How to work with the KIT Scenarist after installation?

Paul Booker 14.04.2018 at 14:01 # Reply

Ideas for another guide?

I've had Scenarist for one day and its great! Thank you very much. I hope the following may be useful.

Scenarist: Quick Start

KIT Scenarist is for script-writing. As well as scripts, it features cards for an alternative overview or text-style storyboarding, mindmaps for ideas, organizing research notes and images.

NOTE: Even if you only want the cards feature, it is easier to start setting them up in Script mode. Script mode will create cards for you.

Working in script mode with 'Outline' highlighted, a line of text in the script can be formatted four ways, indicated by using the dropdown menu. On completing a line, the menu will guess what prompt to offer for the next line.
A line of script is formatted as
a/ a folder, prompting a scene heading
b/ a scene heading, prompting a scene description
c/ a scene description or
d/ scene characters

and thus set out a basic structure where a folder represents an 'act', or set of scenes, which are numbered. Thus each scene has a heading and description. Inserting a new scene will re-number the scenes and update cards.

Deselecting 'Outline' does two things: it hides scene description; and adds functionality to the dropdown menu.
b/ scene heading now prompts action
e/ shot, prompts action
f/ character, prompts dialogue
g/ title
h/ dialogue
i/ parenthetical, prompts dialogue
j/ transition, prompts scene heading
k/ non printable text
l/ action.
The scene description can now be made visible using 'Show/hide scene notes'.

The transition line is right-justified.

Text colour can be changed in Review mode, which keeps a record of changes.

Hello, Paul. Thanks a lot! I work on another more detailed tutorial for each module but hasn't a lot of time to it... Hope it will be ready in one day :) But, if you want, you can help us to make it and we'll place it on the site.

I have been looking around for decent screenwriter software that alternative to trelby,celtix and finaldraft. I think i found great software!!! Congrulations for great software.
I want to ask something. Is it possible to edit script drafts that software offers(finaldraft a4,russian screenplay etc)?
I want to write in french style script(left action, right dialogues).
Kindes Regards from Turkey

Hello Ertem,

Thanks for your feedback!

1. You can not edit default templates, but you can add a new one based on one of the standard. Go to the Settings - Templates Library - and press plus for adding a new template.
2. Two columns mode currently is in development. We plan to release it in the next beta.

Issue with printing

I LOVE this software, but I'm struggling to find how I can actually print the script. When I hit "Print preview" or even just Print, I only get the title page with character and locations and such. But not the actual script. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. I'm using the Beta version, so I hope it's not a bug. However...this is an amazing piece of software. Just blown away by how many features this has for the price

dimkanovikov 28.08.2018 at 14:32 # Reply

Hello John,

Thanks a lot for your message! Yes, this is known issue in the app... Currently, print preview tries to show you exported research documents. To change this behavior you need go to the Menu - Export - in the export dialog you need to choose tab named "Script" and press "Print preview" directly in the dialog. After this action you will can to make print preview from menu and script will be shown in print preview window.

I found this app looking for an alternative to Final Draft (which I can't afford) I have been using Trelby, however starting today I'm switching to KitScenarist because it's so much more powerful. I bought the iOS App as well which is very affordable by the way. I live in a poor country so I don't think I can afford monthly subscriptions however I will be donating to the project because the functionalities that this app has are just awesome and you guys have made it available for free. The only feature I could request is for the app to have an Open/import option instead of having to share from another app. (Let's say open from Dropbox or Drive o local files) Thank you for making this program available to everyone.

dimkanovikov 03.09.2018 at 07:33 # Reply

Hello Ronald,

Glad to know that the app can be useful to you! What about your suggestion - many users suggest a similar option, so, we will think about how we can add it in the app and will try to improve this ability.

Spell check

Hi there,
I understand how to turn on the spell checking, but is the only way to change what it finds it by right clicking on all the underlined mistakes? There is no way just to go through the whole document and ignore or correct the highlighted words? Basically something like the find and replace feature. I want to be able to go from one underlined mistake to the other without having to scroll through the entire script.

Ah, now I see what you mean. No, currently, you can't do it. But we plan to add a similar feature in one of the next updates.

