Celtx is more than an exciting platform; perfect for all users who are dedicated to the cinema or want to make their productions since it will allow you to organize all the tasks before the shooting in a straightforward way. It doesn't matter if you're going to carry out a short film, an animated film, or a feature film; you can be sure that this utility will allow you not to miss any important detail.

But before going into details, why is this program called this way? The explanation is as follows: Celtx about Crew, Equipment, Location, Talent, and XML. That is, this program considers some essential aspects for its existence, which have to do with the human team, technological equipment, location, talent, and computer language, in this case, represented by the acronym XML.

The first thing that calls the attention of this program is its interface, which is very simple since once we install it on our computer, we can find an initial screen that shows the main functions it offers us. Thus, what you have to do before starting is select the type of production you are going to perform since, based on this decision, the available options will be modified later on.

Once you have selected the type of work you want to carry out, you will have the option of adding a storyline, on which all the critical points that must be taken into account during the shooting will be added. The exciting thing is that it is not only about adding text, but you can also add, when the time comes, audio files, images, and even video clips, so that no information is missing.

Once the most critical aspects to be taken into account have been detailed, it is time to write the script of your work thanks to Celtx, and you will see that we have an editor available for this purpose, which will allow you to make all the changes you want. This editor is perfectly compatible with fundamental text changes, such as autocomplete, to save time, or the spell checker, so everything is impeccable.

Remember, however, that, as we said before, you can always add other elements to each of the points you have marked in the script, such as images, videos, or music, as long as they provide information. Thus, it will be much easier for you to take a scene from a well-known movie or copy one or another detail without having to be looking for the material at the same time filming.

Even when you have finished or, if you prefer, during the modifications you are making on the original file, you can share all your Celtx scripts with the people you want, thanks to the collaboration section of this program. Thus, it is not necessary to hold meetings all the time with those carrying out the project since everyone will be able to observe the changes live.

Another of its utilities that we found interesting is the integrated calendar, thanks to which we can add the important dates we have ahead, not only those that have to do with shooting and recording, but also those in which meetings have been agreed between the members of the team, with the financiers of the project, and so on. Believe us that the calendar will be one of the tools of this platform you will use the most.

In one of its most recent updates, Celtx has added a section that has caught our attention, the one that has to do with the possibility of writing a script about a theatrical piece, a perfect opportunity for those who like this genre. If you want to develop your script for television, you can also do it, so here it is just a matter of your imagination; you will always find a suitable storyline.

And for any production you have decided to do, you have to know that you can generate customized reports of each of the recording days, both in the previous days and as conclusions, to know in detail what resources are required during this type of situation, as well as who are the actors present, the necessary logistics, etc.

As you can see, this application has several functions that we could consider extremely interesting, such as allowing us to share the live files for everyone to see or adding multimedia elements to the text annotations we have made to complete our script. In general terms, we can close by saying that Celtx is an application you must have installed on your computer if you intend to write a script for film, comics, radio, or television. Never before has it been so easy to establish a storyline of what we are looking for, and thanks to this platform, you have the chance to become your boss for the next shooting.
