What is Scriptation Industry Pro?

Revolutionize your workflow with Scriptation Industry Pro — the Emmy Award-winning toolkit for production professionals.



With its comprehensive suite of note transfer features, annotation tools, and collaboration functionality, Scriptation Industry Pro enables directors, cinematographers, script supervisors, cast, and crew — anyone who works above or below the line — to break down a script creatively or logistically.


Here are just some of the features you get when you go Pro:



📝 NOTE: AI Voices is a separate subscription add-on, not bundled with Industry Pro. See How does my AI Voices subscription work? for tiers, pricing, and how usage works.

Cloud Sync


Cloud Sync connects Scriptation to Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive, and OneDrive — keeping your notes in sync across devices and ensuring your files are always backed up.


Note Transfer


Our signature feature, Note Transfer, has four advanced Pro features:


  1. Collate Pages integrates and transfers notes to new page packets;
  2. Multi-Layer Transfer allows some or all of your note Layers to transfer simultaneously;
  3. Bookmark Transfer moves your carefully-placed bookmarks into the new draft;
  4. Compare Scripts generates a scene-by-scene breakdown of all the added, deleted, and changed text between drafts.



Facing Pages


Unlock the full potential of a digital workflow with Facing Pages. Customize your document by adding storyboards, set plans, shot lists, print logs, progress reports, and more.



Sides Creator


Sides Creator lets you select the scenes you need, organize them into shooting order, and distribute perfect sides to your team.



Layers: Show, Hide, and Share


Layers enable you to keep multiple sets of notes in one PDF file. Production details, tagged elements, blocking ideas, and performance notes for actors can each have their own separate layer. Instead of juggling department-specific PDFs of the script, simply show or share certain layers with team members so everyone sees the notes they need to focus on.




Info Layers


Info Layers expand upon our layers tool and can save you time by making it easier to navigate your script and can accelerate your script breakdown process. With Info Layers, you can quickly generate: Revision Colors to help you visually scan for colored revision pages; Large Scene Numbers and Scene Dividers to make scene breaks visible from a bird's-eye view; and, 8th Page Counts and Dialogue Numbers to quickly assist with your script breakdowns.



Saved Annotations


With Saved Annotations, create a custom library of your favorite stamps, icons, shapes, and images to use in all of your Scriptation files.



Tagging


Enter Tagging Mode to identify what each department needs for every scene. Assign customizable categories to the annotation tools and then export that information into PDF or CSV reports. Tags transfer like every other annotation, so it's the best way to track essential elements through every script revision.



Advanced Playback Features


Playback Mode — Scriptation's free script readback feature — gets three advanced Pro additions:


  1. Rehearse lets actors learn lines or run scenes out loud. Choose a character to rehearse as and Scriptation won't read that character's lines — so you can deliver them;
  2. Record uses your device's camera and microphone to capture your performance. Do as many takes as you need — by the time you're finished, you'll have a self-tape ready for any audition;
  3. Saved Voices saves your character voice assignments and pulls them into future scripts — great for recurring characters on TV shows.




Advanced Auto-Highlight Customization


Auto-Highlight automatically colors scene headings, action lines, character names, and dialogue. Industry Pro adds four ways to fine-tune Auto-Highlight:


  1. Highlight Format lets you choose to highlight just a character's name, just their dialogue, or both;
  2. Custom Colors lets you pick any color for an element instead of choosing from the defaults;
  3. Saved Colors locks in a specific color for a character so they appear the same way in every script you open — great for TV series with recurring roles. If you're an actor who's off-book, choose blackout to hide your character's dialogue;
  4. Color Presets let you build reusable highlight schemes so your color choices travel between scripts.



Lining Tools


Script supervisors can track coverage and manage slates with instantly-generated tramlines. Powered by intelligent scene heading and character name recognition, Lining helps you stay organized and saves lots of time and effort. It's the industry's best and fastest way to line scripts.



Analyze


Analyze is Scriptation's AI-powered script analysis tool — it compares a script's original and revised versions and generates a scene-by-scene report summarizing the most impactful changes between them, from minor dialogue tweaks to new props, and even discerns subtle tonal shifts between drafts. This AI-generated summary streamlines your workflow and saves time flipping between drafts to understand what has changed.



App Integrations


Send your tagged script and breakdown data directly to your favorite production tools — Cinapse, SetHero, Shamel Studio, Shot Lister, and Think Crew


Unlimited Open Documents


Keep as many scripts open as you need. The free version limits you to three documents open at a time; Industry Pro removes the cap so you can jump between every draft, side, and reference doc without closing anything.


Fewer Ads


Industry Pro removes ads from the File Browser and the note transfer window for a cleaner workspace.
