Scenes and the script
Write scenes as a screenplay, one at a time or as the whole story.
A scene is a script and the canvas where you storyboard it. A sequence plays its scenes in order.
Write a scene
Open a scene. Its script is the Script node on the canvas. Write it as a screenplay: headings, action, characters and dialogue. Right-click the Script node and choose Write in focus for a larger page.
The Script view
Script shows the whole story as one screenplay, scene after scene.

INT. KITCHENand press Enter to start a new scene.
Paste a script
To start from a script you already have, paste it into the story agent. It turns the script into sequences and scenes and copies your text as it is.
Editing together
When you start editing a scene, others see that you are in it, and its fields are read-only for them until you stop. If you close your laptop, they are freed after about 45 seconds.
