Overview

About Arc Studio

Arc Studio is professional screenwriting software for film and TV writers. It puts story planning and script writing in one calm, distraction-free app. You build your outline on a visual whiteboard, then write the script next to it. The app formats every line to the industry standard as you type. Teams can also write together in real time. A free plan lets you start with no card. Check the official site, arcstudiopro.com, for current plan details before you sign up.

Key Features

1. Distraction-free script editor

The editor keeps your page clean while you write. It formats scene headings, dialogue, and action to the industry standard on its own.

2. Visual outlining whiteboard

You grow an idea into an outline with drag-and-drop story beat cards. Color-coded tags track your characters, storylines, and locations as the story takes shape.

3. Real-time co-writing

Partners and writers' rooms can write in the same script at once. Comments, feedback, and a script chat keep notes inside the work.

4. Draft history and sync

Every draft is saved with a full history. Your scripts sync across devices with auto backups, so you can write anywhere without losing work.

5. Final Draft import and export

Arc Studio imports and exports Final Draft files. It also exports clean PDFs, so you can share scripts with people who use other tools.
