Frequently asked questions

Is the script generator free?

Yes. The scene breakdown and the first 3 scenes preview are completely free with no account required. Writing the full screenplay scene-by-scene uses credits from a free plotwell account.

What can I use as input?

Anything — a logline, a paragraph synopsis, a full treatment, or a structured outline. The AI reads your idea and builds a scene breakdown appropriate to the format (Feature Film, TV Pilot, Short Film, etc.).

What does the AI actually generate for free?

The free preview generates a full scene breakdown (heading + summary for every scene) and writes the first 3 scenes in proper Fountain screenplay format — character cues, action lines, dialogue, transitions.

Can I import an existing script instead?

Yes. Switch to "Format existing" mode and paste or import a .fountain, .fdx (Final Draft), .txt, or .docx file to see it rendered with professional screenplay formatting instantly.

How do I continue writing the full script?

Click "Continue in plotwell". Your treatment and Scene 1 are imported automatically. You can write every remaining scene with plotwell's professional editor, AI scene generation, and collaboration tools.