Export Problem

Hi there,
I'm having a problem with exporting my script to pdf. It appears to be almost blank (the first page with the title and my name is correct, and also the headline of the first scene, but the action, dialoge, etc of the scene does not appear at all). I'm writting in greek but I also tested it with english and the same thing happens, so it's probably not a language issue. I will be glad to find some help. Thanks!

dimkanovikov 12.02.2019 at 14:21 # Reply

Hello, Kostas. Looks like you try to export "Outline" instead of the "Script". Please recheck what export type you use in the export dialog title tab bar.

Problems with printing script

Hi there.
Before complaining, I would like to say that this is a great app. Really. Very useful, direct, easy to use. So many thanks!

My issue: When I export (or print) the script, it shows only the title page and the head of the scenes, but no action, no dialogue, no parenthesis, nothing else. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

dimkanovikov 04.03.2019 at 17:09 # Reply

Hello, Daniel. Looks like you try to export outline, please check out what tab selected in the export settings dialog (Menu - Export). There are three items "Export Research/Export Outline/Export Script" as I understand you need to select the "Export Script" tab and do export again.

Naomi 11.09.2019 at 05:40 # Reply

Hi there, I'm having the same problem, and the Export Script tab is ticked. I've had this a couple of times. My last script saved fine, but my current one won't even after closing, restarting etc. Any clues?

No speaking character

Hello,

I'd like to know how add a no speaking character.

Thank you

dimkanovikov 15.03.2019 at 10:49 # Reply

Hello Carlo,

Currently, there are two ways to do it:
1. In the action of the scene, you need to write the name of the character, for example for character RICK you can write something similar to "Rick enters the room."
2. The application has a special block named "Scene Characters" where you can add all characters of the scene. This blocks usually used for TV-series, but maybe it will make sense for your case too.

Mishal 16.03.2019 at 12:56 # Reply

Hello, I agree with other contributors, this is an excellent application. Thank you. One question/ request, please. Is it possible to view the script in a larger font? Or, increase the view to something like 120% etc. I have poor vision and the script view (font) on screen is just slightly to small for me to work with comfortably. Thank you.

dimkanovikov 18.03.2019 at 06:05 # Reply

Hello Mishal,

You can scale script (and other editors) by using a standard method for your operating system:
- Windows/Linux - Ctrl and mouse wheel, or Ctrl and +/-
- Mac OS X - pinch gesture on the trackpad, or Command and +/-

Mind Map

Hello! I've been using your software for quite a time now and I love all the possibilities it offers! Plus, you have a research pannel, which is great!
There's only a few things with the Mind Map that have been bugging me, though.
-Is there a way to copy/paste an entire Mind Map? And copy/paste only a box of a Mind Map?
-Is there a way to augment the size of the png saved from a Mind Map? I have a HUGE Mind Map and would like to print it. But when I import the png in Photoshop or Word and I separate the image to enlarge it to be able to print it on many sheets, I lose a considerable amount of quality because the original image is too small.

The Mind Map is a powerful tool for visual writers like me, and I think that it could need a liiiiiittle bit more love! I love KIT Scenarist! Thank you for providing us such a great software!

dimkanovikov 16.04.2019 at 21:22 # Reply

Hello Mary,

Thanks a lot for your kind words and for your questions!
1. Currently, there is no way to copy or paste items in the mind map editor. But it will be a really good improvement for future updates! Thanks for pointing me on it.
2. It's very strange behavior. By default mind map should be saved in "natural" size which should be wellformed for viewing and printing. What operating system do you use? What size of the png image did you get after saving?

Mary 24.04.2019 at 19:49 # Reply

I just checked and the size of the png of the Mind Map is huge (8694 x 5842 pixels). But the moment I zoom in the image (in Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft Word), I loose the quality of the words. It's all pixelised. So even if the image is big, the quality doesn't follow... Maybe it could change something if the user had the possibility to choose the format in which he saves the Mind Map (jpeg, tga, tiff, etc). I don't know. Or a print option directly in the Mind Map tab.
Thank you for your help!

dimkanovikov 01.05.2019 at 17:10 # Reply

Yeah, there is an image-file restriction. Will try to research the ability to save mind map schemes to the vector images for future updates.

