Script 360 can import Final Draft™ (FDX), Fountain and Adobe (PDF) files...

For the most complete import (from ScriptNotes to Revisions, font styling and more), use FDX files...

Because the FDX format is almost universally exportable regardless of what screenwriting software or site you currently used, we started by creating a comprehensive FDX import to allow you to get your partial or completed scripts uploaded and ready to go fast and simply.

If you have been using Final Draft™, just import your script file. With other software and screenwriting sites, find the Export function and choose the Final Draft export option to create a file we can read and interpret.

Fountain files import directly as well.

Fountain is a widely used text representation of screenplays: the whole script is ordinary plain text, with a few simple conventions that mark the scene headings, characters, dialogue, parentheticals and transitions. Many screenwriting apps can save or export a Fountain file, and because it is just text, one can be written in any text editor.

Import a file ending in .fountain (or a plain .txt file written the Fountain way) and we bring in the title page, every scene (with its scene numbers, when the file has them), bold, italic and underlined text, and dual dialogue. The cast and locations are added to your Smart Type lists, and any [[notes]] in the file become comments on the lines they belong to.

It works the other way too: from the editor, File > Export > Fountain file... saves any script as a Fountain file you can take to another app.

If you only have a PDF version of your screenplay, our importer is very comprehensive.

Everyone uses PDF files, and they have been a standard for submitting screenplays to agents, producers, even competitions. Additionally, creating a PDF from any editing software is practically a guarantee, whether a dedicated scriptwriting system or not.

About our own TVE file format

We created our own file format to save scripts from our site, best to just note for now that if you save a script from Script 360 to your computer using the TVE export, you can also import that file at a later date.

In the coming months...

We plan to add additional script file formats to our accepted list, stay tuned. That will ultimately include files from other popular screenwriting systems that have been around for years.
