Scriptation, the #1 PDF annotation app for Film and Television production, is the only app that can intelligently transfer annotations between PDFs.

Whether you're a crew member on a big budget feature or a student working on your first production, Scriptation saves hours of time collating scripts and re-writing notes by hand.

THE SCRIPTATION DIFFERENCE

If you’ve ever had 30 revision pages on a 40-page script, you know how time consuming and tedious it is to copy your notes to new script pages. Scriptation’s proprietary note transferring algorithm, Transcription, analyzes script changes and transfers every note to its corresponding location in the next draft in literally seconds.

"Scriptation is a game changer for me. When a new draft comes out, I open the app and select which earlier version I want to import my notes from, and in less than a second, every note I have made is now transferred to the latest draft. Every time I do that it feels like a magic trick." - Michael Spiller, Primetime Emmy Award Winner for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series for the Modern Family episode "Halloween".

"The miracle of Scriptation is that any script notes you make can be transferred to their correct place in subsequent drafts. You don't have to waste time copying the same notes over and over. Everyone should have Scriptation!" - Alex Reid, Primetime Emmy Award Winner for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series for the Malcolm in the Middle episode "Bowling".

ANNOTATION TOOLSET

Use an array of features such as drawings, notes, free text, images, sound recordings, and so much more. Scriptation supports all common annotation types, and even includes a preset color picker that let’s you easily switch colors between highlights, underlines, and strikethroughs.

PREVIEW, BOOKMARK, SEARCH

With document previews, you can quickly scan through and bookmark script pages, making dog-eared scripts a thing of the past. And our search function allows you to find any text or annotation instantly.

SHARE DOCUMENTS

Email, text, or airdrop your annotations to members of your production team. You can choose to send individual pages or full drafts of the script with your notes on them. And, if you must, a printing option is also available.

FILES AND FOLDERS

Create folders with our robust document management system. Add scripts and production documents from the native mail app, or third party apps like Dropbox, Google Drive, and Gmail, and move them seamlessly into folders on Scriptation.

DROPBOX INTEGRATION

Connect your Dropbox account to the Scriptation App and import files into custom folders on Scriptation.

Reviews

Great script / screenplay annotating app!
Gabriel277

This app has great potential, features and possibilities and does what it says. I had some issues with it and emailed the developers and was impressed with their swift update and responsive care to resolve. Works great and is a pleasure to use.


Great potential
Gabriel277

This app has great potential, features and possibilities. But the most basic thing, I’m reading a script making notes and every time I open the app it starts me at page 1 again losing my place and forcing me to waste time. This is basic! What a waste of money if you can’t exit the app and pick up where you left off upon return. For the record I’m using this on an iPhone X


Very Helpful!

When I bought it on my phone I wasn’t able to open on my iPad, but Tech Support made sure to fix it so I was not frustrated and unhappy! TY!!!!


Leaps forward

I've been following this app from its inception and it vastly improved and it keeps on coming. The developers are very quick to adapt to the needs of the users. The import feature saves a ton of time when one gets new revisions of a script.


Fantastic App
Luke240

I've been working with this app for a while now and this update is a huge improvement. The note transfer function makes my job infinitely easier and their customer support has been awesome. For anyone who works in the industry this app is essential!


We've been waiting for an app like this...
Lpetzke

I have ben fumbling with paper scripts for years and wishing for an easier way to go digital than the PDF annotating apps in which you have to manually transfer notes...after a search for production friendly apps I found scriptation and I love it! It's not quite perfect yet (very close though!) The developers are so open to suggestions, are very helpful when I have any questions or make user errors, and keep making each version better and better. Not having to transfer notes is amazing! When a new draft comes out I'm ready to work within moments. I've already got many of my coworkers hooked on this app and they love it too


Finally a great app!
Art4artisArt

It makes script revision as well as shared notes to the Camera and the Art Department, as well as DGA UPM's and AD's from the director easy. Now we can all be on the same page with the latest info. Works like a charm.


Time savings app for filmmaker
LAcinematographer

I am a working cinematographer and like to make my camera and lighting notes, as well as pasted reference photos, on my scripts. This app not only allows add these annotations and notes in an efficient way, but helps facilitate the note transfer when I get a script revision. It's automatic! It saves tons of time over my old method of hand copy and paste which was such a pain.


Not just for script notes!
Dalyai

Finally, a tool for annotating script notes, shooting schedules, one liners and all document PDFs emailed from production. An invaluable way to immediately stay on top of all production document changes (that any dept. head gets on a daily basis).


GREAT!!
RAZeroFoo

You guys! You've made so many great improvements. It's a great tool for managing script revisions and all the notes I take within them. Thank you! Also, thanks for being so quick to respond to questions and suggestions. I can't wait to see what's next.