Line Break in Dialogue

Is there a shortcut to insert a line break in a dialogue? Shift+Enter starts a new paragraph with the character name.
I came looking for a writing toll with a dark mode and found this to be a great software. Thanks!

dimkanovikov 09.05.2019 at 16:14 # Reply

Hello, Michael. Currently, we don't have this ability (plan to add it in one of the future versions), but you can use a simple workaround - press Enter and then Ctrl+L to make new block formatted as dialogue.

Jano 01.06.2020 at 01:14 # Reply

This workaround, sadly, does not create a space between these paragraphs – maybe this is just a style option?

This software looks extremely good and powerful, but this is the only thing keeping me from using it. Long speaking passages are really hard to read this way, and this is a pity, as they will be read most frequently, as they need to be learned by the actors.

dimkanovikov 01.06.2020 at 06:33 # Reply

If you need a space, then you can add two paragraphs (one empty dialogue and next one with the next paragraph of the dialogue) :)

Dual Dialog and Text Formatting Options

Hi, I've been using KIT SCENARIST for a few weeks now and I am absolutely loving it. A software like this was much needed.

I wanted to know if you have the Dual Dialog feature, or any work around for it.

Also, please transfer the Text Formatting Options (bold, italics, underlined) from the the right click menu to somewhere in the top panel, from where it can be toggled on / off. And also add a 'General' sort of formatting option where text can be formatted (bold, italics, underlined, align, etc)

dimkanovikov 31.05.2019 at 09:15 # Reply

Hello Subhrajyoti Modak,

Thanks a lot for your feedback!
1. We plan to add a dual dialogue feature in one of the new versions.
2. You can use Bold/Italic/Underline via common shortcuts Ctrl+B/Ctrl+I/Ctrl+U (or with Command instead of Ctrl if you on Mac).
3. Thanks for suggestion with General formatting type - it's a great idea!

Hello ! :)
I have already built 15 characters and now I would like to start writing my script.
This is a web series in 8 episodes.
I have to create a folder by episode?

dimkanovikov 31.05.2019 at 09:21 # Reply

Hello, Ludiane. Currently, KIT Scenarist has not an option for storing all episodes in one project file (but we plan to add it in one of the next versions), so you will need to create a single file for each episode. And what about where to start it depends on your writing flow. If you like to start from outline then look at the cards module, but if you need to directly to starting write script go to the script module and start to move your story to the screen! :)

Hello, my friend! You can scale size of the script the next way:

2. By pressing Ctrl and use mouse wheel scrolling on Windows and Linux, or with a pinch gesture on Mac's trackpad.

Salut. Très, très bon logiciel, assez complet. Un peu difficile à prendre en mains, mais une fois que l'on sait comment régler les paramètres, ce logiciel devient indispensable. Un peu lent sur une machine tournant sous Windoxs 7 à 64 bits. Comme quelques uns, j'ai eu des problèmes pour trouver comment imprimer, mais j'ai trouvé l'astuce. Pour la "feuille de style" à partir du modèle Final Draft (avec lequel je travaillais avant) je m'en suis créée une à mon goût, en me basant sur le même script écrit avec LibreOffice5.6. En fait ce logiciel Kit Scenarist sait lire les fichier au format odt, mais il ne sait pas les exporter à ce format. Par contre rien à dire sur l'export au format standard pdf. Seul bémol. Impossible de changer la couleur des polices de caractères. J'ai pas encore trouvé. Ah! J'ai laissé tomber le style "courrier" standard, j'ai trouvé une police formidable "courrier", c'est LATO se déclinant en plusieurs versions. Désormais je n'utilise que cette police qui est beaucoup plus visible que celle de Screenplay. Surtout pour les auteurs ayant des problèmes de vue.

UI scaling in 4K laptop screens

Hi!

Thanks for the awesome work. This app has everything I need from a modern screenwriting software. However, on my laptop which has a 4K screen, the UI is extremely tiny. I tried to fix it using the windows properties and overriding the high dpi scaling but that makes the whole text very blurry. Is there any way to increase the font size of the interface without making it blurry?

