Description

"When I mark up my script, I use Scriptation now." - Kathy Bates
"Scriptation changed my life. Every time you get a new draft, it transfers all your notes." - Sophia Bush
Scriptation, the Emmy® winning PDF annotation app for the film, television, and video industry, is the revolutionary app for production that intelligently transfers your annotations, notes, and markups into new script revisions.
NOTE TRANSFER - THE SCRIPTATION DIFFERENCE
If you've ever had 30 revision pages on a 40-page script, you know how time consuming it is to copy your notes to new script pages. Scriptation's proprietary note transfer algorithms analyze script changes and transfers every note to its corresponding location in the next draft in literally seconds.
ANNOTATE
Pen and paper, meet stylus and tablet. Scriptation offers a full set of annotation tools that allow you to highlight text, type notes, add photos, insert stickies, record sound, and more.
ORGANIZE
You can finally get rid of that 3-ring binder. Scriptation gets you organized by keeping all your scripts, call sheets, schedules, and production documents in a digital production binder.
LAYERS
Want to separate notes based on meetings? Or share your thoughts with your department? Scriptation's annotation layers makes it easy to navigate between sets of notes.
PAGE MAKER
Insert facing pages, set plans, photos, diagrams, and more, and transfer them into new script revisions. You can even ditch paper sides by creating your own with all your notes.
AUTO HIGHLIGHT
That table read script isn't going to highlight itself. Or is it? Built for actors but customized for sound mixers, Scriptation automatically highlights character lines with the tap of a button.
READ / REHEARSE / RECORD
Elevate your rehearsal process with customizable character voices, line reminders, and scene looping. Use as a read partner or teleprompter for self-tape auditions. Set recording delays for slates and access Auto-Highlight within Reader Mode.
TAGGING
Break down your script into customizable categories and generate reports. Add scene descriptions, notes, and images to your reports. Export as a formatted PDF or a CSV to integrate the data into other spreadsheets.
LINING
Professional script supervisor lining tools to streamline your workflow. Easily mark up your script, track coverage, and maintain continuity across scenes and revisions.

Almost perfect

Works well for me in almost every way prepping feature films, I only wish documents/notes would sync better between iPad and MacBook. I’m quite often switching between machines and although I have the same PDF syncing through iCloud, it takes a while to update and I have to re-open it a few times for my notes to update across both devices. It does slow me down a lot and I wish this was more realtime, then it would be a much smoother creative and productive process!

UK script supervisor

This is truly a fantastic app for anyone in the tv or film industry. I’m a script supervisor and have by and large taught myself how to use Scriptation. But having recently watched some of the many tutorials it’s clear to see that every department can benefit from this app from the actors, design, directors, producers, script supervisors and I’m sure others too! It allows you to work on multiple documents all in the one app and generate documents, import and export documents. Create layers that can be made visible or invisible depending on which department you may want to send the docs to. Customise your documents to facilitate your own work flow. And the team behind it are so helpful. They respond and help with any queries SO quickly! I cannot recommend Scriptation highly enough! It’s great!

Scriptation

With some trepidation I took the leap and ditched my trusted script binder for an IPad, IPad pencil and Scriptation. Game changer. Not only saving me probably in the region of 20 hours of work transferring notes between drafts, Scriptation has made me on point at all times. Want to ask me about the schedule? No problem. Want to see how that dialogue used to be? Sure. Want to refer to my standard Director notes? Click click. Fast. Efficient. Brilliant. Oh and most importantly - they reckon I’ve saved 1800 pages from being printed on one project alone. Seriously. Please. Get involved.

Amazing solution to late scripts

I love this software so much. It means you don't hate script amendments and can embrace improvements and updates without having to start ahead with notes and breakdowns. Love using the layers for different kinds of annotations - images, notes, scribbles, set plans, camera plans etc - and also love the actor colour coding - maskes the script spring to life in fronty of you!! Totally rely on it and means it;s possible to keep multiple episodes open as tabs and jump around a multi-episode block while hanging on to everything. As a director I couldn't do my job properly without it!

Software issues

On the surface of it, a life changing app for anybody who needs to work on scripts on the go and with lots of pages. The tools are great and ideas behind them perfect - but the execution of them does not make this a piece of software that is actually that versatile or reliable at all.
Too many glitches on the Mac and iPad apps to list. The app crashes whenever I attempt to simply delete a page of a document. Not to mention the fact that the selection tool seems to disappear and reappear whenever it pleases….

