A month after Script Studio launched, we shipped a major rework — Script Studio v2.
This isn’t just new features. It’s the entire screenwriting workflow, redesigned.
Why v2
After v1, screenwriters told us:
- The hierarchy stops at Episode → Scene — missing storyline tracking
- No way to export a whole season at once to a co-writer
- Scene cards get cramped when you need to edit many fields
- No dedicated “Deliver” flow
v2 rewrites the entire navigation.
Four-tab navigation: Plan / Scenes / Write / Deliver
Script Studio v2 splits the screenwriting workflow into four clear stages:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Plan | Storylines, structure, characters, world settings |
| Scenes | Scene cards, scene table, drag-to-reorder |
| Write | Drop into the actual scene-level writing |
| Deliver | Export, review, hand off |
Each tab has its own optimized UI, no more mixing.
Storyline tier — story tracking
New: Storyline management:
- Main / sub / character arcs tracked in parallel
- Each storyline shows which episodes / scenes it appears in
- Drag-to-reorder, inline edit, instant search
- Visual storyline timeline — see exactly which arc climaxes in which episode
Especially valuable for long shows (10+ episodes).
Deliver tab — multi-format export
The most-requested feature — one-click export of a whole series / season / episode:
- 📄 Taiwan industry-standard format
- 🎬 Hollywood standard format
- 📝 Fountain (plain-text, markdown-like, collaboration-friendly)
- 📑 PDF (with watermark, page-number strategy, single-PDF for whole season)
- 📘 Word
.docx(preserves structure when edited downstream) - 👥 Character Bible — exportable separately as PDF / Word / Markdown
Each format previews in real time — no need to download to check.
Trash View — hierarchical recycle bin
Deleting a series doesn’t disappear it. It enters Trash:
- Cascade behavior — delete a series, its seasons / episodes / scenes all enter Trash
- Promote — restore a single episode by skipping its parent series
- Bulk permanent delete — checkbox + clear-all for when you’re sure
A lifesaver for the screenwriter who slipped on the trackpad.
Save Protection — no more lost drafts
This change has no UI of its own, but it’s the most important one for writers: the entire auto-save system was rewritten.
Previous versions had rare edge cases that could lose drafts:
- Closing a tab while a save was still pending
- PWA auto-update triggering before edits flushed
- Refreshing the page with local pending changes
The new useDebouncedSave system covers all three paths — every exit action force-flushes.
Nothing is more terrifying for a long-form writer than losing a draft. This rewrite eliminates that risk.
Hybrid Insight Dashboard
While we were at it — the Insight dashboard added a hybrid view:
- Hero (Soul Map) + Overview side by side
- Heatmap + Rhythm KPI sidebar
- 4 minimal SVG charts
The whole dashboard is denser and more scannable.