Thanks in advance

I just recently found this software and I absolutely love it! I've gone through other types, but this one surpasses them for me. I'm mostly writing teleplays, so I was wondering if there was or will be a way to have to have center titles for "Teaser", "Act 1" etc. to break up the script. Also, are we able to start scenes on a new page? Thanks!

Hi, Queensly! Currently, the application hasn't abilities to break pages at the start of the scene, plan to add it in one of the next versions. What about centering some text - you can create a custom template and set alignment to the center for some kind of formatting which you'll use for titles like you mention.

Hello Susruta,

1. For export in the Courier New font, you can use Standard Russia and CIS template, or create your own (Settings - Templates Library - Plus button to add a new one). In the export dialog you need to toggle Advanced options checkbox and choose a needed template.
2. You can do it in the Settings - Application - turn off the "Use dark theme" checkbox.

I want to start by saying I really like your product and have been enjoying it for multiple months now. There is one thing I hope can be addressed in an update though. Why is the font that is used in the "Script" drafting section, not the same font that the script is exported with? I'm unsure if this is an error on my part and I just need to click a few buttons or if it's something that needs to be addressed in a software patch? Thank you much!

Great software! Thanks. Im writing an Hebrew script. When exporting to docx, I've tried all options, opening in Word, the right justified is off, periods are at the beginning of sentance not end etc. Exporting to PDF is closer although, all the font characteristics are gone. Any solutions?
Thanks

Hello, Eyal. I suggest you check the export template. You can do it in the export dialog advanced settings section.

Is there a script file size limitation ? Or a cache buffer limitation ? I've been working with a 3mb script, on a PC (i7-8750, processor. SSD. 16gb ram). It keep crashing on loadup. I have kept multiple copies (as backup), and strangely enough, they crash out too ! I can use other scripts, much smaller... Create new ones... but once I use that script... It'd crash. It somehow worked again after the first time it happened. But now it's not working again...

I've been trying to reinstall hoping I can clear what cache setting it has... and I notice that on reinstall, it remembers EVERYTHING STILL ! EVEN IF I USE A PORTABLE VERSION...
Could this be the problem ??

Oh... L-O-V-E this ! Once you get the bugs out... it'll be of great service to many writers.

Hello Flummoxed,

It's a very strange issue. The app hasn't any limitations on file size or other limitations. Please, write me to the support@kitscenarist.ru and I'll help you to resolve this issue.

Two Panels mode

Hi. I am using KIT in Linux Mint Mate and I cannot activate the Two Panels mode. The option does not appear in the Application menu. Will it be a problem with the software or resolution of my monitor? Thanks!

Hello, Diego. This option does not work only if the screen size of your computer too small, because in this case, the two-panel mode doesn't make sense. What is the resolution of your monitor?

how to insert location from list into script?

I can't find the way to insert any of the locations that I created in the "Research" tab, into my script?
It's probably something simple, but I can't seem to find it. Is it a shortcut or a specific button?
Thanks in advance!

dimkanovikov 14.11.2019 at 22:45 # Reply

Hello, Pascal. You should use the Scene Heading block for it and fill it by this template: [INT. or EXT.] [LOCATION] - [TIME] when you will fill it the app will automatically show autocomplete for each section. For example, if you start a new Scene heading block and enter "I", the app suggests you enter "INT.", then you type space character and app suggest you a list of locations, when you start typing begin of the location name full list will be filtered by entered characters. And after you finish to enter a location and type " - " the app suggests you known types of the scene time, like DAY, NIGTH and other.

Hello Dimka Novikov,
KIT scenarist is brilliant software that I instantly fell in love with! Thank you for taking the effort and offering it to the writer's community.

When possible, do guide me to any link that addresses the following concerns:
1] A dialog (for example) written in one line edge-to-edge, somehow falls into two lines when exported in DOCX format. It will be great if I can get to know some setting where I can export exactly as it appears on KIT scenarist.
2] Sometimes, during an undo (ctrl+Z) the text garbles and multiplies (sometimes). Though I always restore a backup. But if there is any link to fix undo levels at my end, that would be great.

