Frequently asked questions
How Scriptsolo helps you write a screenplay, and what stays yours. New to screenwriting? Start with the guides on the blog.
Getting started
What is Scriptsolo?
Scriptsolo is a screenwriting workspace that helps you develop an idea, build an outline, write scenes, and turn the story in your head into a finished, properly formatted screenplay. You stay in control of the creative decisions while Scriptsolo helps you move the work forward.
Do I need to know how to write a screenplay?
No. You can start with one sentence about your movie. Scriptsolo guides you from that idea through characters, structure, and scenes to formatted pages. Experienced writers can skip the guidance and work directly on any part of a project.
Is Scriptsolo free?
You can start for free. The Free plan includes a monthly allowance of AI credits; paid plans include more for writers who use Scriptsolo regularly. See the Pricing page for current plans.
What can I write with Scriptsolo?
Feature films, TV series, and microdramas. Each format comes with its own structure: acts for a feature, episodes and seasons for series.
Writing with AI
Does Scriptsolo write the screenplay for me?
Only when you want it to. You can ask for ideas, explore alternatives, develop characters, revise an outline, write a scene, or make a very specific change. You decide how much help you want at every stage.
How do creative decisions work?
When a story choice comes up, Scriptsolo offers three different directions and a Write my own option. Changes to your idea, outline, or script are proposed first, and nothing lands until you approve it.
What are AI credits?
AI credits are used when Scriptsolo helps generate, analyze, or revise your work. Each plan includes a monthly allowance that refreshes every billing period. If you run out, your project stays available and you can keep editing by hand.
Your screenplay
Is my screenplay formatted correctly?
Yes. The Script editor uses standard screenplay elements (scene headings, action, character, parenthetical, dialogue, and transitions) set in 12-point Courier Prime on US Letter pages.
Can I export my screenplay?
Yes. You can export your screenplay as a paginated PDF with a title page.
Who owns what I write?
You do. Your ideas, characters, outlines, scenes, and screenplays remain yours. Scriptsolo is a tool for helping you create them.
Is my writing used to train AI models?
No. Scriptsolo does not use your private creative content to train general-purpose AI models. The Privacy Policy explains how your information and your work are handled.
Do you offer plans for teams?
Yes. We create custom plans for production companies, writing teams, schools, and other organizations. Email [email protected].
