In this chapter, we met a number of assistants, which Celtx provides to handle drudge work and keep our creativity flowing. Specifically, we learned about tracking characters, plots, and thirty-six other production categories. Also we saw how to make use of intuitive formatting and easy shortcuts.

We explored the power of "write once, use many" with Celtx's Adapt feature and built PDFs of our scripts with the TypeSet feature.

Using the reversible color-coded electronic Index Cards made following plots and changing scenes around a breeze, as was letting Celtx track revisions for us. We learned how using the Template Engine lets us create new project types.

Coming up next, we'll learn about storyboarding, part of several strong aids in Celtx to pre-visualize how our movie or other production will look (this can save you a lot of time in writing coherent scripts).
