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:
-
Evaluating the script writing software for a work-related project, and
-
Exploring the effectiveness of ‘free’ web-based instruction (WBI) from user-generated content typically found on video web sharing web sites such as YouTube.
