly integrates into the flow of writing without additional steps like pressing control keys. The text of the script or selected ranges can even be auto-formatted afterwards with just one click.

Wide ranging layout and numbering options

While layouting the texts DramaQueen FREE offers i.e. a huge selection of fonts, font size, alignment, line spacing, glyph spacing, accentuations (bold, italic, underline, strike through, text color, background color), indents & spacings, page break and&paragraph flow, paper size & margins, position of numbers, page headers & footers, formatting options for the different script elements… The numbering of the steps and scenes can be locked or individually set.

Free Screenplay Writing Software For Mac Free

Page preview

From the first moment, all texts in DramaQueen FREE are layouted in page preview. The text rendering quality is on par with the Adobe Reader or even better. The display of text is always identically with export or printing, following the “what you see is what you get” principle. When a DramaQueen document is opened or printed by different users, the page preview will match for all of them (independent of operating system, software version or printer hardware). This makes communication much easier, because the last line on page 77 is indeed the same one for everyone. More about page preview and text rendering on our blog.

And of course: DramaQueen FREE is completely free of charge!

* DramaQueen FREE is – like the PRO and PLUS versions – constantly in development towards an open, free basis for the development and writing of (movie) stories.