Just in case my concerns don't seem relevant, pls feel free to ignore as my fondness for KIT Scenarist is unconditional, and will never change.

Thanks in advance Dimka, keep doing well, god bless!

Regards,
Avi Sandhu

Multiple Script Versions

Hello there, this software is amazing. Congratulations and thank you for sharing it with the world. I have a tiny issue: Once I have my script, I want to make some changes, so I'll go to MENU / Begin New Version. Once I do this, I can modify it. I will do this several times because I have several feedback from the producers and director. Let's say that I have 8 versions of the same script under the same project file, and now I want to go back to Script Version number 5 (I normally save the new version as Version 1, 2, 3, etc.) I cannot seem to find a way to re-edit again my version 5 of the script. I can only go to TOOLS / Compare Script Versions between the ones I want but only to view, not actually modify it. The restore option only restores it but that mean that I'll lose my last version. And if I go to RESEARCH / SCRIPT / VERSIONS I can view the versions on the right and clic on the one I want but it doesn't have a script format. It looks like a text note, and can't seem to modify that one either. Is there a way to go back and edit my script version number 5? Maybe I'm missing something. Thank you very much for all your help

dimkanovikov 19.11.2019 at 15:59 # Reply

Hello, Luis. You are absolutely correct. Currently, the app hasn't the ability to edit one of the previous versions. The main point of that is that the writer works internationally from version to version. But in the future, the author can see the contents of the previous version and copy-paste some of it if it will necessary. In your case, you want to have separate versions and update them all in parallel, so I just can recommend creating separate files for each version.

Loving this app

I just got back into writing and am writing a script for an independent feature that we plan on shooting this summer. You software has been brilliant and works exactly the way I have always wanted screenwriting software to. Even if I wind up being able to afford Final Draft at some point, I'll likely wind up continuing to use Kit Scenarist.

MY question is this: In the scene navigator next to the script int he script editor screen all of the scene blocks are consistent but two of them have red icons instead of white. Why is that?

Thank you!

export problems

Hello, I love your software, and the typewriter noises are perfect :D.
The only thing is for the export : if I export directly to pdf, there are small errors like the number of the sequences that are slighlty higher than the sequence headline (and it gets worse as the screenplay goes). Also, the file is 76mb for a screenplay..!
So I tried exporting to DocX and then converting it to PDF, but then again, there are minor problems (like a headline that will be at the end of the page, or double spaces between sequences) that make it really annoying. Any idea where it comes from ?
Thanks again, your software's great!

Hello Hugo,

1. Can you send me to support@kitscenarist.ru screenshot of the number positioning issue?

3. Write character name and then press ENTER
4. App automatically switched to the Dialogue format
5. ENTER after written dialogue will move you back to the Action format.

ADD THE POSSIBILITY TO GO TO A NEW PAGE FOR A NEW ACT

Hi, Dim. I can't praise enough the quality of your software and the generosity of your team.
I have an important suggestion for you: in movie and TV scripts, every act starts on a new page.
I tried to figure out how to do it but I can't. I tried by creating a folder for each act, by adding line spaces until the new act opens up on a new page... but eventually, it always had a new complication.

Is there a way to do it that I missed?

In addition, the shortcut for the parenthetical doesn't work. Can you tell me if I miss something?

Thank you very much.

varied scene numbers /changing project name

First of all, a big thumbs up! You are adding a huge good karma by doing this amazing tool open source. I'm also surprised that how appropriate is the Turkish translation. I have 2 questions:
1) Is it possible to give numbers to the scenes as 3a, 3b,... Sometimes we need to split the scenes under the same scene number but without jumping to the next number.
2) Is there a decent way to change a project name other than "save as" option?

Hello, my friend.

