Hi everyone, I just have a few questions.

I just started screenwriting not too long ago, and decided to use Adobe's online software called Story, as it makes all the formatting for you.

My real question: Is Adobe Story actually any good to write in? If not, is there any other software I can use? For free, of course. My films are on a $0 budget basically, and I am completely not in the mood to pay for anything new.

CeltX is the go-to free one. There are some addons that have a token payment of a few bux, but you can do pretty much everything you'd need for nothing.

Never used Adobe Story. Still on CS4 here. Someone else will have, I'm sure.

There are some benefits to using Adobe Story if you'll use Adobe in post production. Other than a brief introduction to the software a while back, that's about as far as my knowledge goes.

From the small amount that I've used Story it seems pretty similar to celtx..making it pretty similar to all the others out there imo

See my post in this other thread: I've recently fallen in love with the WriterDuet / Production Minds combo.

For me Adobe Story has a "rigid" feel to it, WD feels more comfortable, and PM does everything you might need after you got your script (breakdown, casting, location scouting, crew organization, call sheets, etc.).

I ditched Celtx long ago. Way too bloated. Using Story now, as it's included with my subscription. Before Story, I fell in love with Trelby, a free screenwriter for Linux and Windows. Way better than Celtx ever was

There are many options now to have that, adds you can pay it. -Admission-service.com

I'm writing in it now. It seems okay.
