Importing to Story

Jun 14, 2012 3:33 PM

I've just started using Adobe Story - and so far I really like it (just not the pricing plan for the + version).

 

Can anyone suggest the best format for importing screenplays from other programmes with the correct formatting? So far I've only tried as a .pdf but it was all over the place and would take quite a while to manually go through and correct. Is there a better option? (I don't have Final Draft so I can't try that). I'm using the free version.

 

I have noticed what appears to be a bug - although may be to do with my browser/PC in general (which does sometimes have problems with flash). When I try and work in full screen mode I can't actually type in the script window...so not much use. Has anyone else had this problem?

 

Also - can anyone tell me whether you can get Story Plus in Adobe's Creative Suite? I gather from the website that you can't, but I've seen people saying otherwise so just thought I'd check.

 

Thanks.

    I think importing a text script (.txt) will give you the most expected result.

    In full screen mode you can not type its a security restriction of flash on browsers. Except "Esc" no other key input is taken.

     

    Thanks

    Just in case anyone else was wondering this - after struggling to correct an imported .txt file (most of the 'character' text was formatted as 'scene heading'), I tried it as .rtf. This seems to have worked perfectly. The project is exported from Scrivener, by the way.

     

    Thanks.
