Screenplay

Writing and managing the episode screenplay in Fountain format.

The Screenplay page is where you write and manage the script for an episode. Screenplays are written in Fountain format — a plain-text markup language designed for screenwriting.

Tabs

View

Displays the screenplay as formatted HTML with Fountain syntax highlighting. The right side shows a beat list — a navigable list of scene headings — so you can jump to any scene in a long script.

Edit

A raw text editor for writing Fountain markup directly. Use Save to persist changes, Cancel to discard. The Load Template button inserts a starter structure if you're beginning from scratch.

After saving, click Review Screenplay to send the text to an AI analysis pass.

Change Source

Links the screenplay to an external source:

  • Google Docs — paste a sharing URL; the platform fetches the latest version on refresh
  • Final Draft XML — upload a .fdx file export
  • Local file — upload a Fountain .fountain file

Use the Refresh button to pull the latest version from the linked source. Unlinking removes the connection and returns to local editing.

Asset Mentions

Shows all characters, locations, and props mentioned in the screenplay text, detected by name matching against project entities. Use this to spot missing assets or ensure consistency between the script and your entity library.

Scene parsing

When the screenplay is saved, the platform parses it to extract scenes:

  • Each scene heading (e.g. INT. KITCHEN - DAY) becomes a scene entry in the episode's scene list
  • The scene text (action lines and dialog) is stored separately and used for AI generation
  • Saving the screenplay clears derived fields (shot lists, directions) on affected scenes so they can be regenerated from the new text

Screenplay Review

The Screenplay Review page runs an AI analysis of the full screenplay. You can configure the review instructions at the project level and run the analysis at any time. Results stream in and are rendered as markdown. A timestamp shows when the last review was generated.
