From the logline to the final act
Treatment, acts and characters from the first screen, with a plot grid to watch the arcs cross scene by scene. And Fountain in and out, so your screenplay never gets locked in here.
Screen structure, not novel structure
The tools placed where someone writing for the screen actually needs them.
The arcs, on a grid
The plot grid crosses characters with scenes so you can see who appears where and which thread moves at each point in the script.
Fountain, in and out
Import and export Fountain, the plain-text standard for screenwriting. Your work stays yours and opens in any other tool in the trade.
Characters that highlight themselves
Define a character once and the editor marks them in every scene they appear in, with their sheet and relationships one click away.
Comics too
A graphic novel template alongside the screenplay one, with story arc, script by pages and panels, dialogue and captions, and a visual section for character design and art direction.
How a screenplay starts
The screenplay template, exactly as the app creates it.
Treatment
Logline, synopsis and themes: what holds the story up before a single scene is written.
Acts
Act one, act two split into halves, and act three, each with its own folder.
Characters
Profiles with attributes, psychology and cross-relationships.
Questions from screenwriters
Does it produce production formatting?
It works in Fountain, the plain-text standard for screenplays, which Final Draft, Highland, Slugline and the rest all read. What Tintero doesn't do is exact production pagination: for that, export to Fountain and finish it in your layout tool.
Can I bring in a screenplay I've started?
Yes. It imports Fountain, and also complete Scrivener and Bibisco projects, keeping structure and character data.
Does it work for comics or graphic novels?
Yes, there's a dedicated template with story arc, script by pages and panels, dialogue and captions, and a visual section for character design, locations and art direction.
