Celtx – Pre-production Software

The cool thing is that with a little bit of creativity you can actually use this software as your project management throughout the entire production from pre-production through production to post-production with it’s ability to store files in an organized system. Complete with forms for everything from characters to scenes and sets it has the ability to store the storyline, storyboard, text, pictures and play them back in a logic way. This creative software is even capable of printing your storyboard in standard storyboard formats for sketch tweaking and presentation.

My over all review of the software is that it is truly a brilliant piece. Although some of the navigation and over all software presentation seem to be borrowed from other applications and there is a little incoherency among window types I do like the tab browsing and the easy project hierarchy. With the ability to logically store files in a project directory it makes it the ideal choice for any project. The fact that it’s free and commercial licensed makes it even better!
