Cut To Fade

Cut to Fade is a screenwriting app built by a filmmaker, for the whole journey from first idea to the last shot of the day. Write a properly formatted script, shape it on a Story Board, then take it to set with a shot list that stays linked to your pages.

WRITE WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT FORMAT - One continuous page with a six-button format bar above the keyboard: Scene, Action, Character, Parenthetical, Dialogue, Transition - Type INT. or EXT. and it becomes a scene heading; Tab and Return move between elements the way screenwriters expect - Smart paste recognises headings, character cues and dialogue - Dual dialogue, bold, italic and underline - Dictation: say "Interior kitchen night… Sarah says where were you" and get a heading and a speech - Paper or Night page, adjustable text size, Find & Replace

INDUSTRY-STANDARD PAGES - 12pt Courier PDF with correct margins and proper page breaks - US Letter or A4, Screenplay or Multi-Camera (sitcom) format - Act breaks for TV: COLD OPEN, ACT ONE, END OF ACT ONE, TAG - Title page, scene numbers and CONTINUEDs for shooting scripts - Lock a script and numbering works like a production: new scenes become 12A, cut ones stay OMITTED - Revisions in the standard colour order with asterisks in the margin, and locked pages that flow onto A-pages

SEE YOUR STORY ON A STORY BOARD - Every scene becomes a card on an infinite canvas, arranged by story beats - Drag a card and the script reorders to match - Frameworks include Three-Act, 15-Beat, Story Circle, Hero's Journey, Eight Sequences, TV Hour and TV Half-Hour, or build your own - Character lanes, reference photos, story links (sets up, causes, mirrors) and a page timeline that shows if your beats are landing on target - Export a beat sheet PDF

A SHOT LIST BUILT INTO THE SCRIPT - Add shots to each scene: size, angle, movement, lens, camera, cast, sound, VFX and stunt flags, setup time and a frame image - Shots are numbered from their scene (12-1, 12A-3) and stay linked through rewrites - Plan shooting days with call and wrap times - On Set mode: check off shots, see your projected wrap, and push unfinished shots to another day - Export PDF (with frames) or CSV, or Send to Crew so your team can check off shots on their own device - Final Draft shot elements import as shots automatically

REWRITE, COMPARE AND COLLABORATE - Compare Drafts and named Snapshots you can restore at any time - Comments with replies, and Send to Co-Writer: when their copy comes back it lands as the next draft with both sets of comments merged - Reading Mode with Apple Pencil notes and an annotated PDF - Table Read: hear your script aloud with a different voice for each character - Statistics, a breakdown report, scene tags and colours, Rename Character or Location everywhere at once - Daily writing goals with streaks

WORKS WITH YOUR FILES - Import and export Final Draft (.fdx) and Fountain, plus plain text - Print or share an industry-standard PDF
