Publish your screenplay with a poster, synopsis, genre tags, and cast. Browse scripts and actor profiles on Discover — producers find their next project, writers find their cast.

Share any script with other Pro or Team users by email. Grant read or edit access to up to 10 collaborators per project — no team required.

Save named snapshots before a big rewrite or table read. Restore any version to your current draft, preview it read-only, or export it as FDX. Up to 20 versions per project — Pro and Team only.

Production Board

Kanban-style board to track story beats, production tasks, or revision status. Drag cards between custom status columns.

Locations are auto-detected from scene headings — both when typing in the editor and when creating scenes from the outline. Add address details with Google Places autocomplete, photos, and notes.

Shot List

Plan every camera shot organized by scene. Choose shot type, movement, lens, and priority — then export a print-ready PDF for your crew. Available on all plans.

Props Tracking

Catalog every prop with photos, descriptions, and scene associations. Generate a print-ready props list for production.

Mood Board

Build a visual inspiration board with images and color palettes to define the look and feel of your project.

Anchored Script Notes

Select any text in the script and attach a note directly to that passage. Track TODOs, research, and feedback by scene position.

Teams & Collaboration

Invite your writing room with role-based access. Manage members and their permissions from the team dashboard. Share projects with read or edit access per collaborator.

Multi-language Interface

Drafthouse is fully available in English, Spanish, and French. Switch languages anytime from your account settings.

Cast Management

Track cast details, backstories, arcs, and relationships. Cast members are auto-detected as you write and extracted automatically when importing a script. Dialogue counts updated on save.

Scene Navigator & Outline

Jump between scenes instantly. Drag-and-drop beat board lets you reorder scenes — changes sync to the editor automatically. Create new scenes directly from the outline with location auto-detection.

Export & Import

Export to PDF with perfect formatting or Final Draft (.fdx). Import existing FDX files — cast and locations are automatically extracted and added to your project.

Smart Element Cycling

Press Tab to cycle through screenplay elements. Enter creates the logical next element. Writing flows naturally.
