✨ AI Tools
Utilities to help you write, plan, storyboard, grade, caption, and submit your films faster. AI tools use Claude; the rest run right in your browser.
Script Analyzer
Paste your script or treatment. Claude will extract a shot list, locations, cast requirements, estimated runtime, and production notes.
Shot List Generator
Describe a scene in plain English and get a formatted shot list with shot types, angles, lens suggestions, and notes.
✍️ Screenplay Formatter
Type or paste your scene in plain text (Fountain syntax) and watch it lay out in standard US screenplay format as you write. Print a clean PDF or copy the text — everything stays in your browser. Basics: a line starting INT./EXT. = scene heading; an ALL-CAPS line right before dialogue = a character; a (beat) on its own line = parenthetical; a line ending TO: = a transition.
Color Grade Presets
Preview cinematic color grades. Click a preset to see CSS filter values and a plain-English LUT description you can hand to your colorist.
Title Card Generator
Design title cards for your film intro, chapter markers, or credits. Customize text, style, and background.
Subtitle / SRT Formatter
Paste a raw transcript and we'll convert it to properly formatted SRT (SubRip) output for YouTube, festivals, and screenings.

Submission tips
📝 Festival Application Kit
Every festival asks for the same materials — a logline, synopses, a director's statement, a bio, and your tech specs. Write them once here with live word-count targets, then copy them straight into FilmFreeway. Saves in your browser. A tight logline and an honest director's statement do more than a long synopsis.
Tech specs
📄 Release Forms & Production Docs
Generate the paperwork every shoot needs — talent releases, location agreements, appearance releases, crew deal memos, and music-use permission. Fill in the details, copy or download, and get signatures before you roll. Festivals can disqualify films without proper releases.
🎞️ Storyboard Studio
Plan your film shot-by-shot the way directors do. Sketch a frame or drop in a reference image for every shot, set the size, angle, lens and camera move, then play it back as a timed animatic, print a clean storyboard to bring to set, or export a shot list. Everything saves right in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
✏️ Sketch frame
Tip: you can also sketch on top of a reference image you've added.
Import shot list
Paste one shot per line (e.g. straight from the Shot List tool). Each line becomes a new frame — if a line starts with a shot size like WS — or CU — we'll set the size for you.
Space = play/pause · ← → = step · Esc = close. Frames with no duration play for 2s. Add a scratch track to feel your cut against music or VO.
📋 Call Sheet & Schedule
Build the one document the whole crew reads on shoot day — call times, location, nearest hospital, weather, the day's schedule, and who's needed when. Strip color is set automatically from INT/EXT × Day/Night. Saves in your browser; print to a clean PDF or copy as text. Always confirm sunrise/sunset and the nearest hospital for your real location before you shoot.
🎬 Shooting schedule
Order scenes to minimize company moves (group by location, then Day before Night). Strip color = White INT-Day · Yellow EXT-Day · Blue INT-Night · Green EXT-Night.
