SCHEDULING ENHANCEMENTS
We have made substantial changes to the “just in time” Scheduling module. You can now generate standard Scheduling Reports that will include all the information added during the Breakdown process, like Characters, Actors, Locations and Props.

Start & End Shoot Date - Select your Start and End Dates for your shoot to create a professional Schedule for your media production.

Calendar View - You can review and print your Schedule in either a week or month calendar view.

Shoot Days - A Report can be generated for each Shoot day, detailing all the production requirements added during the breakdown process.

Call Sheet - Generate an industry standard Call Sheet for each day of your Production.

Scene Summary - Replacing the awkward strip board, the Scene Summary Report will tell you what Scenes have been Scheduled, Unscheduled or Completed.

CATALOGS
Catalogs are a database view of all the information in your Project. The Catalogs will automatically track and organize all of your Production information. Mark-ups conducted through the Sidebar will get added to the Catalog.

There are three types of Catalogs:
Master Catalog - The Master Catalog is automatically included in each Project. It will contain all the Production information from every department. The Production Forms can be edited, sorted and searched.

Sub-Catalogs - You can also add Production Department specific Catalogs, like for Props or Set Design or Wardrobe. These Sub-Catalogs will automatically track any Production item tagged as belonging to that Department.

Manual Catalogs - You can also add a Manual Catalog to your Project. You can then add any Production Item to the Manual Catalog by dragging the Production Item from the Master Cat or Sub-Cat to the Manual Cat.

CREW FORM
Crew Forms can be used to keep track of people working on the Project. The Forms can be tagged to a Scene so that the Crew information is added to the Scheduling Module helping you to keep track of what and who is needed on a particular shooting day.

SIDEBARS
We re-invented the Sidebar, adding three tabs, one each for Notes, Media and Production Items:

Notes - These should prove handy for the writers, allowing for a much easier process of adding and reviewing Notes. The Notes in the Sidebar will not auto-sync to whatever Scene the cursor is placed in.

Media - Any Media can be added to your Script – pictures, video or sounds files – using the new Sidebar. Similar to Notes, the Media displaying in the Sidebar will automatically sync to whatever Scene the Cursor is place in.

Production Items - We simplified the process of breaking down a script by streamlining the Sidebar. Breaking down your script will go much faster, Production Item Tab in the Sidebar allowing for rapid categorization and tagging. Production Items added in the Sidebar will get automatically added to the Master Catalog (any corresponding Sub-Catalog)

STORYBOARD ENHANCEMENTS
There are a slew of new features and improvements made to the Storyboard Module. Generally, we have tried to better integrate the Storyboard with a Script and provide better navigation and support for Media.

Thumbnails of Images - Celtx now auto generates thumbnails of any image added to the Storyboard, providing a much better look for reviewing and printing.

Standard Scrollbar - We got this figured out at last, adding a standard scrollbar to the Storyboard.

Aspect Ratio - The Aspect Ratio of any added image is now maintained in the Storyboard.

Keyboard Shortcuts - The Storyboard now supports normal cursor behaviour, with the arrow keys, space bar, etc. all behaving normally.

Shot Type - Every image added to the Storyboard can be given a shot tag (eg. Close Up, Wide, etc.)

Column Layouts - You can view and print your Storyboard in a 1, 2 or 3 column format.

Script to Storyboard - The Add Item feature now allows you to select a specific script when adding a Storyboard. The Storyboard will be integrated with that selected script, the Scenes in the Script and Sequences in the Storyboard syncing with each other.

ADAPT TO OPTION
Simple to use, this powerful new feature will allow you to adapt any script in to any other kind of Celtx supported script format. Turn a Screenplay in to a Stageplay, or a Stageplay in to a Comic or an AV project in to a Radioplay all in one click.

Context click a script in the Project Library to access the Adapt To feature and select what kind of Script you want to turn it in to.

SCENE NAVIGATOR TOGGLE - Use Index Card Titles / Scene Headings
Alternative Scene Headings in the Index Cards can now be viewed in the Scene Navigator. This will allow you to more easily identify and tell the difference between two scenes whose slug line is identical.

COMIC BOOK TEMPLATE
The new Comic Template provides support for all the standard comic elements: Page, Panel, Caption, Bubble Type, and Bubble

Use the Typeset feature to generate a Panel List Report.

iPHONE INTERFACE
We added a new iPhone optimized interface for accessing your Projects on the Celtx Server. Named ‘My Celtx’ you can use this new iPhone interface to review your scripts remotely.

We will be adding additional features to this iPhone interface over the coming months.

CHANGES TO HTML FORMS
We made a number of changes to the Production Items and Story Development Forms.

A new Crew Form was added to help keep track of the who when producing your Project

Regular users will also notice that many of the Forms now auto-populate to include a list of the scenes that a person, Character or Production item is used in.

Character Forms can now be tagged with a specific Actor Form. This will help you organize your Production and the new Scheduling Features will keep track of what Actors are needed on what days based on the role they are playing.

HOUSE KEEPING
Two items worth mentioning here:

One is that we have made many bug fixes to 1.0, the two most important of which are both related to the Save issue some people were experiencing. The second relates to the Celtx interface.

As to the Save issue, third party sweep and clean applications will no longer interfere with the Celtx save process. We have also solved what is known as the ‘double opening’ problem by getting Celtx to ignore any second attempt to open a Project that is already opened.

As to the Celtx interface, we’ve made a few changes, mostly subtle. If you’re looking for the Scratchpad feature, it is now accessed through a sub-Tab at the bottom of the editor.

And that’s it!

We really hope you like this milestone release. A HUGE THANKS to everyone for all the support over the years, the feedback, the bug testing, the many kind words and compliments. We quite obviously could not have done it with out you.

Warm Regards,

The Celtx Team