1) Currently, no. I think about such a feature but can't imagine how it can be implemented. What number should be the next scene, what if some scene will be moved around, etc...
2) You can change the project name in the Research tab and then in the Script list item. Or just with renaming needed file in the folder.

tagging characthers situaions

Hi, thank you, I agree, great Karma. I have the Hebrew version and I have a few obstacles:
1. I don't understand how to add the characters' situations (VO, OC, TITLES, CONTINUES...) to the script
2. also i don't know how to define action separately from tagging a character in the scene. when i tag a character in the scene the script automatically tags the whole line as the character in the scene and if i tag it as an action it tags the whole line as an action unless i break it to 2 lines where there character`s name on one line and action on the other,

Hello Naama,

Hello Mark, currently, this feature is not available. In video showed the very first version of the cards module, which was based on another Open Source project and included in the program. The version of the cards turned out to be very slow and with a lot of bugs and we decided to rewrite the cards module from scratch. Now the possibility of free positioning of cards and the display of arrow-links between them is not available. But it is planned for implementation in future versions of the program.

Scene Dictionaries

Hi, Dimka!

First of all, thank you and your team for this great software! I've just installed it, spent 1 hour on it and I'm already confident with it! It's great!

I saw the option to add more scene dictionaries like scene introduction/time etc., I quickly added them in my native language, everything's fine but when I make a new project the ones that I've added are gone.
Am I missing some sync option or I have to add them manually on every new project? Not that it's a big deal, it's fast but just asking.

Thank you again for this awesome software, now I'm inspired to write! Good luck with everything!

Thank you for this great software!

Hi Dimka,
A couple of days ago i finished writing my first screenplay ever on KIT, and i couldn't be more excited!
It's really great and simple, and has made the process of writing so much fun for me!
I have experienced some bugs i would like to tell you about:
1. The cards module is a bit unstable. for example, when i was trying to delete a card and it deleted a lot of cards. Another example is that at some point, some cards got randomly deleted and it was a bummer. I think what fixed it was just organizing everything via the script section interface, and rebooting the application helped as well.
2. it appears that sometimes when you use the CTRL + Z undo function it deletes stuff from the script. Might be connected with the cards bug i mentioned, not sure though...
3. The BOLD function in the script - sometimes the program will "unbold" certain sections or words for no apparent reason.
4. When i exported to docx some words came out colored in white for some reason.
5. When i changed font size on the template interface, some of the words remained the same size, and the some of the bold and underlined words turned regular. I use the Hebrew template if it's any difference.
By the way, is there an estimate about how much the new pro version 2.0 will cost at most?
Thank you very much for your hard work!
You help people make their dreams come alive on the white sheet of paper :)

3-4. Do you have an example of the script where we can reproduce this behavior? If yes, please send it to me to the support@kitscenarist.ru and I will check it.
5. This bug also already fixed and will be published with the next update.

Enabling 'always Bold' for Scene Headings and Characters

Hi! Great software.
I know that, to enable Bold or Italic I can select the text and press Ctrl+B or Ctrl+I (Windows). But is there any option to keep the Scene Headings and/or Character Headings always Bold by default?

dimkanovikov 01.06.2020 at 06:26 # Reply

Hello NoMan, yes, you can create a new screenplay template in the Settings - Templates library and setup base formatting for the Scene headings and Character text blocks. Then you can use newly created template for the script editor (settings - script editor - editing - template) and for export (menu - export - export script - advanced options - template).

How to add tamil to Kit? i see other indian languages but not tamil

10.07.2021 at 22:49 # Reply

How to add any language to the KIT

What do you mean?

In the KIT is the ability to write in any language that is supported by the operating system. If your operating system support typing in your language - you can type in the KIT too.

If you mean spellchecking in your language - yes, we have such plans to add it in one of the next releases.

And if you want to have an interface translation - we haven't any translators on our team. If you want - you can translate on your own. That is easy technically. You can read about the process here https://bit.ly/3hw1Zen

If you are ready - message us.

Underscore

Hello have a nice day, you have wonderful program congratulations for that; I would like to ask you if it is possible to underscore letters?

Thank you

dimkanovikov 01.06.2020 at 06:27 # Reply

Hello Juan, you can use shortcut Ctrl+U (Command+U if you on Mac) to make text underscored.

Phyllis 04.05.2021 at 23:05 # Reply

You can't use the Mac shortcut CTRL+U

Scenarist uses CTRL+U as the shortcut to create a character block, so it doesn't work for underscoring. Is there another way to underscore?

