Celtx

I have been terrible at posting. I know. But I just want to share that I downloaded Celtx last night and wow! I will probably end up getting Scrivener anyway, but this is awesome! Whee! Exclamation point

I use both Celtx personally and Final Draft professionally.

My official opinion is that Final Draft is only applicable on paid gigs, as it is the standard application. It is the equivalent of Microsoft Word; it's the standard.

I use Celtx for personal work because it allows me to collaborate with anyone, not just those who can afford an overpriced word processor.

In the end, you are probably going to distribute the script as a PDF, so the application you use to get there is arbitrary.

Cool. I had totally forgotten that you would be a perfect person to talk with about this. At this stage in the game, I am just looking for something that seems intuitive to me. Having now messed around with both Celtx and Scrivener I am liking Celtx more. I don't know if I will ever get Final Draft, unless someone says, "You must have this or we won't work with you." I like Open Source. Open Source is yummy.

Thanks for your input.

How's life in Cali?

I has a baby now. @_

Yay! Babbehs! I knew there was one on the way, and considering the time frame figured they had arrived. Name? Size? I need detailed specs. Pics are good. ;-) How are you liking being a dad?

I agree about help files. They are your friend.

Also, I should probably point out that this is actually for a graphic novel script, so as long as I can get a PDF in the end, I am probably set. So Celtx is a win!

Thanks again for your help.
