Free Scriptwriting Software
If you want some extra help formatting your movie scripts, there is a whole bunch of free scriptwriting software available. The great thing about screenwriting software is that it will sort out the formatting for you – leaving you to concentrate on your writing.
Some have more extra features than others. If you need these extra features, then great. If not, then they can become a distraction.

Some of these free script writing softwares are run online, and some are used offline, needing installing on your PC.
Here’s a run down of some of the best free screen writing software:
Trelby
Trelby is totally free and has some really cool features. Interestingly it has a name database that contains over 200,000 character names from various countries. Now there’s no excuse to naming your lead action character “Max Payne”!
PlotBot
PlotBot is a free online script writing software tool, so there’s nothing to install. You can write scripts solo, or allow friends to edit and work on them. If you do collaborate and don’t like what they did, you can easily return to an older version.
RawScripts
RawScripts is another free online screenwriting software. You need to sign in with your Google or Yahoo ID.
Page2Stage
This simple script writing software used to be paid, but is now available free. You need a login and a password to unlock it. Both are given on the website.
ScriptBuddy
You can sign up for a free version of ScriptBuddy. If you like it, there’s the option of upgrading to the pro version.
Celtx
Not only does Celtx format your movie script, it has many other tools such as storyboarding, organising notes, organising shooting, scheduling, budgeting etc. The down side to having so many features is that is takes a longer to learn how to use it.
