How to Read Your Screenplay

A quick guide to every button on the page — nothing here can hurt your screenplay, it's all just for your reading comfort.

1

Start on the title page

This is your screenplay's landing page — cast, logline, and two big buttons. The cast portraits are blurred at first for spoiler protection. Click any portrait to reveal it, or click a character's name for their full bio.

2

Read Full Screenplay

The main event — an immersive, scene-by-scene cinematic read of the entire script with AI-generated visuals for every arc. The first click loads everything (a few seconds); after that it's instant.

3

The toolbar inside Full Read

Four controls stay at the top of the screen the whole time you're reading:

  • 📜 Screenplay — toggle between the cinematic visual read and a plain, industry-format script page with no images.
  • ☽ / ☼ — switch between dark and light reading background.
  • A+ — cycles through three text sizes for the prose.
  • ✕ Close — exits back to the title page.
4

Reveal scenes and characters as you go

Every arc opens with a blurred hero image — click ◆ Reveal Scene to unblur it. Character chips work the same way: click the portrait to reveal, click the name for their bio. Your reveals are remembered if you come back to the page later.

5

Read Scriptment

A prose, scene-by-scene narrative version of the script — useful if you want the story beats without full screenplay formatting. Takes a little longer to generate the first time; instant after that.

6

Sharing the page

Use the Copy Link button on the title page to grab the exact URL to send to someone else — festival readers, producers, whoever you're sharing with.