05.05.2021 at 01:42 # Reply

You can't use the Mac shortcut CTRL+U

You can choose one of that ways:
1) Open Settings —> Script editor —> Shortcuts —> Find the Character line —> Double click on Shortcut —> Replace Ctrl+U with another Shortcut —> Ctrl+U works by design for underscoring
2) Open Script Editor —> Select the text you want to underline by click —> Right-Click —> Tap on Underlined U —> Your text is underscored

Please help

Hi, first THANK YOU so much for this software, I am about to be on my first script contest and using yours was incredibly useful.

Nevertheless, there is one thing I haven´t been able to do.

I need my script to have: A cover page, then a "one-pager" (synopsis) and then the script.

When I choose the option of "Print Script preview" It appears: the cover page and the script. BUT the one-pager (synopsis) does not appear.

This is really important because it is a requirement for the contest.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

dimkanovikov 01.06.2020 at 06:30 # Reply

Hello Mariana,

Currently, application does not support the option you want, but I can suggest you two ways o how you can do it with the app:
1. You can add synopsis page directly into the script
2. You can export screenplay, say in MS Word format and then add your synopsis manually from the MS Word or OpenOffice.

I am a novice script writer and have joined one institute. I already had (paid) a Final Draft 11 in my laptop. I have written 120 pages in the FINAL Draft. However, my lecturer advised me to download the KIT Scenarist. I have downloaded the latest version. To my surprise, the KIT Scenarist software is very easy and user-friendly. I am happy with the features of Scenarist. I hope, it will be at par in terms of features with the FINAL DRAFT in future.

Page view option

Hi, I have recently come across KIT Scenarist and this application makes so much sense compared to all the other expensive commercial software. It has almost all the options that writers need to write a whole screenplay.

My question to you is, when I create a text document using ADD TEXT under DOCUMENTS option, is there an option for PAGE VIEW of that document? It will be much easier to work in page view like we do in Microsoft word. Right now the text document stretches wide till the edge of the screen.

Thanks again

Hello Caleb, with it you can write out all of the scene characters and then the app can produce more reliable reports since some of the characters can not have any dialogues in the scene but should present in it.

Mr

Hi,
I just discover your software and it's very promising. I'm running on Ubuntu Studio and I've been using Trelby, Celtx (the desktop version), and sometimes Fade In (the demo version) for screenwriting up until now. I think you have a great software with a neat and user friendly interface and great features. I particularly like the idea of having multiple versions of a script. One request though, or two. First, in "Characters Speaking Parts" report, can you keep the format of the dialogue (as it is in the script)? It helps the reading once the report is printed and handed to an actor because he can see where each dialogue starts and end. With a monolithic text block, it's kinda difficult to visualize that. The second request is: can we also have a sort of "Scene Speaking Parts" report that shows all the dialogues in a given scene? Again with the format of the dialogue kept to help with the reading. Celtx for example has those features. I wonder if is possible to have these features into KIT Scenarist too if it's not too much to ask.

Thank you again for your amazing work.

Compare Script Versions

Hi. First, thank you for this great software. I spent a lot of time trying to find THE scriptwriting application. Scenarist is full of great tools and also a sober but elegant look. I write in French and the language option to get the interface in a different language is great too.
My questions are:
1) How to use the Compare Script Versions. Can we keep different versions inside the same project? How to create a second version from the first draft?
2) Are you planning to add a storyboard function with some kind of timeline to simulate the film?
Thank you

dimkanovikov 13.07.2020 at 07:39 # Reply

Hello, my friend! Thanks for your kind words!

1. To use compare versions tool you need to create some versions by using "Start new version" Menu item, or via Research - Screenplay - Versions - Add new. After that, you can compare the previous version with current, or previous versions. This allows you to keep different versions in the same project, but it does not allow you to edit old versions, the app saves them just as artifacts.
2. We didn't plan it earlier, but the idea sounds good, I will think about it! Thanks!

Mac Read only

Please, don`t work directly with files in the folder KITScenarist/backups.
That is guessed for one of the last steps of file recovering, but not for everyday routine work. We have forbidden direct work with files in that folder for that reason. It is a chance to recovery projects in emergency cases and we made a solid guarantee of that.

