Anonymous asked: I love the free version of the desktop software and was thinking about buying the plus version but I noticed it's on 2.9.7. I'm wondering if a 3.0 version comes out in the near future will I have to buy it again?
thepanaman asked: I just bought Celtx Desktop! I have been supporting Celtx throughout all of my film studies. The iPad apps are solid, and this desktop app is almost to its potential. If you continue to borrow a page from Apple's PAGES app, your software would be golden and worthy of all my money for the rest of my career. I love the direction you have been taking, and I hope to see an update which lets me...

Anonymous asked: I have been a paid user of Celtx studio for two years. I have the old version of the software installed on two machines and I had purchased packs for each. Few questions: Where's the procedure for moving my stuff from Celtx Studio to the new subscription service? Or can you just migrate my studio to the new cloud? Do I have to buy the new download separately for each machine I want to install...

Anonymous asked: Hello...I am brand new to Celtx and need to create a storyboard to go with my script. I am using Safari, have purchased Celtx Edge, but I do not have a "Create Storyboard" icon like all of the YouTube videos do...What am I doing wrong?
Anonymous asked: How far back can you go on the revisions. I want to look at a scene written yesterday, and my co-writer made some changes earlier this morning, goes back a finite number
Anonymous asked: How do I delete Celtx projects from the cloud? I am unable to do so.
Anonymous asked: I have written two short films. Both are about 9 pages in length. My dad feels that with respect to the second script, it should be longer because he feels that's not long enough to properly develop my characters; plus when I told him about my second script, he said it wasn't unique enough for him to be interested enough in reading it. How long should a short film be and how do I know...
Anonymous asked: How do you add a title page on free trial celtx. I don't know where to input my information.
Anonymous asked: I started typing a script on free Celtx software and loved it! After years of writing scripts on Word this is a god-send. However, when I go in to edit this script now, suddenly the margins are all tighter: the character margins are where the dialogue margins USED to be; the stage direction margins are squeezed very tight... and I don't know how to change this... every time I try to type...

Anonymous asked: Hey guys, how can I import a script to my Celtx Desktop from my Celtx Edge online account?? The only reason I want to import it to my desktop celtx is so I can then open it from my Studios and share the file with another writer. Please help! Thanks, Alberto Tihan
sarcasticallyironic asked: I have been using Celtx for almost a year now, and I absolutely love it. It is simply the best tool for writing my scripts, and the ability to write from all of my devices and keep them perfectly synced is just amazing. That said, when I got to the Celtx site on my iPad, it kind of sucks. Pages don't load fully, photos from Celtx Scout take up to much of the page, and overall it just...

Anonymous asked: Hello. When we convert a .TXT file to CeltX Desktop, is there a way to make CeltX convert the scene headings, the names into characters and the dialogue? Thanks,
Anonymous asked: Cannot simply find any direct way to just migrate my stuff from C studio to this new cloud stuff. All my stuff is on Studio and I can't get to it from the cloud account. How does this work? Why isn't there just a button in the cloud version—Get my Celtx Studio stuff. I used to work on LMS and we had a button like that for teachers to just move their stuff from one semester to the...
Anonymous asked: I'm a relative newcomer to Celtx and have downloaded Celtx Script to my iPAD2 and the free version of Celtx to my desktop. Has anybody else had problems with syncing Celtx Script to Celtx desktop via Cloud Services? It appears to work only intermittently. Is this a known problem? Jon.
Anonymous asked: Hi, You have me a bit confused with all your offerings. I started using the free version of Celtx sometime ago as a substitute for Final Draft AV, which has never been upgraded for use with Lion on the Mac. I loved Celtx and upgraded to the Plus version. I then created a Studio account. Now you are introducing Edge. Is this meant to replace Studio? Why would I want to pay for Edge if I have a...

Attention Mac Lovers!
Both flavours of our desktop software, free and premium, and our cloud accounts work fine with both OS X Mountain Lion and Safari 6. If fears of incompatibility were responsible for your hesitation, let me put them to rest.
Feel free to upgrade with your characteristic verve and gusto!
ellisanthonyandysuttonjr asked: How long should a short film be? I had written two so far and my dad tells me that they seem too short at their length of approximately nine pages each. I know that the standard is one page per minute of screen time. But I and my dad seem concerned about whether the page length will translate to the right length.
Anonymous asked: Hi everyone at Celtx, and thanks for all the good work you do. Now - why are my page numbers in the working script (which I selected with "Pagination") different to the page numbers in TypeSet/PDF? It's driving me kinda nuts because… because… well, you know how screenwriters are about their page numbers!

We can't all see The Dark Knight Rises on opening...
Yes, I wish I could be there. But in the meantime, as the world [read: Tumblr] gets increasingly spoilertastic, I’m going to have to limit my exposure. And this makes me sad.
Remember, friends don’t let friends spoil movies.

asummerlovintortureparty asked: Hello, a friend told me about Celtx so I thought I'd give it a shot. I went to the homepage and set up an account. I was all ready to download it, but it appears that I can't. There is not a "downloads" tab on my account at all. I really could use help figuring this out because it's driving me crazy. The only tabs I see are "resources" "software" and...

Anonymous asked: I have tried using Celtx Forums for script input, but I have rarely gotten responses accept for my first script (which was apparently extremely bad until I drastically re-worked it.). I was wondering if you know of any other good places (that are free) to get script input. I know you mentioned one months ago but it requires completed scripts and I like to ask for help as I go along.
