Scene breakdown
Each scene is listed with its slugline, a one-line summary, cast, props, SFX, VFX, wardrobe notes, and insurance flags such as stunts, weapons, minors, or animals.
Features
Screenwriting software for coverage, breakdowns, and shot lists.
Scripy is a web app for writing a screenplay and turning it into pre-production documents. You write in a Fountain editor, then run AI script coverage or a production script breakdown — including a shot list — from the same account.
Screenwriting software
A Fountain screenplay editor
The editor formats a screenplay as you write: scene headings, action, character cues, parentheticals, dialogue, and transitions, in Courier with screenplay margins. Character names autocomplete, scene headings offer a time-of-day menu, and the page shows scene numbers, a scene navigator, and page, word, and scene counts.
Scripts autosave. Draft history keeps up to 30 recent versions in your browser so you can restore an earlier draft or insert lines from it. You can export .fountain or .txt, or print to PDF. You can also import a .fountain, .txt, .pdf, or .docx file into the editor.
The editor is included on the Free plan. AI analyses are counted separately — see pricing.
AI script coverage
Script coverage with an eight-dimension score
Script coverage reads the screenplay and returns a report scored out of 10. The verdict is Pass, Consider, or Recommend, with a short rationale, named strengths, and a closing note. The report also includes a logline, genre and structural archetype, a nine-beat sheet with page numbers, character notes, a pacing view, subtext examples, story architecture, a genre checklist, market notes, a rewrite queue, and reader's notes.
Free accounts can run two AI analyses in total, and either one can be script coverage. Indie includes 10 analyses a month. Pro does not cap analyses.
What the eight scores cover
Concept
Premise, hook, and how clearly the idea is executed.
Structure
Act breaks, midpoint, and whether the story escalates.
Character
Want versus need, arc, and how distinct the cast is.
Dialogue
Voice, subtext, and how exposition is delivered.
Visual storytelling
Whether the script shows the story instead of explaining it.
Pacing
Scene length, momentum, and page economy.
Originality
What is specific to this script versus a familiar template.
Tone consistency
Whether genre and emotional register hold from start to finish.
Script breakdown
A production script breakdown
A production breakdown reads the screenplay and extracts what a shoot has to account for. You can upload a .pdf, .fountain, Final Draft .fdx, or .txt file. PDF text is extracted in the browser, with a server parse and OCR available when the text quality is low.
Shot lists
A separate pass builds a shot list from the breakdown: up to three shots per scene, with shot type, camera movement, a short description, cast, and a lighting note. Print status starts off so you can mark the shots you actually want.
Schedule groups
Scenes are grouped into suggested shoot days by location and cast, with estimated eighths and a budget flag of Standard, Watch, High, or Extreme.
Continuity flags
The breakdown flags wardrobe conflicts, prop continuity, character availability, timeline ambiguity, and location continuity, each marked Critical, Warning, or Note.
Budget risk
An overview totals scenes, estimated minutes, night and exterior counts, unique locations and characters, and scenes that need stunts, VFX, minors, or animals.
Shot list edits — print toggles and shot-type changes — save on the analysis. Anyone with a share link can open the breakdown, shots, schedule, scenes, characters, locations, continuity, and budget view without a Scripy account. A QR code on the share control points at that same link.
Export
Take the breakdown out of the browser
Every plan can export the screenplay as Fountain or plain text, or print it to PDF. Pro adds an XLSX workbook of the breakdown with ten sheets: overview, scene breakdown, schedule, continuity, budget risk, character day-out-of-days, props master, wardrobe, locations, and production summary.
