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!

Hi FFW -- thanks so much for this wonderful review, we appreciate it!
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

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.

Time saving and fun
Don't have time to
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.
A few bugs kept dragging themselves back for one more sequel. This build is where the franchise ends.
- Improved stability when using Apple Pencil hover
- Improved reliability when saving large transfers
- Fixed a file size issue caused by author names with special characters
- Additional bug fixes and performance improvements
Enjoying Scriptation? We’d love for you to leave us a review! =)
