Start Your Screenplay Your Way: Script, Outline, or Idea FinalBit 3.16.0
🎬 What's New in FinalBit
Start any project — your way
Every story starts differently. So we rebuilt "Start new project" around how you actually work. Now, when you create a project, you choose how FinalBit sets up your workspace:
📄 Upload a Full script
Already have a draft? Import a PDF, Final Draft, Fountain, or DOCX and pick up from a fully editable script in seconds — no reformatting, no copy-paste.
✨ Start from any source material
Got a pitch deck, outline, or treatment — or just an idea in your head? Attach it (or simply describe it), and FinalBit reads your material, identifies the story, and builds a structured outline for you. Review it act-by-act, regenerate anything you don't love, and turn it into a full multi-act script (up to ~36 scenes) — ready to break down, schedule, and storyboard.
✍️ Start from a blank editor
Prefer to write the traditional way? Jump straight into our industry-standard screenplay editor and start from page one — the classic experience, exactly where you left it.
You're always in control: FinalBit shows you the outline before it creates anything, so nothing happens until you say "Looks good."
