Tips for Using Celtx Screenwriting Software

Video Transcript

"DREW NOAH: So that's it, that's kind of an overview of everything you can do in Celtx. But I just want to wrap up and reiterate some of the coolest things about Celtx and then show you a link to a free screenwriting book. So just one of those splash screen right here, you can see I've got recent projects right here but if I click right here under "Samples" and if you get into the Wizard of Oz sample, Celtx has included a nice little treat in here for you. Under the bookmarks, you can see right here, there is a link to--it's called "A Crash Course in Screenwriting." So if you click on that link, you'll get this PDF right here, you get it for free: "A Crash Course in Screenwriting" by David Griffith. It's a real basic screenwriting book. I haven't actually read it 'cause I just discovered it myself but it should be pretty useful for--to learn the basics of screenwriting. And that kind of brings me into summing up what Celtx is to me and it's just--it is a free screenwriting software and that's kind of like you can just write some scripts and everything and if you're wondering if your script its really great and you decide to make it, well you got everything right here in the project library to plan that script out. So I think if you take advantage of everything Celtx has to offer, these character breakdowns, and all these production items, and then take advantage of other things like your schedule and you storyboard you can really get a lot out of it and plan a complete video production from start to finish, all the way from creating your screenplay to planning out your props and then planning your schedule and just about everything. So that's what Celtx is, it's free, it's at Celtx.com, C-E-L-T-X.com. All right, thanks."