Infuriating small things

This app has a lot of features out for free, which is great because I’m 17 and do not have any money. However, the app has a lot of very small annoying little things that you cant get without premium. E.g. not being able to edit the pages into decent positions. I had an even amount of pages, and this app made it so the first and last page were full pages (one page on A4), then made all the middle pages like books (two pages on A4). Im going to find an app that’ll let me remain consistent, but this feels impossible now.

Why is this a subscription model?

Just like the many other rip-off developers that don’t rely on third party resources (developer costs), there is absolutely no reason why there should be on going cost for this app other than greed. Moreover, it simply doesn’t warrant the permanent ownership costs. For this reason we have decided not to use this software.

Paperless for the win!

Thought out my career I have been aware of how much paper we waste in the industry. Now as a director I could be working on four scripts at a time in a block. It has cut my waste down massively, and is far more convenient having all scripts and camera plans together in one place. The customer support team has been excellent in helping when I have had any questions, and also open to suggestions of how to improve the app. Annotating is easy, adding pages is a breeze, haven’t had to add any amendments yet so can’t comment on that. I also like how it automatically saves, and how easy it is to share across other drives/clouds. Hope this becomes the industry standard. Excellent

Game changer !

Working in Film and TV, Scriptation is the software I had been waiting for. Perfect for annotating pdf scripts, smooth and responsive interface, lots of great tools. The game changing feature is the ability to transfer notes from a previous draft to a new draft, which I used to do by hand.

Great app. 5 stars when the Mac OS version becomes available!

Love all the features. Sometimes Dropbox syncing can be a bit buggy (conflicted versions when I’ve not changed files) but generally a superb app which is v user friendly and makes working with scripts easy.

I don’t ever want to annotate only anything else

So, I’m a film student, I just finished my second year, and this is the first time I’ve settled on any kind of app or something for annotating scripts. It’s super seamless, and I’ve got a super chill workflow using Scriptation. I’ve already recommended it to a load of people, and I plan to continue doing so!
Keep up the great work, love the app. It’s a hoot. 🦉

GREAT APP

This is a great app and has loads of easy features which make the ever burgeoning script amends and re-issues disappear.
I’d love a few wrinkles to be ironed out - easy toggling between layers so I can sit in a scene and tap between say blocking, character notes and episode dynamics.
I use an app to create cam plans - an easier way to view side by side and drag and drop plans into he relevent scene would save a lot of time.
Also being able to export a plan as a pdf from the page itself
Would be a time saver - but if you are sick of carrying huge files around, and transferring notes from version to version get this now!

Time saving and fun

Great product. Totally transformed the way I can prep a tv series. Scriptation have thought of just about everything. Would like to be able to select more than one image at a time when adding photos. Only had one problem when a script became corrupted halfway through working on it. Was not able to add any new annotations so had to re-import and manually transcribe notes from corrupted version.

Literally saves me hours

I use this to mark up scripts for actors recording audio product. I make roughly 500 annotations per script and this transfers them direct to updated scripts in two minutes. I now insist all my cast and crew use it too. I’d love to see a desktop version and the ability to save an annotated updated script back to Dropbox but these are tiny niggles with a great app.

Not only a great app

This app is fantastic. I am a drama recordist in uk and use this all the time. Actor highlights are one of the most useful amongst many of the apps great features. But along with this comes great support, any problem that I have encountered has been resolved quickly and always with a positive outcome

Scriptatious!

I thought I could live without a hard copy and all my hand drawn scribbles and diagrams. I was wrong! This app is intuitive and intelligent - clearly designed by people who work or have worked in film & tv. I hope they keep improving it with new functionality ie. easy interfacing with Hollywood Shot Designer files and Artemis Pro for instance.

Changed my way of working

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. This app has saved me so much work that I would usually do by hand. Works really well with the Apple Pencil.
I’ve just used it to mark-up and share a 65 page multi camera script which has gone through various drafts over the last few weeks.
Great App and excellent support!
Thank you.

Wonderful time saver

Just started using this on a tv series, and it's blissful not having to transcribe all of my script notes into each and every draft of the script. On an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil, it's so easy and productive. Enjoying it a lot, thanks
