How do I write a screenplay with AI?
Start from a brief, let the room outline it by act and sequence, then draft and approve it scene by scene. Writers Room measures a script in pages, about a minute of screen time a page, and hands it over as Fountain or Final Draft (.fdx).
Three kinds of script
- A screenplay: acts, sequences and scenes, with 28 roles on the project.
- A TV episode: one episode, structured by act with an act-out at each break (28 roles).
- A stage play: acts and scenes, about a minute of stage time a page (25 roles).
How it goes
The Interviewer turns your idea into a brief. The Architect outlines it with a page target for each unit. The Writer drafts one unit at a time against its page target. Editors read it for structure, continuity and the line, and you approve each scene before it counts.
Handing it over
Export Final Draft (.fdx), the file a working screenwriter is usually asked for, or Fountain, PDF or Word. Exports are rendered from a release, so exporting the same release later produces the same file.
A short screenplay or a TV episode uses about 40–60 credits.
