Story will play the starting role in the pre-production phase of a planning-to-playback workflow. For example, script information will be transformed into relevant metadata that will automate the creation of shooting scripts, shot lists, and more. So in addition to being a modern screenplay tool, Story’s future integration with Adobe’s production toolset will help creative professionals deliver more engaging experiences, while also enabling huge efficiencies in pre-production, production, and post-production.

Story, you can:

• Craft your tale anywhere and at anytime in a secure online and offline writing environment tailored to industry requirements.
• Easily manage several script projects, develop character biographies, add links as reference points, and fashion synopses.
• Brainstorm script ideas or co-write and edit as a team. Assign roles that give production team members the ability to read, review, or modify the script.
• Import the sample script or your existing screenplay from other scriptwriting software, including Final Draft or MS Word. Take your script to the next stage by exporting to a variety of different formats such as PDF, XML, Text, MS Word, Movie Magic scheduler, or CSV for easy import into Excel.

The client-server application gives independent filmmakers and media creators an integrated and non-linear approach to the pre-production work phase, providing support for industry standard scriptwriting, story development, storyboarding, script breakdowns, production scheduling and reports. It also allows writers to attach images, videos, and audio files to a project, and provides features for collaborating with others online.
