Script Breakdown Software
Breakdowns for modern productions
StudioBinder’s script breakdown software was designed with AD’s in mind and it goes beyond the traditional to embrace the modern. Tag and categorize elements with a click, sync changes with other features like the script, stripboards, shot lists, and call sheets, and run reports that will ensure nothing has been left unaccounted for.
Import with Ease
Import any script file
Whether you’re writing directly in StudioBinder or importing an existing PDF, Final Draft, Fountain, or TXT file, your script breakdown process begins now.
Select-and-Tag Elements
Tag elements quickly and efficiently
Breaking down a script has never been more efficient. Import your screenplay and then select-and-tag elements with a clean, easy drop down menu.
Every element is highlighted in industry-standard script breakdown colors with customizable categories and script elements.
Script Editor
Script changes stay in sync
Any script changes can be made directly from the breakdown while retaining your progress. And if you need to go back, all versions are archived and can be restored in a snap.
Version Manager
Version control made easy
Roll back between script versions with ease.
Cast & Locations
Filter & Assign
Every feature was designed to save time. Search and filter by specific scene sets, and map shoot locations to them in a snap. When characters have dialogue in a scene, we automatically assign cast ID's so you don't have to.
Element Manager
Profiles for each element
The Elements Manager is a complete, searchable inventory of tagged elements.
Each element has its own profile page where you can create linked element groups, add notes, images, docs, and more.
When it comes to breakdown elements, organization is power.
All-in-One
Everything in one place
Every project is built around the screenplay — stripboards, shot lists, storyboards, calendars, call sheets, etc. So as you break down a script, all of your work is automatically updated across StudioBinder's other features, ensuring everyone on a production is working with the same set of accurate information.

StudioBinder is built on collaboration, and how you share it is up to you:
