pre-production software used by Indie film makers to create Film and TV content.
Celtx is a unique and innovative application that for the
first time enables people engaged in the pre-production of a film and
TV project to work in a digital environment – write scripts,
perform breakdowns and collaborate with others. Built on top of the
award winning Firefox technologies, Celtx is an open source and open
standards software application that has rapidly established an
international following, with thousands of dedicated users located in
over 50 countries around the globe.
“It’s incredible how little attention has been paid to the
pre-production end of the film and TV creation business.”
co-founder Mark Kennedy stated. “Lots of time and effort and money have
been spent introducing digital technologies to the production and
post-production ends of the business – digital cameras, digital film,
digital video and sound editing, CGI software – but there was
nothing to help those working in pre-production. Celtx changes that
equation.”
Celtx provides a full set of features for writing and editing
scripts, tools for performing media rich breakdowns (Internet
intelligent, Celtx includes the ability to add digital pictures, video
