Title Page & Typesetting in Celtx Screenplay Editor

Video Transcript

"DREW NOAH: So now I'm going to show you how to use the Title Page feature and the TypeSet feature in the Screenplay Editor in Celtx. So if you want to add a title page to your script, just click on the Title Page tab and then you can have all these options. You can just enter in all the information for your basic title page. Of course, whatever actually is, Author, Based on, then you got Copyright and Contact Information. So you want to fill this stuff out to populate your Title Page. And to actually see your title page, you want to go to your TypeSet tab. And what this does is it takes the script that you've created in your Script tab that I've been showing you and then the Title Page you've created, and it writes out a formal script. And this will be the one you'd probably want to print out if you're going to give it to somebody, and you can also save it as a PDF to give to somebody which is really useful. But you see, here's my title page. It's in the correct format. It might look better if I filled it out correctly. And then, here is my script in the correct formatting. And you notice like my tags are gone 'cause this is meant to be printed or as a PDF, it's meant to be your finalized script and in the correct formatting and everything. So you see there are no options to actually edit on this page. It's just a view but you can zoom in if you like. You can easily skip around pages. Let's see, we've got some formatting options here, and this is basically almost print options. US Letter, A4, Show scene numbers, you can choose to show scene numbers if you want. Choose Title Page, More and Continuous, just some more kind of advance options here for the way you want your script to be formatted in its final version. And of course, saving as PDF is probably really useful function especially if you want to email it to somebody. PDF is probably the most very universal format to do that in. And then of course, you can print from here. So when you're done with your script, this is where you go to get your finalized version. And that's in the TypeSet tab. And of course, if you want a Title Page, go ahead and add that before you go to TypeSet because it's going to just formulate or reformat your script for you. If this have been a really long script, you might have taken just a little bit longer to actually format but it's going to take everything you've written in your Script tab and your Title Page and put it in a formal script for you to save as PDF for print. So that's the TypeSet tab and the Title Page tab in your Screenplay Editor in Celtx."