Save your file(s) to any other folder except KITScenarist/backups to solve your issue.

3) Move or delete the local file from his current path and on the next app restart it will go away from the file list of the KIT

The Versions - how go back and edit?

Hi!

The versions are snapshots. Do you create the number 2? Number 1 is frozen forever. You can just create number 3, open number 1, copy all the text from number 1, delete all the text from the script editor and paste text from version number 1. That will be your returned number 1 and now you can edit it.

Manual for beginners and preview

just heard about this app, and really want to know how to use it to its best advantage. Do you have a BASIC "HOW TO GET STARTED" instruction, that will allow me to feel more comfortable using this? The only online screenwriter I've used so far, is (was!) Amazon Scripwriter...which they have discontinued a while ago. What I want help with is this: I'd prefer to start typing on the screen - and see what I ,have, instead of importing a Word document draft. As then, I'd be able to see from the screen. whether my text has gone onto another page, and just start cutting out unnecessary dialogue from the screen, instead of importing text - and wasting time deleting it. I'm sure your manual explained it well, but I get stage fright whenever I have to do anything I'm not accustomed to. Thanks!

Joining Characters

Hi! I'm using Scenarist for the first time and it does looks fantastic!
while writing a script, I tend to name some characters by their function before we get to know them properly, then when I give them the real name, the software gives me two characters instead of one.

Buenos días. ¿Cómo puedo recuperar desde un backup?

07.07.2021 at 15:24 # Reply

Problems opening a file, saved the day before normally.

For the script restoring please do the next:

1. Tools —> Restore Script From Backup —> Select the actual snapshot for recovery —> Press Flag “Restore Script”.
2. You can repeat it until you will find the most full version of your script.

Does that don't help?

Then try the second solution, restore from backup folder:
1. To find the backups path see Settings —> Application —> Save Backups.
2. Copy-Paste that path from the KIT setting for Windows into the Explorer, for Mac - into the Finder
3. Every project you need has the name Your_Project_Name.full.backup.kitsp
4. Open the project you need and save it in the usual path (or cloud), change the name to a more useful
5. If that is needed - do all points for the internal Restore tool

Please, don't work directly with files in the backups folder. It is created for the one of last steps to restore files. Not for everyday work.

If both solutions haven't helped, please, contact us by the feedback form or e-mail support@kitscenarist.ru

Page display size

I love this software. I am using it with my middle school students to teach them screenplay format. I am having an issue though that I have seen as a common topic on this page. We are using Mac computers with 1080 screens. The size of the page display while they are typing is so small that it is difficult to read (it is on my 4k machine as well).

If you do not find the closed navigation bar on the left - check the right edge of the script editor window. It may be there too.

How to uninstall the app (remove all the files)?

Can you tell me how to uninstall the app (remove all the files). I'd like to do a clean reinstall.

Hello!

Can you please clarify your operating system and apps version (full, or portable/AppImage)?

Because, if you have a portable or AppImage version, you can delete the folder with the app or AppImage file.

I want to congratulate the Kit Scenarist team for the excellent job they have done, and do, with this excellent scripting program. Besides being very well conceived, it has the plus of being completely free (at least for the moment). Kit Scenarist, while a bit difficult to find, is a great support to creators who do not have many resources. Thank you very much for your work and keep it up !!!

Startup Issue

Hi, I've managed to remove and install the app (deb) via software center, but I get the same issue, I click on the icon and nothing happens, the app doesn't start. Can you please tell me the issue or release a fix? I really love this program and I don't want to change to another kind of screenwriting software again.

Hello!

We sent you an email with a couple of questions about the issue. Recently, we created a reserve mailbox in case of trouble with sending.

For Linux users we recommend downloading an AppImage version - it's simple in using and has no difference with deb package except it's portable.
If you have doubts, you can read a version comparison here https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=287869

Hello!

To convert a script into PDF, you can use an export function:
Menu —> Export —> Export Script

Don't forget to check Additional settings so your script looks like in the app:
Menu —> Export —> Export Script —> Additional (Numbering, Title Page etc.)
