Background

About Celtx

  • Celtx is an end-to-end ‘solution’ for media production and collaboration.

  • Its key selling feature, like any other script software, is that it formats your scripts so you do not have to think about anything but writing.

  • It is open source, free* (except for the collaboration and storage options) and it runs on Mac, Windows and Linux platforms. (It also installs brilliantly.)

Rationale for Selected Software

I was interested in learning about the Celtx script writing tool for two primary reasons:

  1. Evaluating the script writing software for a work-related project, and

  2. Exploring the effectiveness of ‘free’ web-based instruction (WBI) from user-generated content typically found on video web sharing web sites such as YouTube.
